Great motivational speech from Tony Robbins. He explains why we fail and describes what the ultimate resource for success is.

Transcript :

"Who here's ever failed? And no one raised their hand in the whole fuckin' room. So I pause and I said, I know you're out there, I can hear your hearts beating. Who here has ever failed? And I demanded an answer and then a few people raised their hand. I said, who here's ever failed? And now they all started complying. So I said great, when you failed, why did you fail? And they said all the things you said. Didn't have enough time. Didn't have the right technology. Didn't have the money. Didn't have the contacts. You know, had the wrong people. The people said we had the wrong leader, right? And then this voice in the darkness, the whole room was pitch black, says I didn't have enough Supreme Court Justices. And I looked down and it's Vice President, Al Gore. Who you probably don't know much about American politics, but he and Bush Jr., they tied basically. It had to go to a Supreme Court to decide who's gonna be it and he lost. And when he said that we were in northern California, which is all Democrats, would've been supporters of his, they all stood up and gave him a standing ovation when he said this. So when they stopped the standing ovation I said, that's one way to try to explain why you didn't become President of the United States. But I wouldn't say it's an accurate one. And there was this pause, like what the fuck is he about to say? And I said, 'cause let's just do this logically. Everything you people have told me, I didn't have the technology, I didn't have the right contacts, I didn't have the time, I didn't have money. Everything you've told me, I didn't have enough Supreme Court Justices, those are resources. And so you're telling me, I failed 'cause I didn't have the resources. And I'm here to tell you what you already know. Resources are never the problem, it's a lack of resourcefulness is why you failed. Because the ultimate resources are emotional states. Creativity, decisiveness, passion, honesty, sincerity, love, these are the ultimate human resources. And when you engage these resources you can get any other resource on earth. Resourcefulness is the ultimate resource. And if you don't have what you want, stop telling yourself a story because you don't have the money, you don't have the time, that's bullshit. It's because you haven't committed yourself where you would burn your boats. If you want to take the fuckin' island, burn your fuckin' boats and you will take the island. 'Cause people when they're gonna either die or succeed, tend to succeed."- Tony Robbins

TED Talks: ‘Tony Robbins: Why We Do What We Do’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpc-t-Uwv1I

Tony Robbins has gotten a lot of phone calls over the years. When people call seeking his help, the reasons can range from the stress of professional sports to defeating the inner dialogue that feeds suicidal thoughts. Robbins says in order to help people, he has to have an understanding of human needs—and what allows people to do big things and contribute beyond themselves .

For the last 30 years, he has been obsessed with answering an important question: What enhances the quality of life—and how can a person’s performance make the difference? In this TED Talk, Robbins gives the answer in the form of what he calls the six human needs.

“I look at life and say, ‘There”s two master lessons,’ ” he says. “One is, there”s the science of achievement, which almost everyone here has mastered amazingly. How do you take the invisible and make it visible, how do you make your dreams happen? Your business, your contribution to society, money—whatever…. The other lesson that is rarely mastered is the art of fulfillment.”

It all boils down to decisions. Robbins says people have to know what they want. It’s more than just goals and desires, because most people aren’t satisfied with achieving just one thing.

“It”s [the] needs we have,” he says. “I believe there are six human needs…. Once you know what the target that”s driving you is and you uncover it for the truth—you don”t form it—then you find out what”s your map, what”s the belief systems that tell you how to get those needs. Some people think the way to get them is to destroy the world, some people to build, create something, love someone. There”s the fuel you pick.”

The six human needs aren’t used equally. All six are needed, but Robbins says what a person chooses to give the most attention, to lead with, is what pulls them in a certain direction . Of the six, he says everyone finds a way to meet at least four: certainty, the sense of variety found in uncertainty, significance, and connection or love. These needs are good for the personality, but the remaining two—growth and giving—are for the spirit. Above all, they lead to true fulfillment.

“I believe the reason we grow is so we have something to give of value,” he says. “Because the sixth need is to contribute beyond ourselves. Because we all know, corny as that sounds, the secret to living is giving. We all know life is not about me, it”s about we . This culture knows that, this room knows that. It”s exciting.”

TRANSCRIPT: 

Tony Robbins – Life success coach

Thank you. I have to tell you I’m both challenged and excited.

My excitement is: I get a chance to give something back. My challenge is: the shortest seminar I usually do is 50 hours. I’m not exaggerating. I do weekends, and what I do — I do even more than that, obviously, coach people — but I’m into immersion.

Because how did you learn language? You didn’t learn it by just learning principles, you got in it and you did it so often that it became real.

And the bottom line of why I’m here, besides being a crazy mofo, is that I’m really in a position — I’m not here to motivate you, obviously; you don’t need that. And a lot of times that’s what people think I do, and it’s the furthest thing from it.

What happens, though, is people say to me, “I don’t need any motivation.” And I say, “Well, that’s interesting. That’s not what I do.” I’m the “Why” guy. I want to know why you do what you do.

What is your motive for action? What is it that drives you in your life today? Not 10 years ago. Or are you running the same pattern? Because I believe that the invisible force of internal drive, activated, is the most important thing in the world.

The Will To Win – The Speech That Motivated Tony Robbins.

• The Andreia Philosophy
• September 8, 2023

Tony Robbins is the definition of having The Will To Win.

Most people, in his same circumstances, would say things to themselves like:

“ My life is terrible. Why is this happening to me?”

“ Why hasn’t God given me more? Haven’t I done enough to deserve a better life?”

“ What’s the point in trying? I could never be great at anything. MY LIFE is too hard. You wouldn’t understand.”

Tony Robbins is different than most people.

He had a goal to change lives . There was no room for compromise. He wiped away all excuses, distractions, and turned from negativity.

Tony embraced positivity. Like the sun revealing itself behind years of storms and cloudy weather.

Tony understands something many don’t.

You control your mind. So, you control your experience.

You have the right to complain. You also have the right to win. If you’re willing to culminate  The Will To Win, you can do anything.

Most of us give up at the first sign of difficulty. We are pioneers, chasing the greatest version of ourselves . Until pioneering is no longer convenient, glamorous, or easy.

Ask yourself this: When was the last time something easy,  ever had an impact on your life?

Tony never gave up. He was never “ realistic ” with his goals-the reason why he lives a life that seems impossible to so many of us. He visualized what he wanted from his life and pursued that vision until he got it. He would pursue it until he died, which is why he achieved it. But achieving your goal is not the point, being on the path is. Being on the path IS “the will”.

The Will To Win Speech didn’t motivate Tony Robbins.

The will to win speech awoke the will to win sleeping dormant within him,  within you. 

He created a goal, then made it crystal clear in his mind. Tony needed his goal to have as much clarity as possible: no second guessing goals.

  All he needed to do was follow the map he created. You are the navigator of your own destiny, the wind in the sails. Some of us let that wind die out long ago. So we don’t move.

We stay in jobs we hate.

We stay in toxic relationships.

We’re satisfied with being a doormat for the world.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Others chased goals like Tony’s and gave up. He continued in the face of adversity and kept going until adversity broke. Tony wasn’t going to break. He would die first. If you really want something, you need to throw yourself at it.

His desire to achieve what he knew in his mind he deserved superseded pain & suffering.

Have you ever wanted something this bad?

Tony Says Your Story Is Your Ultimate Tool.

He’s right.

Everything bad that’s ever happened to you is your fault.

This is a good thing.  This is beautiful. It means you’re in control of your life, and not a victim of the world and your environment.

Victims stay prisoner to their own self-pity. Winners take their losses as lessons. They know they aren’t defeated when the fail, only when they give up. 

Winners believe losses are lessons, and quitters are losers. Reframe your mind in the same manner, and watch how your world changes.

This means everything good that’s ever happened to you is your fault; your destiny is clay waiting to be manipulated.

The Will To Win Speech

By Vince Lombardi

Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that’s first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he’s got to play from the ground up – from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That’s O.K. You’ve got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you’re lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second.

Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization – an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win – to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don’t think it is.

It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That’s why they are there – to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules – but to win.

And in truth, I’ve never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

I don’t say these things because I believe in the “brute” nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.

Is The Vince Lombardi Will To Win Speech Correct?

Many have stated that the correct speech is The Will To Win by Berton Braley. You can read that speech here.

To confirm which speech was the correct version, I reached out to Tony Robbin’s team. They confirmed Vince Lombardi wrote the speech. Not Berton Braley.

Below is a link to a screenshot from the Tony Robbin’s team confirming the speech.

I grew up being abused by men an women, I grew up in self deception, drug addiction, lived a gay life cause I was afraid and I was badly damaged. I got clean and sober in 1992. A few years later my friend attended a personal power workshop. He bought all of the programs. He never followed up with it, but he gave me, the poor broken hustler the 30 day personal power program. It took me months to get through that 30 days. I went from $8 an hour, washing used appliances in the rain to a salesman, sales manager to a car salesman to my current finance manager position. I just didn’t want to be poor, I had gone through to much to be poor. My biggest achievement was when a beautiful, broken woman came into my life. In a single moment she swept me off my feet. I ended my toxic relationship and discovered what it felt like to be true to myself. The stick finally forced me to grab the carrot and I did with gusto. It all started with the first 30 days. Now I have achieved so much, lived longer than I ever thought I would. Now at 49 years old I feel like I think I should have felt when I was 30 years old. Tony warned me about one day waking up and asking myself “is this all there is”? Tha Is has come true twice in my life, once 6 years ago when I met my wife and the other just now, in this recent few weeks. Good news I am still young and blessed with good health, unfortunately I don’t have a “why”! I have achieved so much from who I was and who I have become, but compared to many others I have not achieved much in the way of wealth. I feel lost again, happy with many many blessings, but I want more, but I don’t know what that more is. I want freedom and that takes money. I feel like the air conditioners are on and cooling me down cause I am getting hot and out of my comfort zone. I have reprogrammed myself from 20 grand a year to 198k last year. My best year ever and when I figured out that I could push past 200 grand I started sabatoging my success by negatively reacting to events. I need to find a way past this false ceiling that I have placed on myself. Sales situations that were easy for me last year are defeating me this year. So here I am again searching for guidance turning to self help to find that,answers that will propel me to the next level. With God’s blessings He will open a door that will lead to the freedom I am seeking!

I am not motivated, I made a decision before my old self died, which was to live my life to the fullest. I then just away from the 30meter high bridge, signed up at the gym, went home and installed my blog in 2 minutes on WordPress and threw the cigarettes into the trashcan.

The goal? Millionaire.

I was given Tony’s “30 day personal power” tapes by someone in college who didn’t want them.. I learned so many key principles that have shaped my life. He’s the real deal. In the next year I want to go to his Date with Destiny. The principles I learned inspired me to start a charity who uses horses helps children who grew up in an addicted home. We’ve had hundred of kids go through in the last eight years. The specific principles that helped me were 1) don’t reinvent the wheel 2) the rocking chair test 3) visualizing where I want to be 4) the what and how don’t matter if the why is important enough.

Thanks for sharing. Tony’s word touches the life of millions every day. I’m so happy you’re one of them.

I’m Fucking Unstoppable!!!

Tony Robbins’ speech on the will to win is truly inspiring. His ability to shift perspectives and help people see that they have the power to change their lives is remarkable. I found myself nodding along with every word, feeling a renewed sense of purpose and determination. His message is a reminder that success is not just about achieving goals, but about living a life that fulfills our deepest desires and passions. Thank you for sharing this powerful speech!
