Week 2023-15: Anthony Robbins - Collected Quotes

"How do I define a hero? A hero is a person who courageously contributes under even the most trying circumstances; a hero is an individual who acts unselfishly and who demands more from himself or herself than others would expect; a hero is a man or woman who defies adversity by doing what he or she believes is right in spite of fear." (Anthony Robbins, "Awaken the Giant Within", 1991)

"If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in your life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve. You need to set and live by these standards no matter what happens in your life." (Anthony Robbins, "Awaken the Giant Within", 1991)

"One of the most important decisions you can make to ensure your long-term happiness is to decide to use whatever life gives you in the moment." (Anthony Robbins, "Awaken the Giant Within", 1991)

"Strive for balance rather than perfection. Most people live in a black-and-white world where they think that they’re either a volunteer with no life of their own, or just a materialistic, achievement-oriented person who doesn’t care to make a difference. Don’t fall into this trap. Life is a balance between giving and receiving, between taking care of yourself and taking care of others." (Anthony Robbins, "Awaken the Giant Within", 1991)

"Each of us is endowed with innate resources that enable us to achieve all we’ve ever dreamed of—and more. The floodgates can be opened by one decision, bringing us joy or sorrow, prosperity or poverty, companionship or solitude, long life or early death. What decisions have you made or failed to make int he past that powerfully influence your life today?" (Anthony Robbins)

"In order to succeed at anything and not be stressed, you have to be able to take a whole variety of action items and group them smartly so that they help you accomplish a common outcome. If you take a project and try to do the whole thing at once, you'll be overwhelmed; if you break something into too many small steps, it'll be equally daunting and frustrating." (Anthony Robbins)

"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. Choose well." (Anthony Robbins)

"It's not what we do once in a while that counts, but our consistent actions. And what is the father of all action? What ultimately determines who we become and where we go in life? The answer is our decisions. It's in these moments that our destiny is shaped. More than anything else, I believe our decisions - not the conditions of our lives - determine our destiny." (Anthony Robbins)

"Make a decision today that can immediately change or improve the quality of your life. Do something you’ve been putting off, master a new set of skills, treat people with newfound respect and compassion, call someone you haven’t spoken to in years. Just know that all decisions have consequences. Even making no decision at all is a decision in its own way." (Anthony Robbins)

"Most people fail in life because they major in minor things." (Anthony Robbins)

"Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!" (Anthony Robbins)

"Rewards are disproportionate when you reach an outstanding level of achievement - and outstanding is just one small notch above excellent." (Anthony Robbins)

"Small visions have no power to move us. For most people, their challenge is not that they are not motivated or that they don’t have the intelligence to figure out how to get what they want. Most people simply don’t have a large and compelling enough vision." (Anthony Robbins)

"The only impossible journey is the one you never begin." (Anthony Robbins)

"The quality of your growth is a direct reflection of how much discomfort you can comfortably live with" (Anthony Robbins)

"The way to get good at making decisions is to make more of them. Then if you make the wrong ones, you'll learn more quickly and you can use what you've learned to make better decisions in the future." (Anthony Robbins)

"There are no failures in life, only results." (Anthony Robbins)

"There is always room in your life for thinking bigger, pushing limits, imagining the unimaginable." (Anthony Robbins)

"We are not creatures of circumstance; we are creators of circumstance." (Anthony Robbins)

"What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability." (Anthony Robbins)
