The first thing to understand is that people see the world through their aim.

Anyone can deal with a difficult today if they have a compelling tomorrow.

If you leave your zone of comfort, if you move away from your father's tent,

if you move away from what's familiar to you, and you do that voluntarily,

and you make the sacrifices necessary as a consequence, this is what will happen.

I look at it this way. We don't experience life. We experience the life we focus on.

Much of what we think we're doing ourselves is being shifted by the outside world.

So I say prime yourself.

That's what religious practice is supposed to do.

Yes, and I think that's what it does do.

The aim for me is always a quest.

It's like, I have a question. Yes. And it's a real question, and I want to get farther in answering it.

Hello, everything. Hello everybody. I had the opportunity today to sit down with Tony Robbins and in the remarkable basement of his house as well. And so that's the setting. And Tony and I've got to know each other over the last couple of years and have had a number of discussions. And partly what we've been trying to puzzle out is our,

what would you say, the similarities between our parallel endeavors. I mean, Tony's, I suspect, he's probably the most

popular and impactful speaker, personal development speaker the world's ever seen. Oh, no,

I'm very fascinated by what he does, and I've seen his events, and I've reviewed some of the scientific literature pertaining to his achievements.

That's actually what we started our conversation with, because Tony's program has been

subject to scientific scrutiny, and it seems to have remarkable antidepressant properties.

And so I'm very interested, like Tony, is, in how people

chart their life course and how they establish their aim and how they determine their strategies

and how they describe their conditions for fulfillment and what fulfillment is and how it can

be sustained and how it can be self-improving and how it can be brought to other people.
