[Applause]
now whatever you wanted to be here's the
question I want to ask you why did you
want to be that in other words what was
the feeling you were hoping to get from
that
what were the sensations what were you
wanting to be and do what we want to be
get from that when I think back on I
think about what I really want to be as
an archaeologist is I wanted to discover
things I mean that was the biggest thing
I want to discover things that had not
been discovered for something new
something unique something different and
I wanted to share that with people I
wanted to be a person who went out
discovered and then shared that
discovery with others and you know it's
interesting I'm doing that today
I'm just not sticking my head in the
sand and doing it I'm doing it by
sticking my head in other people's
brains and find out what makes them tick
and once I know what makes me tick and
then sharing some of that but at that
feeling that same feeling that I wanted
then I found a way to do it today in a
new way and so I challenge you think
about what was it you really wanted from
that didn't think of something else you
wanted to be when you're growing up I
wanted to also be a police artist later
on remember that you know those guys
that draw those pictures you know and
show people and catch the bad guys and
why did I want to do that what I want to
get from that
oh gosh thought about it while I loved I
wanted to create I want to be creative
and and I wanted to help people and I
wanted to help people do the right
things I want to be by the team I want I
catch the bad guys but most importantly
I wanted to create and help people well
guess what I found a way to do that
today different than I originally
thought but the same purpose is there
now maybe it's not the same purpose for
you for all the things you want to do
maybe they have a common thread or maybe
they're different threads that are
important what else did you want to be
when you're going up and why did you
want it what feelings did you hope it
would give you what do you hope would
come from it thanks for a second I'll
give you another one of mine while
you're thinking try and trigger you what
else I want to do well I wanted to
definitely be a rock star I want to be
able to entertain people to change their
emotional states to use my voice in my
face and my body to give people more
passion in their lives and I found
another way to do that plus I get to
work with some of these people the other
day I got a chance to go to the
Aerosmith concert I kind of grew up
listening to those guys and I found out
the Steven Tyler and some of these guys
are fans of mine as well went backstage
and I met Tim Collins who's
managering he told me a phenomenal story
so that years ago in the early 80s when
Aerosmith was in really bad shape the
guys were hooked on heroin and they were
losing everything financially and a
group had broken up but he decided he's
going to turn it around and he read two
books Think and Grow Rich and a little
book called unlimited power and he said
that what he learned there gave him the
inspiration and some of the tools and
strategies to get himself off heroin and
coke and they needed a group
intervention and help the other guys do
the same and these guys are now in a
mission they're totally clean they're
Evian water drinking guys that are out
there sharing their rock and roll and
their message and are doing healthfully
I got a chance to meet Steven Tyler is
just an incredible guy I mean these guys
have been touring for 23 years giving
their all passionately every day they
like their brothers and it was really
interesting cuz he said yeah watch it on
TV all the time I feel like walk on the
same path you know I listen to your
tapes he said we really have the same
mission so you know do you think you'd
get together with and do a gig for us I
said what do you mean he's like you know
the guys on the weekend could you maybe
like do your gig for us so we can all
participate on the weekend but they're
laughing I pinch myself I thought how
cool now I get to do a gig for Aerosmith
I'm not out there rock and rollin but
sort of I am I'm working with the rock
and rollers those fun so my point is
maybe you're not doing what you
originally envisioned but maybe you'll
find a way to do it even better if you
have some faith maybe if you keep
developing yourself and you know at
least the emotion you want the
contribution you want to create you'll
find a better way most importantly
before you can find a way you got to
know the essence of what it is you
really want what is that purpose that's
what I'm really asking you about now
with your eyes closed again think about
a situation in your life when you felt
like you're really on a roll you know
the kind of situation I'm talking about
where you just felt incredibly good at
great feelings where things were just
flowing things were effortless when you
thought yourself wow I love this this is
what life's about I love this is it this
is this is what life is really about
can you remember time like that in your
life at any age young or old well you
really thought like you're in that flow
is like this is it this is what life's
about
think of a situation like that right now
remember that time step back into your
mind back in your body like you were
then and look through your own eyes as
you were then
you felt like this is what life's about
and see what you saw here what you heard
what were you doing what were you
feeling
what would the state you were in what
were you experiencing yeah think about
it and tell me what is it and it was
there anything in common with this with
some of the other things you wanted to
have in your life the feelings you
wanted to have maybe you wanted to grow
or create or contributer discover or
expand or challenge what is it love what
were the feelings what were you doing
and then when you get a sense of what
that was then think about this think of
another situation you lie think of a
second one when you felt like you're on
a roll at some other point in your life
when things were flowing when you felt
this is it this is what life's about I
love this think of another time like
that with step into that situation as
well step into it right now and you step
in that situation look around see what
you saw be and hear what you heard then
feel what you were feeling men what was
happening in that moment not just what
you were doing notice what you were
doing were you creating or writing or
speaking and communicating or or
manufacturing something or studying or
learning and what were you doing but
also how are you feeling what would a
state you're in
and what were you doing for others if
they were involved with other people
involved what was the process what how
are you being and what were you're doing
feel in your body is there anything that
is similar between this and last
experience or anything about this that's
similar between this and the feelings
that you wanted from those things you
wanted to be when you're going to grow
up
that's it notice it and capture not only
the idea this but the feeling as well
now one more time think of something
else another time at any age when you
felt like you're on a major role things
were really flowing we felt incredible
when you felt like I love this this is
what life's really about this is it
think of another situation like that
right now and as you step into that
situation right now notice what were you
doing what were you creating what we
have sharing what were you feeling
feeling these feelings think about the
purpose of your life if you were going
to say it in a simple phrase not even
paragraphs and paragraphs simple phrase
or a sentence or two and you're going to
write down the purpose of my life is to
what if you're going to do it you're
going to have a couple simple criteria
one has got to be stated positive not
the personal life is to stop all the
horrible
in the world no no something positive
something stated in the positive and
info it's going to be something brief
and it was going to be something
emotionally charged in terms of its
words for you it has to have how you're
going to be as a person and what are you
going to do and it's got to include not
just other people like I'm going to
change other people's lives or I'm going
to make the world better for other
people it's gotta you got to be in your
own mission statement you got to be your
own purpose statement you got to be in
there too and other people don't have a
purpose of my life is for me to be happy
because we're all connected so if it's
you and others being and doing brief
ensure what is the purpose of your life
what is it right now what comes out of
your head not the right answer not the
perfect answer just the answer the
purpose your life is to be and do what
for yourself another just say it out
loud just say it don't even write it
down at first and you got pen and paper
then write it down purpose my life is to
what say it again try something keep
changing it and if you write it down
each time it'll give you a better saw it
I'd prefer if you wrote it down but just
come up with something the purpose of my
life for me Tony Robbins is to serve God
and my fellow man by being a powerful
loving passionate outrageous courageous
strong playful crazy example of the
unlimited possibilities that God gives
when you commit your life to service
when you really focus on contribution
that's what my life's about I know what
I feel I can change the word slightly
here and there but I know the essence of
my life and you've got to know what that
is for you that is what will help you to
make the decisions that'll give you the
motivation to get up early and stay up
late that'll make you connect with
people in a way you've never connected
before but you got to know what it is
and it's got to be more than just you
you and others got to be brief it's got
to be emotional got to be intense so go
do it right now turn off the tape and
just start writing like crazy what is
the purpose of your life and when you
write something write another thing
cross it out write another one keep
writing it better and better so you got
something you like them to turn the tape
back on go for it do it now the purpose
of your life is to what
you did turn this thing off didn't you
you're not just sitting there thinking
come on if you write it out it'll be
better with more precision turning off
if you're on your way back and just
ignore the last sentence welcome back
daddy got something you really like I
hope so I know it's not the end-all
be-all and it better not be perfect or
I'm going to come to this tape and grab
you your job is not to be perfect it's
to be excellent perfection can never
really be achieved anyway if you're
truly a perfectionist then it's never
perfect but it's getting better all the
time so what is the purpose of your life
and how does it feel and you think about
this is the purpose of my life and only
give you one other criteria did you
write it so you can only achieve it once
you die if so change it from K so we
don't want you have to die to achieve
your purpose which is what some people
have it should be something you can
experience every day know whatever you
do whether you're just sitting at the
lunch counter you're walking through a
grocery store you're going and
conducting your business I don't care
what it is it should be something you
can feel and you got to find what that
is for you and I had a language that at
least for now so you know the goal of
the game with that your life takes on a
whole nother dimension so as you go out
over the next month try something take
this purpose statement and keep in front
of you put it in the system use for
managing your time and keeping your
to-do list put it up on the wall nearby
and as you look at it each day don't
just write it and forget about it
think about each day how can I live my
purpose more when you go to make a
decision about doing something and
you're not sure why you're doing it you
can always go back to your purpose you
can do it going into a meeting and
already going to meeting around going
the media I'm going to be powerful
loving passion outrageous platform and
inspire people to see what's possible if
we really serve all the people around us
that's not how to figure out you have a
guiding principle no matter what happens
principles don't change the essence of
who you are will not change the
environment may change the vehicles may
change but what's inside of you won't
let me say one final thing to you before
Sims you often have you take some more
time to work on your mission statement
one is if you want to send me your
mission statement the Robbins research
I'd love to receive it I'd love to see
how you've language the purpose of your
life so if you feel like doing that
please do and address it to me
personally the other thing is this I
want you to realize that very often not
getting your dream gives you your
destiny
what I mean by that is this so often as
I said when we started this tape people
set up a goal or a demon they don't get
it and then he feels so disappointed so
frustrated sometimes resentful towards
others or to their creator or towards
themselves or not accomplishing or
achieving it but the truth of the matter
is whenever something happens you must
find an empowering meaning you must ask
yourself how can I use this if this was
to serve a higher purpose in my life
how would I use it to serve a higher
purpose if this was going to make me
into somebody more how would I use it to
make me more and very often in life if
you really look back on your life the
worst situations in your life have been
the best if you were willing to trust
that it happened for a reason that
somehow even though this is painful
you'd never want it to happen again
somehow this is going to serve you maybe
you were hurt by someone or some
situation but because of that your kids
will never be hurt the same way you did
when you were a child or maybe you went
through some tough time but because of
that you help somebody else so they
won't have to go through the same pain
you did maybe the pain made you make a
new decision is saying you're in a brand
new direction that brought you to this
destiny I really truly believe in my
heart of hearts that if were willing to
trust and have faith and look for
answers and actively pursue them that
every human experience supports us even
those that are painful and I believe we
can probably do them without the pain
but the pain does strike or something
happens outside your control which it
will instead of living in fear that that
will happen someday you want to live in
a sense of certainty that says no matter
what happens I will benefit from it
because I will look for benefits and
therefore I will find them it's that
simple
I'll give you a good metaphor you know
there's a great movie I'm sure you
recall was called Field of Dreams in it
they said if you build it they will come
in the movie Kevin Costner seeks out an
old man by the name of dark grim he's
played by Burt Lancaster and when he
first meets this man he's going to see
him to tell him about a field of dreams
that Kevin has developed a place where
these old men could come back and play
again to be young again to live their
dream till he meets doc Graham he starts
to talk to him he says I understand that
you only were able to play one inning in
your life because doc Graham said well
yeah my whole life's dream was always to
play baseball to be a professional he
said every single
they I gave my all I lived this passion
he said you know I took ground balls and
batting practice and I push myself and
he said finally I made it I made it to
the big leagues and the whole season
went by without my being able to play
and finally at the end of the season in
the eighth inning the coach looked over
at me and said kid I want you in right
field he said I was so happy I couldn't
believe it I ran out on the field and he
said I stood help there in right field
waiting for somebody hit it to me
waiting for my chance and nothing
happened then when we came back in he
said my turn to bat never came and the
next year they without giving me another
chance or even getting me a chance they
sent me back to the minor leagues and he
said I couldn't I just couldn't take it
I couldn't take going through that again
so I quit and kevin costner said oh my
god that's unbelievable
what incredible pain what devastation
that must have destroyed you I mean for
any man to be that close to a dream and
have your dream passed you by as if it
doesn't even know it's you he said that
that must have been the most destructive
painful thing that that that's a total
disaster and when my gram said no son he
said playing baseball for only five
minutes was not a disaster playing
baseball for only five minutes was not
devastating what would have been a
disaster what would have been
devastating is if I'd only been a doctor
for five minutes
you see if I would hit that baseball
that may have been the bigger disaster
because then I never would have come to
this little town I never would have
saved this man's life or delivered that
little girl or got to know the people
that now my best friend's in the world
he said that would have been a disaster
in other words sometimes not getting
your dream gives you what you really
want what you really need what you're
really destined for and if that part of
the movie didn't give it to you they
followed up with another scene finally
there's a chance you know Kevin Costner
makes arrangements and he said listen
there's this field of dreams you can
come on it you can be young
and you can live your dream still they
brings moonlight Graham to the field
with all the other players and when he
steps out on the field he's young again
and he's wearing his uniform and he can
feel the warm sunshine on his body again
and these youthful muscles and the smell
of fresh-cut grass and the baseball in
his hand and finally beginning to play
and just as moonlight Graham is finally
stepping in the batter's box finally
he's going to get a chance to get that
hit in life in professional baseball his
dream right at that moment there's a
scream in the stands because Kevin
Costner and his brother having a
conversation his brother doesn't see
these players on the field he doesn't
have a face to experience the beauty and
the joy and the fun and what's right
there in front of him you can't see it
because of his lack of faith and as
they're arguing about this
he accidentally turns and knocks Kevin
Costner's daughter off the top of the
stands she falls and hits her head and
she starts turning blue and so all of a
sudden they start yelling oh my god oh
my god what we can do we got a sabre
she's dying she's dying and the whole
sudden Costner sisters out there we need
a doctor we need a doctor and just as he
hears those words move my grandma's
about to swing the bat he says I'm a
doctor he starts running full blast to
help this child but all of a sudden he
stops and he looks down and there in
front of him is the foul line the foul
line that divides the field of dreams
from the other world and he knows if he
crosses it he can never go back he can
never live his dream he doesn't hesitate
anymore
he immediately steps across and he saved
the child's life he loses his dream but
he lives his destiny the moral is very
simple inside each one of us there are
desires that we have for our personality
those things that we want to avoid pain
and want to gain pleasure for but there
are also moral needs though those needs
inside of us to go beyond ourselves to
something greater to something more to
give of ourselves in a way that maybe
we've never given before maybe a way
there won't even be acknowledged
but we'll give us the greatest sense of
a film we've ever dreamed of in our
lives I say to you that if what you've
tried so far hasn't worked all it is is
preparing you for more but don't wait
for the ultimate day when you save a
life start saving a life today by
enjoying the one you have start saving a
life today by touching the people around
you you know do what Cecil did be a
person that loves people animals beings
be a person when things don't go on you
well plant twice as much be a person who
gives more than anybody else gives and
you'll be living your purpose no matter
how you language it hold yourself to a
higher standard and someday you'll see
something more dramatic but along the
way you'll enjoy the joy of knowing that
you're living your life's purpose today
isn't that what life's really about not
waiting until some day living it today
hey I want to thank you for spending
this time with me I am so grateful to
God to have the opportunity to connect
with you as if we've been friends for
years and we've not even met but I hope
in this time together that you've found
some some strategies some tools and
maybe found a piece of yourself I minded
yourself with the truth of how unique
and special you are not an egotistical
way but everyone is everyone is unique
and special in some way I do think less
of yourself is to slap the face of your
Creator you've been giving gifts and
it's time to make them real and getting
the edge has been about sharing with you
some of those tools and the most
important ones are taking that time for
yourself please do that for yourself
consistently if you did nothing else out
of this but that I promise you you'll
see your future unfold and you'll hear
the whispers of destiny
you'll hear the guidance that's within
you but you got to take time to be alone
and do that if you do it every day
you'll see a change if you go through
that results workshop and just change
anything you're not want to settle for
any more and be honest with yourself if
you take and make those relationships
magnificent and not settle in this area
either oh my god everything life changes
when you've got someone to share with it
you'll love everyone you've ever been a
relationship with is a bonus to you
it's one of God's great gifts but if you
can find that soulmate you got
everything and I have to say that for me
finding my soulmate finding my wife's
age was the richest day of my life and
every day as Richard because of it I
hope for you my prayer for you as you
find someone like that that you have
that kind of love for and they have that
kind of love for you or if they're there
that you treasure them and you find a
way to make that juicier every single
day if you do that on top of it you
energize and alkalis and get that
vitality in your body can master your
finances turn your emotions into your
friend and you find your purpose then
the life you create will be so much
greater than your dreams your old dreams
will seem like cartoons by comparison to
the life you're living and if you're
able to make those kinds of changes
you'll be able to stand proud knowing
you're the one that did it but also I
have a special prize knowing that maybe
I helped in some little way to guide you
deeper into connecting with yourself
because the ultimate edge is connection
with yourself with your Creator with
your friends with your family with life
itself and if you do that
then these seven sessions were certainly
well worth both that time so I wish you
well my friend then for now I saved so
long but I hope I'll see you sometime
soon and you'll share with me the story
of your success and what you've done
please email me write me or come see me
in a seminar I'd love to meet you
personally but until then make sure that
every day is lived to the fullest don't
settle for less than you can be you want
a few do verses the men you talk and be
sure to live with passion
