"Notes From A Friend"
By Tony Robbins
-The power within you can change anything in your life literally in a matter of moments. All you must do is unleash it.
-Positive thinking alone is not enough to turn your life around. You must have some strategies, some step by step plans for changing how you think, how you feel, and what you do every single day.
-The only thing that's necessary to make this work for you right now is to begin to believe that it is possible to change. The past does'nt matter. Whatever has'nt worked in the past has nothing to do with what you'll do today. What you do right now is what will shape your destiny.
-"I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Thomas Edison
-The key to success is to decide what's most important to you and then take massive action each day to make it better, even when it does'nt look as if it's working.
-Personal power means being persistent in taking action; every time you do something, you learn from it, and you find a way to do it better next time.
-Colonel Sanders was refused 1,009 times before he heard his first yes.
-No problem is permanent. No problem affects my entire life. This too shall pass if I continue to take massive, positive, constructive action.
-Massive, consistent action with pure persistence and a sense of flexibility in pursuing your goals will ultimately give you what you want, but you must abandon any sense that there is no solution.
- We all have problems, disappointments and frustrations, but it's how we deal with our setbacks that will shape our lives more than anything else we do.
-The power of decision is the power of change.
-Ultimately, it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.
-"He never let problems or circumstances get in his way. He decided that there is always a way to succeed if you're really committed." Soichiro Honda
-The only way to change your life is to make a real decision.
-There are no failures in life. As long as I learn anything from something, then I've succeeded.
-"Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe." St Augustine
-You can choose what to believe about yourself, and these beliefs will determine the actions you take.
-Whatever you focus on, at any point in time,will be what's real to you. Your reality, or your perception of reality.
-The reality is that whatever you focus on you move toward. Focus on where you want to go.
-Whatever you think about most you'll experience.
-Ask yourself empowering questions.
-"Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
-We all must realize that emotion is created by motion.
-The harder you prepare, the luckier you seem to get.
-The reason we set goals is to give our lives focus and to move us in the direction we would like to go.
-Winning starts with beginning.
-Before something happens in the world, it must first happen in your mind.
-Whenever you set a goal, take immediate action to support it.
-Starting right now, decide to use all the tools in this book so that you will not dwell on any rotten thoughts or emotions for the next ten days.
Interesting fact about Tony Robbins: "Robbins started his career promoting seminars for Jim Rohn, and then started teaching neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) after learning it from NLP co-founder John Grinder. Grinder encouraged Anthony Robbins to look into the firewalking experience. In 1983, Robbins located Tolly Burkan and learned how to firewalk from him.[7] Robbins then added firewalking to his seminars, which enabled him to gain media coverage and launch his celebrity status."

Provides free summaries and key concepts of self help, motivational and inspirational books.
Self Help Summaries
Every time I've read a good self help, motivational or inspirational book I've always jotted down the important concepts and ideas for a quick review later on. This way I don't have to read the entire book again, but can just refer to my notes for the main key ideas, thus my Self Help Summaries blog was created. I'm not necessarily an obsessed avid reader, but I have read my share of self improvement books over the course of time. This blog is just a reflection of the works that I have read and found useful to me in my life. I've always thought that whatever book, video or seminar that I was attending was worth my time if I could learn just one practical thing to apply to my life. My hope is that any person reading this will find at least one concept to apply and help them with their lives. Enjoy!
