Is Tony Robbins full of shit?: The Verdict

What do I mean by full of shit?- I mean is he genuine, is what he teaches helpful to people and make a sustained difference in people’s lives?

The answer is NO, Tony Robbins is definitely in my opinion not full of shit. In fact he is very genuine and makes incredibly sustained positive changes to people’s lives. (You make up your own, never let someone else make it up for you, they have no right) Attend Unleash the Power Within and decide for yourself.

So how have I arrived at this my decisioin? Well for those of you that have not been following this blog (shame on you) I will set the scene. Last weekend I traveled to New York York city to attend a four day 12 hour a day seminar led by one Monsieur Tony Robbins. I went there very skeptical and was expecting this very plastic, “Just think positively and everything will work out just fine” self help guru that was probably going to be sitting on a bean bag while giving his sermon.

You see I am proud of being Irish, but for some reason we have a tendency to be skeptical. Would you blame us. We were up to one generation ago, unable to openly express ourselves due to being under English rule and then we were lied to as a nation over the last ten years by our leaders, damn right we might be skeptical. I was probably the most skeptical person on the face of the planet last weekend when I walked in to the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey.

And man was I wrong. Why? I hear you ask, sitting there in your chair.

What the 4,000 people in attendance got was four days of how to take charge of your own life, to find out what you really want out of this one great life you have been given, why you have not got what you want up to now, what has been driving you up to now, what do you fear, like really fear and most of all what is your strategy for moving forward and creating more of what you want in your life.

We are all on this earth to be happy right?, that is what we all want, every signle human being. What was very interesting about this weekend was how Tony Robbins uncovered what drives us all and how many of us attempt to experience happiness through methods that are unsustainable.

When I work with people one on one, the thing I have learned that challenges people most are self defeating thought patterns: “I am not good enough, I should have done this or that, I feel like I will never have enough time/money/peace of mind etc etc” And that is just a taste. this past weekend reminded me that you are not that voice in your head. you are the voice you DECIDE you want in your head. So decide to think thoughts that empower you.

The other very important thing to remember is that merely being positive will not get you what you want out of this life, it will help alright, but to really enjoy the happiness that is your birthright you will need more. You will need to understand your fears, the beliefs that are driving you and limiting you, you will  have to have a strategy of how you are going to get what you want, and you will need to develop rock solid perseverance.

Or as Benjamin Disraeli once said: “We are not creatures of circumstance we are creators of circumstance”.

Have a great fucking day today and play it loud.
