Tony Robbins Quotes

When you know what's most important to you, making a decision is quite simple.

How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things.

Your decisions reveal your priorities

Oh Lord, may I be directed what to do and what to leave undone.

There's a gray area there that I'm satisfied is not gray.

In a way, I have simplified my life by setting priorities.

You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.

There will be very few occasions when you are absolutely certain about anything. You will consistently be called upon to make decisions with limited information. That being the case, your goal should not be to eliminate uncertainty. Instead, you must develop the art of being clear in the face of uncertainty.

When you're making a decision that involves your children a certain amount of clarity comes with it.

What difference would a clear vision of my principles, values, and ultimate objectives make in the way I spend my time?

There is great power in focusing on what you want..... The person who tries to do everything accomplishes nothing. Most people try to be all things to everyone. And so they end up being nothing to anyone. Confucius nailed the point: "Person who chases two rabbits catches neither."

When you're put in a position where you're having to decide, Is this a good decision? Is this the right decision for everybody involved? - it makes me feel a little unsteady, unsure.

Think only what is right there, what is right under your nose to do. It's such a simple thing - that's why people can't do it.

People like definite decisions, / Tidy answers, all the little ravelings / Snipped off, the lint removed, they / Hop happily among their roughs / Calling what they can't clutch insanity / Or saintliness.

If something feels right, I do it. If it feels wrong, I don't. It's really very, very simple, but you've got to be willing to take your chances doing stuff that may look crazy to other people - or not doing something that looks right to others but just feels wrong to you.

Never ask people. Not about your work. Don't you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?

I am fortunate to have a very helpful team that enables me to spend time doing things that are important but not necessarily urgent. People who have no such team need to also make these larger decisions so that they can cheerfully say No to that which is urgent but not important.

We're constantly making choices about the way we spend our time. The issue is not between the good and the bad, but between the good and the best. So often, the enemy of the best is the good.

Most people, even in simple risky situations, don't behave the way the theory of utility would have them behave.

Lack of clarity is the number-one time-waster. Always be asking, 'What am I trying to do? How am I trying to do it.

I think the idea that in a riddle there are two answers or two doors and that you have to pick the right one is almost sort of delightful to kids who are making so many choices every day and who often don't know for a while if they've made the right one. It's not as if you make a choice and then *ding* you have some sense of "oh, this is perfect and I'm happy" - it's never that simple.

If for you the most important thing is to make a lot of money, then you don't want to take a certain type of risk. If, on another hand, the most important thing to you is to make people around you have a more fulfilled life, then there is a different set of things that are important to you. Unless you really know that about yourself, you will never be able to appropriately assess risk.

I've learned to keep things simple. Look at your choices, pick the best one, then go to work with all your heart.

I'm really paying attention. People make up their minds late.
