Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins Presented by Brian Yablon
Chapter 1: Dreams of Destiny • We all want to believe that we have a special gift to make a difference, reach out to others, to repair the world. • Oftentimes, this is buried deep within us -- a sleeping giant waiting to be awakened.
Concentration of Power • Most of us are unaware of the power we have -- if we can only focus our attention. • “Thou shalt not major in minor things.”
How to Create Lasting Change • For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent.
The Ideas are Simple • First: • Raise your standards • Write down all the things you will no longer accept or tolerate in your life. • Write down all the things you aspire to become.
Finding the Right Paddle • Next: • Change your limiting beliefs. • Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us: • how things are, • what’s possible, and • what’s impossible.
Our Belief Systems • Our beliefs act as our universal filters. • We have to change our belief systems to make lasting change in our lives. • We must be certain we can and will meet our new standards before we actually do meet them.
Adapt • Finally: • Change your strategy. • Find a role model and copy him/her. • There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. • Do something different.
Take Action • Lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. • Knowing is not enough. You must take action.
Mastery • The five areas that impact us the most: • Emotional mastery • Physical mastery • Relationship mastery • Financial mastery • Time mastery
Chapter 2: Decisions:The Pathway to Power • Write your epitaph! • Then work backward: • Ask yourself where you want to be. • Then ask yourself how you will live today in order to reach that imagined future.
The Difficult is Done at Once; the Impossible Takes a Little Longer • If we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions -- we are our habits. • Everything that happens in our lives begins with a decision.
Decisions vs. Conditions • Our destiny is determined by our decisions not the conditions of our lives. • You may not be able to control your conditions, but you can control your decisions.
Decisions and Excuses • Making true decisions allows you to move beyond excuses and change every part of your life instantly. • Your past does not determine your future -- unless you allow it to.
Getting to Where You Want to Go • Decide what you want. • Take action. • Notice what is working and what is not. • Change your approach until you reach your goal.
Decisions are NOT Dreams • Making a true decision means committing to achieving a result, then cutting yourself off from any other possibility.
Decisions are Power • True decisions give us a sense of relief, a sense of clarity, and a sense of power.
Information and Power • Information is power only when it is acted upon. • Then, repetition becomes skill which becomes habit.
Control Your Destiny • The three decisions that control your destiny are: • What you focus on. • What things mean to you. • What you do to create the results you desire.
Do Not Follow the Crowd! • Make a plan or you’ll follow the crowd. • Plans are based upon decisions. • Decisions are based upon: • Your core beliefs • Your life values • Your references • Habitual questions you ask yourself. • Emotional states you experience in each moment.
The Process of Success • Success is the result of good judgment. • Good judgment is the result of experience. • Experience is often the result of bad judgment. • Expect to make mistakes on your journey toward success.
Mastery • Mastery takes as long as you want it to take. • There are no failures in life; there are only results. • If you don’t get the results you want, learn from your experience in order to make better decisions in the future.
Long-Term Focus • Most of the challenges we experience come from short-term focus. • Success or failure are not overnight experiences.
Spirituality • What to do in tough times? • Remember that G-d’s delays are not G-d’s denials. • No season lasts forever.
Exercising Your Power • Remember the power of making decisions. • The hardest step to achieving anything is deciding to. • Make decisions often, practice them. • Learn from your decisions. • Stay committed but stay flexible in your approach. • Enjoy.
