Hey everybody! Happy Labor Day weekend. It's Tony Robbins and I just wanted to send out
a little video message uh... by the way, I'm here in Fijiāit's a rough life. I'm doing two back-to-back
seminars but doing it here makes life not feel like much labor.
But, I got here because I had the privilege of
stumbling upon a fundamental principle in my youth. That principle was taught to
me by my original teacher and his name was Jim Rohn.
And Jim taught me when I was just 17 years old that
in life
there's only one way for you really truly have your labor be fulfilling:
A. You have to align with what's most important to you, what you really
believe in, what's meaningful for you.
That if you settle for something less than that
well, you might have to do it because you have to pay your bills you can't ever give
up pursuing what's going to make you feel most alive, because
ultimately I really believe that the
probably most, I don't know, the most sacred thing in our lives that we can
give another human being besides our love
is our labor.
And you think about it: your labor's your energy, it's your time, it's your emotion,
it's your intellect, it's your spirit to some extent
and if you can find a way where
what you do for a living activates that sense of what you're made for
then work is not work, whether you be in Fiji or whether you be in an
environment that seems less exciting and promising at the moment. Trust me,
I worked in plenty of those, too,
but with the same level of excitement and passion 'cause I found what
turns me on, that makes me feel alive, makes me feel like I'm
doing something that's worthwhile
and on Labor Day, I think to a lot of people it's just a holiday to get away and take
time off of labor.
My hope is to trigger you to think about
how could you turn your labor into your love.
I think it was uh... Mark Twain who said when your vocation becomes your vacation
that's when life becomes truly magnificent and I'm privileged enough
to have that, but I
pursued it, and one of the secrets that i found that i do you know this inner soul
is that
we all know they're going to be master board so that you don't show up
you know i have the best in the world of something you don't show up environments
that you want to be a good dealt there because
you did things for
thousands and thousands of hours most of you know the concept of mastery taking
ten thousand our thoughts are virtually number
richard what about your debris leaders of the themselves now is because
we do something enough for the map intensity of the contention constantly
get better when your labor is your love and what your labor something at the
always get that rapid
then usually what happens you get these insights that allow you to serve more
but i also think that labor you don't talk about this week at what makes
people fulfilled by the labor is is their motives for if your modem is just
to make money or just to pay her bills or
or just to get richer whatever you think that's going to be
those people never really off a building that they make their money
uh... most fulfilled human beings in my experience and
i had the privilege of working with literally four million people from a
hundred twenty-five countries now around the world the people that are most alive
regardless of the economics
are people that i found something that
the we we feel
the motive is more than just themselves
you know we all know what it feels like we're trying to do something something
for someone you love you're not doing it is a trader not try to get something
back in just doing it because it's what you may four
and uh...
i was talking to a motive doesn't matter
if you just doing something for yourself is nothing wrong with that because
supports whatever else supports life you're part of life and return to do
something that's going to provide better i think
the universe dot whatever proper term for you one of your belief system is
infinite intelligence gets connected to you a different sites
but i think if you're trying to serve more than yourself more life than just
you
funding support worldwide worldwide shows up to support you
that might sound kind of relief area but it's my experience that we try to
support your family when suddenly i had four kids three of them overnight
my wife chains might inflict change my abilities changed as i was taught us or
something more than just me
uh... when i start really focusing on server community and then a country and
then
humanity of court is that they sell
uh... you get insight you won't get when you destroy the somehow you know make
your labor happen or get the job done
winter could be a lot of
it isn't for most people
most people i think i think up in their life because they look at
labor as work
probably look at is wise after covered so much and in my experience effort use
the reward if u are doing something about the status of your having likes it
or not all wonderful you're in fiji and you do what you love it i don't have
that
thanks so much for give me the lecture
under combat place how commonplace is saying
you can discover something that you really passionate about but in order to
do it
you've got to get out of the story of what you can't do it you got a purchase
of a wine
and so many people right now this labor day are out of work
and uh... with him
would you don't have the privilege to be able to work you start realizing that
work really is a privilege
most of us know that two-thirds the planet's with about two dollars a day
so no matter how difficult or life maybe most of us are worst challenger somebody
else's greatest dream
i think it starts with the gratitude for what we already have it starts with
understand what's wrong is always available but sold what's right
that you and i can figure out what's right with what we do if we can start
where we are and enjoy that labor everything changes i'll give you a silly
example
kind of funny story
i have some partners of business when i was just our costs are the costs
eighteen years old by two years old
and uh... i want to they're both good friends westover one of them kind of
called out to be in a harvey in maryland i mean if you ever
read the books that for whites
uh... they were my partners before that book was written and i can help them
build up the sysop initially
adams health business and i believe because passion about it
an army merlin uh... got involved with a particular guru that they really
believed in and india
gradually they started to decide that what they were going to do is they were
going to do this champion the summers were doing which were seminars on how to
become
the peak state the fitness and health
we're doing for successful businesspeople those days in beverly
hills of west los angeles
and a couple of areas i was concerned
but they were not going off to india
to have a spiritual experiences they were to come back and they were going to
try to convert people to
some form of spirituality
but it was right around the matter just a look at what we would be useful
i want to change people's lives will help
so being a young kid began all the answers i've been to india
with one thing in mind i'm gonna make sure but i have a conversation with the
guruji straightens my partner's out so they understand
that the labor is a gift to me to give the raid was separate from the
spiritually
cycle for this jury and i got in here
that i stay outside the saw struggles are not a follower of this thing
and they are they are strong when i got my meals a one-day come back from having
this meal removal mo comes up to me
and the monks says uh... excuse me
about what you are
either dismiss out there
he says what your price of one who disagree
guru i went to the meeting
gary about if you don't just have a meeting with a group of people come from
five percent here's a look at such meetings unsung hero
gears up to straighten something out to terry important with some of us
followers
evidence of why i haven't seen you might save us
as some would say no
peaceable sages
when you come in volunteer your time to give work to get labor
to do with it so i'm gonna fall of the groups are not to say because of the
church david was places that i think
disfavored was particles doesn't matter griz felicia and think that the other
server
he'll be here you go to bed you must give labor
units volunteer four hours a day at the same time
configured you gotta be kidding me
after he left he said you should report to this place for your side
but there's no way i'm going to do this
but i struggled guilty i see all these people doctors and
lawyers and moms and kids and they're all work in
so finally i report to savor
behind i'll get this out a way
so i show up for the save all never forget right for my labor
and the guy looks at nichols' all big manning fuji mover
that i thought oh no no i'm not a bad back again about back which
was true but i was exaggerate how bad it was at that moment just cause i don't
want to do but you have a waiver
had
when i was growing up i grew up very poor
and i'm the oldest of three and i had to do all the shopping all the grocery
shopping on my bicycle kamal make them you know i was happy with all that the
bed right when you want to be done with your work and go watch sports or do
something great
and wash the dishes
so i swore someday i will never do the labor washing dishes i look for the
dishwasher i will find some way that i have to do dishes
it brings back the because when i told him
good beer fridge move relief that goes on
only one of the job left
dishwashing
dishwashing in india
is a different way good
you might picture in your kitchen
here it is our slava i report that there's these look solids and yogurt
sort of florida standing in your bare feet
that you're taking these philby dishes coming across the next four hours a day
for six or seven days i'm telling you i was so angry i was so mad that it myself
but it was best that it was house bositis dishes and upsetting
puzzles of the d_n_a_ in that you know i didn't like the back door smoke on the
floor was judgmental about everything
in the middle of all this stuff
afternoon outwardly entirely they made some part of the can't be able to get
whatever you do you're the best that it went to the best damn dishwasher
the spoke cristobal cities dishes with reviewers
come on guys because they got
and something magical happen
the thing that i thought was most disgusting and
wavering work
became quite
and pastoral apple pie self
what did he go
jerk you are
to think that your below washes the dishes
and i got me on my team to ensure kintu
why not just in the show or whatever you do with the would you do
all the sudden it's not working more
and that was my great spiritual breakthrough identity because during try
to straighten him out but uh...
he didn't think very much an eighteen-year-old give strata maddie
last quite a bit he did talk to my partners and said
i think i should just you know keep teaching what your teacher that fit for
life went on to be one of the successful books of history
uh... but like a good credit for that as a part of the hopis
but i will tell you that if you ken
get over what you get yourself the world to do the stuff you hate to do
there's no limit to success you can have a new life
if you couldn't take the things that you're afraid you have to do too
succeed in your business or to succeed in your life or
uh... to succeed your relationship there things everybody doesn't want to do
and the more focused or no you're not going to do that no more life seems to
bring those things that work for you that makes the barriers
so maybe on labor day maybe it's time to take something that you can't stand it
would say you know i will do this for twelve above the level of the hell out
of it
that he did
you my final breakthrough you might find that
if you're in the moment with anything
and tapping into your going to enjoy getting white and the spoke a spot what
you can get this that what you can get
that steven giving
work disappears
and that doesn't matter if you're
by the ocean or in the desert doesn't matter with them
weather delayed thank you were not on a *** much as we all enjoyed
people's gratitude
we've done something really well
and you know it
than i would have a real says you know who you are you know what you become you
know what you've given
they hadn't
even people seem to be selfish inside we all are hearing for something more in
ourselves
returning to
feel like i latin batters
and cassini all the time that makes it took a cool
are just look at your table often they
and they're just so focused on the work that they for gotten better it's a gift
they can get some of that gets adjusted to i sometimes that gift is your
attention sometimes that guest
is a level of africans extraordinary and i think
one of the reasons i've been able to meet so many people some people killed
by a bounce you can imagine
you know most people will sit for a three-hour movie
that somebody has units that we had a million dollars on and i think people
for a weekend for
fifty hours ascot
but oprah winfrey dare this is a whole set for two hours of ends up while to
get going at your friend that i've got a soccer mom from germany on a headset
translated for fifty hours and they all come out of that going most incredible
towards my wife it's because when i'm up there it isn't labor
it circuit
uh... if you can't happen that service gosh
them down
i get soaked up on a talk about it it's uh...
it's what life's made for it's twice not about me twice about wheat you know that
megan labour gets a good time to remember that um...
labor is service and services life
and we serve something more than ourselves we feel more alive
so uh...
that's my two cents a craft
professor
of emotional guy and that that's an issue that
articles that were missing that's
it's you see so many people out there without the job or jobs that are just
completely on think i think
one of those jobs is all of the
people uh... that women in their armed services are going out there
working their tail off giving their labor where their life is on the line
for us
and uh...
i'll dig of labor day you'll think about some of those people to self
here is that what i'd like to offer you if you'd like more than just my
additional ramps obvious some of the coach you and i have
whole series of products and services and so much to do that but
for labor day for four days double special ed like to offer you which is
my original personal power to do that most successful
personal achievement program ball time
uh... very proud of it
uh... it's a program that guides you we just do one will argue a daily guide you
through creating all these change your like your body lotions relationships
finances
uh... fazal successful mystery
haha when he got a bill to be like to just try at no charge for the shipping
all seventy two the shipping
and keep it right for thirty days and
if you were allowed to keep it double booked for that to you i think it's over
three months that they'll have split of the offer is therefore you or just right
to see if this could make a difference being discarded
move yourself strategically not just be inspired the strategically towards what
matters more in your life right now
and if you so i think he did
uh... won't go into that but if you do then you can tell someone else you want
us to send a second to as a guest someone else who you think
for the past
the spirit of giving
and uh... if you don't have some in particular but i'd love to take the
while put one in your name in save it to the woman was workers organization that
we work with
cause a lot of men and women i've come back in
yard talk show you that this type of work makes a difference i'm still to get
those people anyway but i'll just add one more in your name
if you decide you don't want to send this to a friend or family members uh...
help us out
well message remind you that labor day isn't just about
for the beach and have beats a get in front of her whatever we all do a
different times nothing wrong with all those things but maybe it's time tap
into the spirit of
