Powerful driving force quote by Tony Robbins:
“There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.”
– Tony Robbins
Understand the meaning or big idea behind this quote:
I like this quote about Earl Nightingale that relays a similar idea about what makes a person successful:
“Why do so many fail?
What has happened to the sparkle that was there when they were 25? What’s become of the dreams, the hopes, the plans?
And why is there such a large disparity between what these men intended to do, and what they actually accomplished?
[…] If a man is working toward a pre-determined goal and knows where he’s going, that man is a success. If he’s not doing that, he’s a failure. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”
One of Napoleon Hill most popular quotes, “Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”
What are your whys?
This quote on the driving force inside every human sounds beautiful and we probably know it to be true for top 1% of successful people but it doesn’t seem to ring true for ourselves. How can I tap into this potential? It’s a good question to ask yourself.
My take on this is it’s your reasons. It comes down to your why.
You have to know why something is worth doing and get very clear with yourself about that.
The more compelling your reason for doing something the deeper you will search within to make it happen. For each person this will be different so everyone has to do their own soul searching.
Part of this is knowing and actually believing you can effect change. You can be a difference in your community, to your family, and to yourself.
Lesson from Steve Jobs
I remember this teaching from Steve Jobs in a short clip on YouTube where he discusses one of the most important things he learned early in his life. I am paraphrasing but it goes something like, we’re often told to go through and to avoid crashing into things, don’t go bouncing off the walls.
But he realized early on with Steve Wozniak that they could build these ‘blue boxes’ that enabled long distance phone calls at no extra cost. From this experience he realized two kids in a garage could create something other people would want – that if you push at life something will pop out on the other end. That there’s a cause and effect relationship.
