#889 - Tony Robbins - How To Build An Extraordinary Life

I think it's important to realize wherever focus goes, energy flows ... We don't experience life. None of us do. We experience the life we focus on.

You get rewarded in public for what you practice in private.

Self-esteem is earned. It's only earned by you with yourself. You're not going to get self-esteem because everybody praises you.

I think, the most important thing for self-esteem is to find something you care about more than yourself.

The two emotions that destroy your relationship, your business, your life—it's fear and anger. Those are two extremes. You can't be grateful and fearful simultaneously; you can be angry and grateful simultaneously.

We all have a pattern of focusing on what we have and a pattern of what's missing. Which one do you think most people spend more time focusing on, what they have or what's missing?

One of the core beliefs that developed over the years was just that I think everything happens for a reason. I think there's a higher purpose. I think it's my job to find it. I think that life happens for us, not to us, but it's our job to figure it out.

I don't think it's bad to be hard on yourself as long as you also celebrate when the victories happen.

If you don't have 10 minutes for your life, you don't have a life.
