If life’s a test…
“If life’s a test, you tell me what’s life like? Well, I’d say it’s tough. You’ve got to prepare. You could pass or fail at life. If you’re someone who’s successful at taking tests, you might say that life’s a breeze. My point is even one metaphor shapes you. What if life isn’t a test? What if instead life is a battle? Then you’re always looking for a fight or expecting one to come your way.”
– Tony Robbins
Understand the meaning or big idea behind this quote:
Jim Rohn advises people who want to embark on personal development and people who want achieve great heights to first begin with their life philosophy.
What and how you think, your perception of the world will shape what’s possible for you.
This ties in nicely with the quote, “those who believe they can and those who believe they can’t are both normally right”
Now, your meaning you give to life is determined by you.
As Tony puts it, “If life’s a test, you tell me what’s life like? Well, I’d say it’s tough. You’ve got to prepare. You could pass or fail at life” And… “What if life isn’t a test? What if instead life is a battle? Then you’re always looking for a fight or expecting one to come your way.”
In the ultimate edge program Tony follows this up by saying,
“So whatever we focus on, it tends to show up in our life. It’s working on your underlying philosophy of how you see the world which influences what you’ll find and how you’ll interact with it.
Getting people to have the courage and the faith to realize there there’s no security in life and there is no security in relationship, there’s only what you can contribute. There’s only what you can create.”
Jim Rohn claims he has the best definition for life, “Life is not just the passing of time. Life is the collection of experiences, their frequency and their intensity.”
