I remember listening to a Tony Robbins CD a few years ago, I think it is on Get The Edge or maybe Personal Power, well one of those, and he said something along the lines of “The only thing standing in your way of getting what you want is the story you have to tell why you don’t have it” when I heard this it struck a nerve, seemed so simple and straight down the line.

For years people have talked about how important your attitude is and that your attitude will determine your altitude, another one of my favorite quotes.

For many of us, myself included it can be easy to get caught up in the day to day drama and problems or as I prefer challenges we face. It can be easy to lose sight of what really matters and how good we really have it.

I have travelled to many places around the world and it always brings me back to how good we really have it in the western world, or to be more specific to myself in Australia.

From my travels in Asia it always amazes me how wonderful people adapt and find a way to make things work even though it may seem unorthodox to someone from the western world.

However this is what success in life is all about, your ability to adapt and have a winning attitude no matter what challenges we are faced with. You can always find something to complain about or be grateful for it is your choice and this choice in attitude will determine your results in life.

I want to share a video with your today that is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. I also included some pictures from my latest adventures to Cape Town in South Africa and a small island called Mauritius.

Enjoy.

Anthony Robbins is said to be the father of motivation – what a lot of people don’t know about Tony is how he became so famous and well known. Anthony Robbins has been transforming lives for 3 decades.

How Anthony became so famous was for his one stop therapy.

What is one stop therapy? I hear you say

Anthony Robbins went on national television and with no physiology degree took others therapist patients which that had not be successful to cure their phobias for years and on national television cured them in one session.

You could imagine what happened after that, everyone was amazed including the psychologists and the psychiatrist. They couldn’t believe how fast he got results.

So how did he do it? How could he get results so fast when the professional couldn’t for years? Well Anthony used a behavioural science called NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming)

Since then Robbins has redefined NLP into NAC  (Neuro-Associative Conditioning) Robbins says that the main difference between NAC and NLP lies in the use of the word ‘conditioning’ instead of the word ‘programming’. Robbins has published books Unlimited Power and awakened the Giant within and his audio program Personal Power which is the highest selling self help program ever and conducts several seminars around the world the most famous being Unleash the Power Within.

Robbins doesn’t call himself a motivational speaker; he refers himself as a Peak Performance Coach He tries to find out what people do when they are at their peak and then help them access that peak state whenever necessary. He believes what he does is more effective than providing temporary motivation.

After speaking to over 2 million people in many countries around the world he has discover that as humans we have 6 basic needs.

1. Certainly
2. Varity
3. Significance
4. Connection/Love
5. Growth
6. Contribution
