We All Have Dreams: Tony Robbins Day 1

OUR DESTINY IS BORN OUT OF OUR DREAMS

Day 1 of Anthony Robbins’ book GIANT STEPS asks us to think about our dreams.

“Take a moment now just to dream and to think about what you really want for your life.” Giant Steps p. 15

My dream. I want to write a best seller.

Mine. ALL mine.

I could temper that and make it more modest by saying—I want to get better with each book I write. Well... I do... but it isn’t the deep burning WANT in my heart.

I could even focus on the other wants taking turns in my thoughts. I want to get back into shape because I really want to be something besides round. (dang - a blasted 'to be' sentence.)

I’d like to turn the clock back and take advantage of those moments I let slip by—remake some of those bad decisions. Bonus - I'd be younger.

So... some of my wants are doable. Some aren’t.

But this focus—this post—what I’m spending time with Anthony Robbins for is to take that HUGE want I’ve been harboring for most of my life and make it a reality. (and truth be know, is the same desire of most writers I know.)

I want to write something that’s a huge success—whether its this one, or the next one, or the next, or the…next.

But... Hopefully this one.

Spending Time With Anthony Robbins

WHAT GOOD IS INSPIRATION IF IT'S NOT BACKED UP BY ACTION?

Once while browsing through a bookstore, a book called AWAKEN THE GIANT WITHIN by Anthony Robbins leaped off the shelf at me.

I'm not kidding. It JUMPED--right off the shelf. No help from me. Hit me in the chest and fell to the floor.

Either the cosmos or a familiar spirit was trying to tell me something so I bought the book.

I even read it. It was full of ideas on how to harness the strength living inside each one of us. Or, in this case--me.

I also discovered Michael Crichton wrote Jurassic Park after spending time with Anthony Robbins. Wow, that got my interest. I want to write a Jurassic type book. You know, best seller. (Since then I've heard there's some controversy whether the Michael Crichton and Anthony Robbins thing really happened or not, but I choose to believe it did. Otherwise this blog post will be really dumb.)

Later I found GIANT STEPS, this too by Anthony Robbins, a book listing the small changes a person (me) can make to get big differences. It's like an affirmations book of daily thoughts. I've tried a few of those before, but this is better. 365 Daily Lessons in Self-Mastery.

YES. *pumping fists* 365 days with Anthony Robbins without spending hundreds of dollars. (thousands for a scenic get-away.)

Can I write a best seller like Michael Crichton by doing what Anthony Robbins tells me in the little book? I want to give it a try.

SO
