Big Idea or Meaning of this quote:
We can draw lessons from everyday things that otherwise may seem trivial but really cement the point being made.
In the seminar Tony Robbins gives the analogy of what it’s like to play a video game with a child. Anyone who has played for example, Call of Duty or Fortnite with they kid knows what goes down. The child absolutely annihilates you.
Complete humiliation.
Every four seconds, BAM! you get shot in the back and you’re dead. They always win… and I mean ALWAYS. You have no chance. Now, is it because they are smarter, or have fast twitch thumb muscle fibers, or that their neurons or firing faster?
No, of course not.
As Tony says, “the reason you get beat is you don’t know where things are happening, so you’re reacting. Reaction is always stressful. And yet so much of our life is predictable. If we just were to study it, not be caught up in our day to day, it’s predictable.”
Life is a lot like that.
We can find people who have already done what we’re trying to accomplish (unless your Elon trying to colonize Mars – that’s never been done before.)
Concluding thought from Tony, “There are those that anticipate, those that lead, and then there’s that follow. The followers are the reactionaries. And you can’t anticipate and lead unless you first learn how to lead yourself at a different level.”
