notes from Anthony Robbins TED talk

  • Immersion
  • why, what is your motivation today?
  • invisible force of internal drive
  • emotion is the force of life
  • effective people/leaders understand these forces
  • what makes the difference in the performance, quality of life
  • science of achievement- take the invisible, make it visible- make your dream happen- your body, your family
  • art of fulfillment- appreciation, contribution
  • we live in a therapy culture; the mindset that we are our past
  • the past equals the future? it does if you live there
  • you can know what to do and not do it, intellectually
  • so decision is the ultimate power
  • lack of resources = not a defining factor, is resourcefulness
  • if you have emotion, and communicated it, you would’ve gotten it
  • if we get the right emotion we can do anything
  • WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FOCUS ON
  • WHAT DOES IT MEAN
  • WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
  • decision is the ultimate power
  • EMOTIONAL FITNESS PSYCHOLOGICAL STRENGTH
  • after a while patterns become obvious
  • two invisible forces- one, state- two, -it wasn’t your ability, your state
  • model of the world, world view, filter – long term, shape you
  • what’s your target, what are you after- not your desire or goal
  • 6 human needs
  • and the fuel you pick
  • needs of the personalities
  • 1: certainty- control, give up, smoke a cigarette
  • 2: uncertainty- variety, surprise
  • 3: significance
  • 4: connection/love
  • needs of the spirit
  • 5: grow
  • 6: contribute beyond ourselves
  • human beings get excited to contribute once they get a chance to do something and not talk about it
  • strangers care
  • imagine if your beliefs guarantee you can never get to where you want to go for
  • 6000 words for emotions in the english language
  • some people always find a way to get pissed off
  • some people always find a way to get excited
  • explore your web of needs, emotions
