I thought what if I look at this differently what if I look at what have
I done in my life during my most difficult times And this might be useful
for you two to kind of look at your own life and say when I was in the toughest
times I was able to pull myself through how do they do it what were some of the
elements that made the biggest difference in your life
when you did those turnarounds when you made it through whatever was your
toughest times the first thing I believe you got to do to turn yourself around is
really take control of your mind or specifically you got to feed and
strengthen the mind the mind is an interesting place isn't it I mean fear
can take us over uncertainty kind of unleashes all these thoughts that make
us start to believe very often that things will always be bad that we'll
never be able to turn it around or that we don't have the capability it's just
the nature of those inner voices that everybody feels at times now maybe
you're not feeling it right now but I'm sure there are times at half so to take
control of your focus what do you do well then I was told all sudden I had a
tumor or a way back when when I'm on my own trying to figure out what to do I
realized that somehow to take control of my mind how to feed it that if I didn't
feed my mind I'd you know I'll be living on the weeds that came around me I mean
today if all you do is you know pick up your phone you've got all kinds of
messages that are gonna get your full attention or flip on Google and check
out the news or watch CNN or whatever it is you do it's constantly coming at us
one of my first teacher Jim Rohn taught me something years ago he's a Toney
every day you got to stand guard at the door of your mind he said you know I'll
give you a good lesson he said think about this what if your worst enemy in
the whole world came and dropped some sugar in your coffees and what would
happen to you I was just a seventeen year old kid just getting started and I
said what do you mean I'd have sweet sugar he said that's right he said what
if your best friend with the best intention in the world drop one drop of
strychnine in your coffee I said I'd be dead because that's right so remember
life is both sugar and strychnine and you better stand guard at your coffee
stand guard at the door of your mind because things feed in there and you
start to accept them they start to become beliefs you start to make up
meanings to take over your life my fastest way of combating that when I was
first brand new you know trying to figure out what to do with my
life was to read and I was poor I was literally sleeping in my car so I'm
ain't you enough to remember when there wasn't to internet and when I would go
to the library and I'll go to that library and my whole ball was feed the
mine feed the mine for at least an hour minimum a day and sometimes more than
that where I would read somebody's biography I read the story of somebody
who went to seven unbelievably difficult time and how they turn it around and it
gave me perspective or I read a book like as a man thinketh if you haven't
read it it's worth reading again and again you can read the book in about 20
minutes or I'd read man's search for meaning where all of a sudden Viktor
Frankl a man who is literally living at that time and ash wit's losing all of
his family and he figured out how to make it through that time and add value
these stories these things fed my mind something nutritious something strong if
we are what we eat we are what we read we are what we listen to
later on I think I to feed my mind you know about understanding ideas around
health principles and how people have turned themselves around without tumors
or had cancer I did the same thing most of my life starting on a 17 by listening
to audio tapes I went out that was constantly feeding my mind I didn't let
or hope that a good I'm a good idea whatever you know interrupt me or
interject itself up on me I knew a great idea how to be pursued I had to go after
it I had a feed and strength in my mind every single day so I did with audio
tapes I did it with books and I did it by literally doing incantations
saying to myself something over and over again with such intensity to my mind
began to believe it so reading listening feeding your mind
is the first step to get out of that place of uncertainty and start to recap
into your real ability to thrive in any environment
what's the second key while number two is you got to feed and strengthen your
body as simple as that sounds if you've been around any of my work at all you
know I believe physiology first but sometimes even try to feed your mind you
can feed it but those thoughts keep coming back what's gonna change that
mind faster anything else it's a radical change in your body a radical shift in
your physiology how do you do it well think about this when times are really
uncertain fear creeps in what is fear fear is something quite
physical it takes a hold of you when it's really there and intense we've all
had that gut level fear that dark night of the soul at times or it feels like
you know nothing's gonna work so how do you turn it around yeah you feed your
mind but you also strengthen that body when's the last time you really pushed
yourself you went on a run a slight jog or walk but at the end you pushed
yourself of that last two minutes five minutes whatever it was - you felt like
your heart was pumping up I'm gonna spit out blood where there was an intensity
in you I know I sound over the top but that's what I turned myself around
way back then when I was literally just starting my journey I was 38 pounds
heavier than I am now and I start to feed my mind but it wasn't enough I had
to really feed my body and the way I did is I decided to go on this run I picked
up you know these in those days I had cassette tapes and then that's how
ancient I am sorry of time there was a time before you know iPods or anything
of that nature I listened to this song this cassette
tape was by this group and it was a female group called heart and saw was
Barracuda never forget and I went out there and I decided to go on a run man
run for god only knows how long you know years and I've nice big fat belly but I
gotta push myself so hard like I had nothing left I pushed myself even more
and when that blood started rushing in me when that was pumping in my brain in
my body or go out and lift weights go and push yourself and feel yourself have
to force through whatever was your limitation before when that gets inside
you that physical strength again that sense of breaking through every part of
you starts to operate differently your body changes so does your mind what's
the third cake well that third step is you got to get a
role model that inspires you and really shows you the way one of the biggest
things that will change you once you're mentally and physically strong is you
need to believe you need to not just have a sense of certainty but you have
to believe that there is a pathway to get to where you want to be whatever it
is you want to change whether it be your body your mind your emotions your
finances your relationship you need a role model so for example last October I
realize I only had a few minutes to be on television how do I get these people
that think they've lost their nest and it'll never come back to not just
think I'm being positive but show them a real example that's what a role model s
is I should say it's a real example so I thought well the best example is just
show them history so at that time you know the interviewed me and they said
well many stocks have gone from $80.00 and the last few months they're down to
$8 I said well let me tell you the good news and the bad news some of those $8
stocks are gonna be $5 or 2 or $1 many of their gonna go to 75 cents and you
know people were hold back and saying well that's not very positive I said
well here's what's positive if you study the patterns of history if you look back
to what happen in the 1930s if you see what happened in the 1970s during that
time as well when the market went through this huge
crash in the depression or in the 70s there was a period of time not not long
afterwards when there was this big growth an $8 stock that went down to $1
or 75 cents didn't make it back to $80 right away that took decades but a 75
cent stock had been $80 or 50 or 60 would go from 75 cents to $5 literally
in a month or two or three it's happened twice before it's happened during this
same pattern there's a role model for this that means you would go from 75
cents to five dollars that's a 2,000 percent increase that's a greater return
than most investors will see over their entire lifetime it could happen to two
or three months you can make it back now I said but I don't know if now is the
time to jump in I just know that time is coming you gotta study it and then you
know I told investors look at Sir John Templeton he just passed away a few
months before I fortune enough to know him you don't know the name is one of
the greatest investors in history and he became an investor a billionaire I
should say by being an investor he started with $10,000 how do you do that
he did it because he believed you make all your money at times of maximum
pessimism that was his role model in 1939 the depression is going on Hitler
invades Poland and he's in a place where all heck is breaking loose and he took
his ten thousand dollars he invested and all he could in the stock market bought
stocks that cost a dollar many of these stocks were near bankruptcy but what do
you think happened after or things got back to normal the season
always comes back he became a billionaire from those investments he
invested in Japan when no one would invest in Japan because no role model
would do that there they just got bombed the country's down
to mud and dirt he bought things for pennies that grew and he sold them for a
huge profit if you're looking to make your business successful today you're
trying to think how do I do this in this tight economy look around role models
who around you is still doing well there are people you just gotta find them look
at Zappos topless is a company that only a few years ago was sitting around in a
garage and in this economy they're thriving selling shoes they're gonna do
a billion dollars this year or better yet if you're just feeling like you lost
your job you know you've lost your home you lost your income your nest egg or
you fils it facing just unbelievable challenge then look at somebody like a
Nick V if you don't know I'm talking about go to my blog and watch a video of
him now I'm shortening his name is very hard to pronounce his name I'll be
respectful but I've got his whole story there you can watch it here's a guy that
was born with no arms and no legs we literally can't dress himself can't mood
can't feed himself he wanted to die he was totally depressed and then one
day he figured out a different way of looking at life he somehow began to
strengthen his mind and body and he got a different role model what was possible
inside of himself and now he inspires people all over the world little kids
who think they have a big problem adults who think they have a big problem meet
here my god how does he even make a phone call you know and you'll see him
do it he's got let's one little web foot please go see it he'll be inspired we
all need contrast sometimes not only role models of how to get it done and be
successful but role models how to deal with our problems and our challenges so
get a role model that'll inspire you and show you the way and the fourth key now
is you've got to get a proven plan and you got to take massive action don't
even worry about a proven plan there are lots of role models hopefully they'll
prove it to you but get a plan do something I tell people all the time you
just got remember the power of massive action so
often in life people don't begin the journey because they're not quite sure
what to do or how to do it right or how to do it perfect you want to change your
body get yourself moving don't wait for the perfect trainer just bill it up here
move put on your shoes and move and get momentum
just remember progress equals happiness if you can start to make progress and
you get yourself going it's not perfect if it doesn't work you know what they do
just change your approach that doesn't work change your approach but if there's
anything that shift your life that'll get you to thrive in a difficult
situation is take some massive action try something else change it try it and
move it I want a lot on this but respectful to your time so let me give
you the final key number five the five I think is the most important also just to
remind you first thing you got to do is be and strengthen that mind read lesson
feed the mind take control of that cloak is stand guard or what other people are
saying focus on what it is you're here to give what you can control what you
can make happen number two feed and strengthen that body
remember fear uncertainty different physical experiences so the best way to
deal with something physical is get physical change that body goal if some
weights go for that run do something that's gonna get you in that state if
you've been to our seminars you know exactly what to do but get that our
power going that 15 minutes to thrive if you're familiar with that to train your
body and mind to be strong again number three make sure you put yourself in that
position when you find a role model it's gonna inspire you and show you that way
maybe it's a contrasting role model you think your life's so tough find somebody
with tougher look who's really turned it around or maybe it's just somebody who's
really succeeded but you can now see there is a way there's a way through
there's a way to make this happen even in the toughest times there's always a
way for make sure you get yourself into action get a plan take massive action
and the number five most importantly of all of them feed your spirit feed and
strengthen your spirit and there's only one way to do that it's to find what
you're grateful for and to take time whether it be prayer for you or just
take in a moment to think about what is it so lucky in life there's there's a
rejuvenation in our spirit when we stop taking things for granted
most importantly what feed your spirit is to give to find a way to do something
for someone else who's worse off than you are because what is this all about
it's about strength and it's about perspective it's about action it's about
emotion and it's about heart and so many people you know miss the opportunity to
feel like their life makes a difference I'm a big believer that motive does
matter that why you do something people can feel that people may be skeptical
they may have their judgments or their fears because they've been through so
much but and my experience ultimately why you're doing something people feed
on if you're doing this because some part of you knows that you're here in
life not just to get but to give then there's a spark that happens of other
people cuz they feel the genuineness of that and there's a spark that happens
and you cuz it reminds you what you're made for and you know I'm telling you
this now and I shared this with you because I want to give you some tools
but also because I want to invite you to participate in something Thanksgiving is
coming and it's supposed to be a time of giving thanks right
but unfortunately for a lot of people what we're finding is it's just about
eating turkey or you know in so much go and watching the ballgame and forgetting
what the spirit of holidays really about many of you who know me probably know
the story what's happened in my life why I'm sharing this with you right now
because when I was 11 years old my family and young brother and sister I'm
the oldest and my father and my mother we were to position where my father lost
his job we had no money and no food and we wouldn't a star but certainly we're
gonna have a Thanksgiving dinner that's for sure and it was depressing and my
father was saying things to my mother and mother was saying things to my
father that you know you never forget and you can never take back and we were
in this psychological emotional hole and it felt like nothing could get better
and what changed my life was a simple act of kindness to somebody who to this
day and Marshall even thinking about still so why I want to talk to you today
to the stand on who it was but they decided our newer family I guess and
they sent a guy a delivery guy Commodore and you know my parents were
fighting so I answered the door and there was this tall man standing on this
big box of food everything we could imagine for this holiday and beside him
on the ground was this black pan with an uncooked turkey in it he said is your
father here and that's it just one moment
now I quickly went over and grabbed my dad and didn't tell him who was at the
door just said you got to answer he got to answer it and open the door and and
unfortunately my father didn't take in the gift he was angry so you know we
don't accept charity was very intense about it and it was a it was a seminal
experience in my life because I wanted to celebrate and ultimately became a
celebration for the rest of my family but my father didn't take in the fact
that strangers can carry that strangers could really look out for you that there
could be an opportunity for you to take in a gift in life and my father shortly
after that experience left our family it was one of the more intense moments of
my life but the beauty that came out of that event is the reason why I'm here
right now I'm not just talking to you and this conversation you're on the
internet but the reason I do what I do is because I was penetrated by this
kindness because the meaning I gave it was that strangers care they're
strangers care about me that I care about strangers I gotta find a way to
give back I promised I find a way to do that and so by the time I was 17 years
old I figured how to do it I wasn't real successful yet as you might guess but I
said I was gonna feed two families and I went to the grocery store and I got two
baskets and I went around and put enough food you know for two different families
to have this incredible dinner and I started the journey and I began by
feeding a family with five kids who had no clue but the father had left and it
was it was destiny for me next year I decided it was so moving and emotional I
was gonna feed four families and I didn't tell anybody
and the next year eight because I wasn't doing it for the stars on my chart but
eventually eventually I thought God I could use some help so I got my friends
involved and gradually through some of my small companies and my employees got
involved and really the power to tell you that you know 30 plus years later
today we're in a situation now where through
the foundation together with people like yourself we feed more than three million
people last year in 32 countries so my final kind of offering to you my
invitation is come join me let's go out and touch some souls let's go out on
Thanksgiving and let's see if we get his touch if it doesn't take I don't want
your money I mean welcome to send some money the foundation if you want but
that's not what this is about what I really wanted you to have the experience
of reach on touching a stranger for no good reason except that's right cuz I
know what that'll do to your spirit if you're successful it's gonna make you
feel something more than success it'll give your life more meaning if you're
facing some real challenges and you enter a place like when I went down to
South Bronx I've ever forgotten you know entering a place that no electricity
where people were literally starving or a man who was literally on the streets
and we brought him this big basket it was beautiful and getting blankets and
socks and food and I literally jumped out of the van I was with this amazing
man from the Salvation Army I was driving around and jumped out and handed
this big basket to this huge basket for this man and I mean first he just looked
shocked then he started to get this big smile then he got teary-eyed when I was
leaving there was this moment that you never forget you can do this you can do
this by yourself you can do this with couple family members you can just do
two baskets of food where it feels like a gift where it's not a handout like my
father expected but really a gift where it feels like a present something
special and if all you do is go to Anthony Robbins foundation org Matthew
Robbins foundation.org you can put yourself in and say I'd like to be a
coordinator for a basket brigade even if it's just you and they'll send you a
little booklet how to do it we have a little book called notes for a friend
which is this tiny little book I wrote that show somebody how to turn their
life around you can give that or you can just get food or you could do this with
your family you could do this with your company and get that spirit back inside
your company with the employees and you do it really easily or all over the
country and all over the world we have large basket brigades where people come
together and you could join a group that's going to do this so this is my
invitation I sent this video to you to hopefully during the holidays hopefully
add some value to remind you and what I know you know
can thrive no matter what the obstacle no matter what the economy no matter
what the challenge the fundamentals are really basic and you can take that
control of your life and if you're doing well it's to say to you man you and I if
we're doing well we have responsibilities give something back
not only responsibility but our opportunity so thanks for listening for
so long Elizabeth I'll leave sorry I'm emotional but it doesn't matter how many
decades I've been a part of this there are people out there suffering people
out there that you could touch and I'm one of those people that got touched I'm
here because of it and I think I've been able to help lots of people in my life
because of those challenges and because of someone caring and I know you care
too or you were still wouldn't be watching this crazy video so thank you
for watching and please go to FB Robin's Foundation org and join me in the basket
brigade or do something to make this Thanksgiving different or more
meaningful and I hope this has been helpful to you in your life in some way
and again I appreciate your time and I look forward hopefully our paths cross
again sometime soon till then live strong live with passion and god bless
you
you
