Interview with my two favourite people (Barack Obama & Will Smith). ♥
"Critical ingredients for any effort for peace is the ability to stand in your shoes, see through your eyes, to constantly imagine whats it like ... like, being a mother in Bangladesh right now...and if the waters were rising because of climate change. That kind of ability to imagine ourselves in different situations helps us connect with other people....
I dont want to simplify it, none of this is easy. What it does mean is for example, when wealthy countries think about foreign aide, thinking about it as an investment. This is a way so we dont have to send soldiers on a peace keeping mission because peace is already there. This is a way to make sure that we have new markets. Now that these folks bought a bicycle maybe now theyre ready to buy a car... constantly thinking about how to create opportunities for collaboration and cooperation. "
Tony Robbins is an inspirational speaker. His energy is incredible. I had the opportunity to see him live last year and...WOW.
Watch this video and be awed.
Some of his quotes from mindbodygreen.com 1. “Long ago, I realized that success leaves clues, and that people who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results. I believed that if I precisely duplicated the actions of others, I could reproduce the same quality of results that they had.”
2. “The first thing these people have who succeed, who are fulfilled, is that they’ve decided what the purpose of the game is, at least for right now.”
3. “If I’m committed, there is always a way.” (He also says, “If we can (generate) the right emotion inside of us, we can get ourselves to do anything. If you don’t have the money, but you’re creative and determined enough, you’ll find the way.”
4. “The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you’re going to be.”
5. “The past does not equal the future.” More: “Most people think, the past equals the future. Of course it does—if you live there!”
6. “Reasons come first. Answers come second.” In a recent interview Tony expanded on this, explaining, “If you find yourself saying 'I can't do something', but you know it in your heart of hearts that if you do it, you're going to grow, you're going to be a better person, it's going to contribute to your family or to your kids or to something that matters, and you keep saying 'I can't do it,' there is no question—you must do it. You don't discuss it anymore. You just take immediate action... You do what's necessary.”
7. “God’s wealth circulates in my life, it flows to me in avalanches of abundance. All my needs, desires and goals are met instantaneously, for I am one with God and he is everything!”
8. “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” And in his TED speech of 2006; “Decision is the ultimate power. Decisions shape destiny.”
9. “The simple reason that most people fail financially is not because of the lack of a plan, it’s not because of good advice, it’s not even because of a lack of capital. It is for one reason—they attach more pain to the idea of having money, than NOT having it.”
10. “Demand more from yourself than anyone else could ever expect.”
I've done a few hours in the wind tunnel Skyventure Montreal, as well as some in Arizona. It's wicked awesome!! I think I love wind tunnel and skydiving equally... they both excite me!
With thousands of dollars and lots of coaching, I look forward to being at this level...in a long time from now...
