Q:
What was it that provided that Divine spark which enabled you to
turn your life around 20 years ago?
A
(Tony): Honestly, it was someone else caring about me and my
family. When I was 11 years old on Thanksgiving day, my family had
no money and no food. And a stranger came to the door and
delivered an entire Thanksgiving feast. It completely changed my
perspective, it made me believer that strangers care. And I
promised that someday I would do the same for others. Now our
graduates around the world feed people year round. Giving back as
I did. I started when I was 18 yeas old feeding two families. Now
as I said earlier, we're reaching more than a million.

One
final note I'd like to mention, and that the
single most important thing
that effects our lives is who we spend time with. Who we spend
time with is who we become. Basically we in our lives become one
of two types of people. A person who creates and a person who
destroys. It's easier to destroy than it is to create. It is
easier to tear down than it is to build up. What takes years to
build can be burned down in minuets. But the joy one can have in
destroying something temporary, because you know you are not a
creator, you're not adding value, and your life reflects it.
You
can spend your life building anything, people, your children, a
garden, a song, a painting, an enterprise. There will be ups and
downs, you will grow and have the fulfillment that comes from
sincere contribution, nothing can match that. So be careful. Your
best friend by accident can drop one drop of strychnine in your
coffee and you're dead. My original teacher Jim Ron thought me
that those you love can hurt you without even meaning to.
Seek
those people who are living life at the highest level. And your
life will change. If you want to play tennis, you don't play with
someone worse than you are. You find someone better and you have
to rise just to be in their presence. One last thing. remember
that proximity is power. If you want to be dancer an you are
living in Iowa, it's going to be hard to be the best. Take action
and surround yourself with people who are playing at the level you
want to play. Often talented people never achieve their goals,
because they put themselves in an environment where their skills
can't be maximized. Even a great sprinter can't succeed if he
races in mud. Go where the action is for what it is you are
focusing on. If it's farming town, if it's media, go to a media
location. Go where it is happening and the resources you need will
appear. I wish you all the best of luck and look forward to seeing
you at our chats in Dream life. Live in passion! Tony Robbins!
