Tony Robbins Now Mainstream Then Before

Tonight the world famous Tony Robbins goes mainstream on NBC with an awesome and well needed positive based show called Breakthrough. I can’t wait. Although I lived most of my life as a negative person I recently had a breakthrough of my own so I can’t wait to check it out.



Here’s a great brand new site he has which explores the story behind the story.

Tony Robbins is THE TOP Motivational speaker in the world, with famous titles like Awakening the Giant within and tons of positive mindset products. The man doesn’t need money for sure and I like how my new friend Kathy Blogger wrote her post about the show and another friend Karen also wrote about the Show Breakthrough.

Global Generalizations You Have That You Don't Know You Have

Global Beliefs
Global Generalizations

What is that?

What makes a belief or a generalization "Global"?

There are beliefs that you are conscious of, your aware of them, you know that you believe X and not Y.
What makes one global is a Forrest to the trees  relationship.
The Fishbowl to the Fish.

Now fish gotta know on some level that there is "something" outside of the fish bowl, they can't do much about it so there's not much reason for the fish to ponder what is different on the other side of the glass.

Global beliefs are characterized by:
Assumptions
Unquestioned assumptions

You "just know" life is a certain way, and from your perspective, everybody "ought to" see X the way you see X.

If someone thinks otherwise, you assume there is something wrong with them.

Global beliefs are characterized by unspoken internal assumptions people make, for example:

• "Life Is"
• "People Are"
• "Screw them before they screw you"

Almost all of those are NOT decisions you carefully selected from a field of choices

Most likely you grafted those assumptions from of your parents... chances are they just "assimilated" them from THEIR parents.

if you carefully considered them, you could see them as optional


BUT you aren't even aware that you "chose" them, you just "assumed" that's the way it is.

My ex wife dated a dysfunctional guy (almost as dysfunctional as I was at the time) who used to explain:

"that's the way I was raised"
Every time he invoked that global belief he shut down.
no new incoming ideas allowed.. I mean what ever it was, was set in stone.
not open to discussion or wiggle room.
It didn't matter if the position he took was a good idea or not, it was non negeotiable

Reality and him simply didn't get along.

.... don't let that happen to you

Sugar consumption, Physiology and your State

What *State* are you in right now?

One of the principal tenents of Robbins' 1989 "Personal Power" audio serise is "State Management".

According to Tony, behavior has more to do with how you 'hold' or 'frame' a given situation. If you "come from" a pre-supposed "state" you're not as likely to perform at your best.

Virtually all of us give little thought to how we "hold" ourselves. I mean we are aware of what ever pressing problems are in front of us, we give little thought to the context "governing" how we "process" what ever is going on with us internally.

What does that mean really?

Crap happens
We react to it.
What ever resources we have at our disposal, at that time, we assume "is what it is"

The quantity and quality of those resources available to us is dependent on... what? you didn't know those were variables did you?

They are dependent on the context we hold our content.

that's right, context is MORE important than content.

If your "context" is: "I'm tired", "Life's  been kicking my butt" (glass half empty and level dropping fast)

then what's that gonna do to what ever "battery power" you have left?
