Tony Robbins - My Truth Touchstone

When others provide me with feedback, regardless of whether it’s good or bad, I really struggle with not allowing my opinion to override what the individual is telling me.  Which, can ultimately lead to completely disregarding what they’ve said.  Sometimes I find that the other person is on target, and sometimes, I think my opinion makes more sense.  And, unfortunately, I usually decide what I will do or believe based off of what I think or feel. 
 

We all need to be careful of allowing our own opinions to become fact in our minds.  It’s those types of people that become completely out of touch with reality. 

 I’m not sure when I first discovered Tony Robbins, but he has truly become my truth touchstone.  He provides information on business success, relationships, and personal development.  I’ve listened to dozens upon dozens of his videos on YouTube, and also watched his NetFlix movie Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru.  If you listen with the intent to learn something, I think you’ll find that Mr. Robbins will force you to drop your excuses, take responsibility for what you’re doing, and challenge you to make an immediate change.  I can see how some find him to be a motivational speaker, but for me, I think he’s more like true best friend, who isn’t going to beat around the bush, but rather tell you the truth straight out.  Mr. Robbins keeps it real, honest, and straight and to the point.  There's really no room for interpretation.  He never attacks anyone, or puts anyone down.  He has this gift of not only reading people, but knowing exactly what they need to hear, when they need to hear it.  He’s truly an amazing person.  And, I love learning from him. 
 

Your entire life can truly change in an instant.

It doesn’t always feel that way.  We talk about “working on things” and how we’re “trying to be different.”  But, the truth is that we can make a conscious decision to do things differently.  Sometimes it’s more of struggle to stay focused and keep on the right track, but every day we can choose to be a better person than we were yesterday.  And, I so love that idea of choice.  Life isn’t just happening to us.  While we can’t always control things that are thrown in our path, we can control how we react to them.
