join the Tony Robbins cult with me for one day and secretly enjoy it...(+023)
I swear...if we have to get up and dance at any point of this…oh-yup…dammit…okay this is actually pretty cool.
1.) The guy on zoom leading us in energetic exercises is wearing (his description) “FUN SOCKS”
Dancing on zoom. with the boomers. I have a job. I have productive things to do today.
IM SMARTER THAN THESE PEOPLE.
Stupid dancing positive manifestation people. Brain dead Multilevelmarketing NPCs
But you’re here Nick…
Strange.
why are you here?
it occurs to you that it might be fun to write about sure…surrrrreeee…
But maybe you really want to change too…
maybe.
Just maybe.
2.) I have to admit i actually like Tony Robbins…man you have to watch this Netflix doc: I AM NOT YOUR GURU.
What an incredible case study.
of what? Miracles?
MIRACLES?!?!?!
Of what nick.
Someone like tony becomes so popular that all you know about him is the bad things. He’s so successful it seems impossible. It seems fake. Inaccessible.
I saw the IM NOT YOUR GURU documentary and was fascinated. You know why?
Because Tony can get you to change.
I mean look at that guy ^ a venerable saint.
He’s a shaman.
He helps you alter your consciousness to glean insight.
Tony is like the original influencer.
Tony’s the #1 guy.
#1 business coach in the world. Demonstrably.
AND COACHING THE WORLDS GREATEST ATHLETES.
YOUVE GOTTA SEE HIS DAMN RESUME.
of people he’s helped changed.
it’s endlesss.
it’s unparalleled.
What makes a person like that?
3.) WHAT MAKES A PERSON LIKE THAT: SUFFERING & THEN TRIUMPH!
Tony came from nothing.
He had no food for thanksgiving when he was a boy. He remembers this.
Someone came to the door with food for their family. Some random man in the neighborhood brought all theses groceries.
He said it made him so happy.
But his father tried to throw it in the guy’s face.
They finally accepted it.
He said what day i’ll grow up to feed families.
he’s fed a billion families by today.
The first self improvement seminar Tony Ever went to he borrow 10,000 dollars. He begged a bank. He begged a woman who worked at the bank.
He promised to do anything.
An older lady cosigned on the load with him.
he poored himself out.
he slept in his car.
He gave everything, to try and climb out of hell.
