Anthony Robbins

ROBBINS: I push myself so hard, and I think of the tough times I've been through, like anyone's been through. I think when you get on the other side of them, what happens is they build emotional and spiritual muscle, because if you have nothing to resist, you don't build any muscle. If I want to build that bicep, I've got to push against something.
If life has never given you any real challenges, real push, any real difficult times, then I think you become weak. And I think one of the biggest challenges in life is that we try to make things so easy for everybody, we treat people like they're fragile, so they become fragile. I have such a respect for the human spirit, I believe that if you push with someone, they will grow, they'll expand.
Now, some people are not ready to be pushed. Some people are in a place where they're fragile. But the majority of people are underdeveloped in who they are because they're standards are so low and because the people around them accept them. And I believe that if you care about somebody, there's a way to get them to another level. And it's not being disrespectful or telling them they're wrong. It's finding that source inside of them that's still alive and fanning the flames of that intensity, give them a taste of who they are, and people start to change. And I found that in myself early on, and I haven't ever let go of that.
