Quote: “In life you either need inspiration or desperation”
“In life you either need inspiration or desperation”
– Tony Robbins
Understand the big idea or meaning behind this quote:
Tony says people need, “Inspiration – to see a future for yourself that pulls you forward. Some need a kick in the but to turn their life around. My advice is to lean on the inspiration rather desperation if you can.”
Jim Rohn often has said “if the promise of the future is clear then the price gets easy to pay” which I believe comes to this idea that we don’t like uncertainty. Inspiration gives us hope and if the dream or vision is compelling enough it will pull you into the future (the price gets easy to pay).
The desperation side of things is like the saying “hitting rock bottom”, that you no longer accept your current reality and the way things are and finally are willing to make that change, drop that habit, attend the classes and doing the things you know you should’ve been doing all along.
We should always avoid or try to minimize suffering – it’s not a healthy place to come from but it can be a powerful motivator if you let it be.
