How do beliefs influence you, how to get what you want, why ask the best questions? Changing one’s vocabulary, how do your values and rules determine your happiness? You will obtain the answers to all these questions.
Part 1 : Understanding your power
Without doubt the biggest part of the book. It takes you to the very heart of yourself, and shows you what determines your success. Or your failure. We find out that all we need to succeed is already inside us.
All I need is in me now ! — Anthony Robbins
Chapter 1: Dreams of destiny
This book starts with a story. His story. Like everyone, he also had dreams. He had dreams of change. And to find out how to effect real changes, long lasting changes, he sought out all the key elements of successful people, that has achieved these changes. This research showed him the commonalities shared by all successful people; success factors. Thus, he established 3 stages to reach success:
1. Raise your standards: For example, he made a list of everything he could no longer tolerate in his life.
2. Change those belief that limit you: Belief are “orders” that come from your subconscious. They influence each of your actions. If you want to reach your goals, your dreams have to be in sync with your belief.
3. Modify your strategy: The most important thing is to persevere, but if you want to reach your goals, you must adopt the best and most appropriate strategies. But you can also change them on the fly! If something isn’t working, change it!
Three steps to reach your goal is all very well but you will need to acquire certain qualities. And to obtain those, Anthony Robbins proposes he becomes your personal trainer via this book. He plans to get you to master 5 aspects of life:
1. Master your emotions,
2. Your body,
3. Your relationships,
4. The money,
5. And Master the time.
He is also very clear that:
Awaken The Giant Within is intended as a step guide, a manual designed to increase your quality of life and the satisfaction you can get from it.
You’ve understood it. Tony doesn’t do things by halves. He intends to get the best possible results, even without being physically present. But, it depends entirely upon you.
Chapter 2: Decisions: the power path
At the start of this chronicle I mentioned that his life changed the moment he decided to not tolerate certain things. It’s the moment you make your decision that determines your future! The day a smoker stops smoking is not the day he has his last cigarette, it is the day he decides to stop. What I want to illustrate is that this power, the power to decide, is already within you! As Tony puts it, making a real decision is about being determined to get a particular result and to refuse any other possibility. Then, this power can be worked on like a muscle, and you can train it. To make good decisions you must make as many as possible!
Even if you make mistakes; even if you encounter failure. Do you know any CEOs? They often make excellent decisions. Why? Because they spend all day making them. But in our world, the ones with money are the managers, those who make decisions. The rest take home the crumbs, in other words nothing. Decisions are essential to your success and this power resides in you! So, don’t hesitate, decide.
Chapter 3: The power that determines your life
Each of your actions is determined by one simple force. Even if you are not aware of it yet. This force? Pain and pleasure. My life, your life, lives all over the world are driven by this one force. We all seek pleasure and all seek to avoid short-term pain. Imagine this: you have the choice of two things, the first means you avoid a bit of short-term pleasure but will hurt you in the long term. The other means a bit of pain in the short-term but will deliver enormous pleasure in the long-term.
What would you choose? Intellectually, there is no competition: the second offer is surely perfect. But your brain doesn’t reason this way. It will default to the first option. Why? Because it will do everything it can to avoid short-term pain, even if in the long-term, it will cause even more pain. In fact we could go even further; it’s not pleasure and pain that rules in most people, rather the idea of pleasure and the fear of pain. Everything is question of reality perception. In this chapter, he teaches you to use this phenomenon through associations.
Chapter 4: The belief system, the power to create and destroy
What is a belief? It’s something we generalise, which becomes a feeling a certainty, which we do not question. For example, if you got bad grades in French when you were a teenager, you could have thought, “I’m rubbish at French”, and because we generalise, you’ve adopted it and never question this belief, even now. This belief crushes you, to the extent that you’ve stopped working on the subject, which only drives even worse grades. This is the power of belief. But it also works in reverse; a conviction such as “I’m good at French” can have positive effects, you might then work harder to get better grades, motivated by your previous results. In this chapter, Tony puts forward beliefs that are common amongst winners and helps you obtain them thanks to a very powerful calling-into-question technique.
