Chapter 1- Dreams of Destiny

Awaken the Giant Within- Anthony Robbins

Chapter 1-Dreams of Destiny

“A consistent man believes in destiny, a capricious man in chance” Benjamin Disraeli

We all have dreams that we want to accomplish- we all have had them! Some of us accomplish them and some no longer even try. Why? Robbins life quest is to help each person remember and use the unlimited power that lies sleeping within each of us.

Most of us do not realize the “giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives. Controlled focus is like a laser that can cut through anything that seems to be stopping you.”

This is one reason so many of us fail- “we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power.” We dabble through life “never deciding to master anything in particular.” We “major in minor things.”

I have decided, as Anthony Robbins did many years ago, to contribute in some way that will live on long after I am gone. Robbins recognizes “the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives.”

He shares (in detail) a formula for making lasting changes in your life:

1. Raise Your Standards

2. Change Your Limiting Beliefs

3. Change Your Strategy

He also writes about the importance of gaining mastery in all areas of life: emotional, physical, relationship, financial and time.

Summary: “I wrote this book to be an action guide–a textbook for increasing the quality of your life and the amount of enjoyment that you can pull from it…The purpose of this book is not just to help you make a singular change in your life, but rather to be a pivot point that can assist you in taking your entire life to a new level. The focus of this book is on creating global changes.

Moment of Inspiration: All my past failure and frustration have been laying the foundation for the understanding that will create my future success.
