Anthony Robbins – Is He A Legitimate Personal Development Guru?
Don’t you find it annoying when a person like Anthony Robbins tries to give you advice on how to improve your life? I have been seeing this so called guru on TV for over 20 years talking about his programs and seminars. Honestly, I thought he was one of the most irritating self-help gurus around today.
I then began to think that perhaps some of his teachings were worth a shred of truth. Therefore, I began to learn more about all the facts and the notable truths about this famous self-help expert. I have always found it curious that individuals can be well off telling everyone what to do in order to do well off too.
I got tickets for one of his seminars in Chicago, Illinois sometime ago and was immediately struck by the amount of individuals that went to listen. When I was in an apprehensive state, all I could think of was, “yikes! What a group of fools.” When he came to the stage, the entire crowd rose to its feet in thunderous applause for about 5 minutes.
The good news was, he didn’t waste any time getting to the point. He explained his normal question about, “Why do people do the things they do?” Tony covered probably 15 different subjects throughout the time of the seminar, but there was one that really changed the landscape of my thought process.
The talk that hit home with me was about health. Throughout the years, I have let my health go due to life’s various stresses. No matter if it is bills, relationships, work, no vacations, or anything else contributing to self-doubt, fatigue and a loss of drive. He told us that the rest was insignificant if we did not have good health.
This discussion alone was enough to attract my interest to find out more and buy one of Tony Robbins‘s programs. What I quickly discovered was that it did not only go over some of the areas he talked about in the seminar, however things on almost every topic. I saw many videos about modeling yourself on other successful people, which he called “The Triad,” self-belief, and many other topics.
To determine if something like this is for you very much depends on the way you think. If you are open to make a change for the good, then it is certainly worth examining more. However, if you were in the same mindset as me a couple of years ago and considered all this self-help stuff was for the birds, then continue what you are doing. Just do not whine on how things pan out, because as Anthony Robbins says, “You have a choice, and it shapes your destiny.”
This is the simplest way to turn lemons into lemonade as the saying goes. I never thought I would do a complete turn around in my life. I now run 5 miles three times a week, I have a lot more energy to have fun with my children, and live a life of happiness that my family and I always desired.
Look, I am not a millionaire or something; however, I am glad with what I was able to learn. I feel I owe alot of it to Tony Robbins, and my suspicious curiosity to go and see his seminar. Overall, I would recommend his self-help guidance to anyone.
