The Missing Link of Positive
Mental Attitude (PMA)
Here is one of those motivational speakers that provide
the very crucial missing link that make the difference between PMA and Self
Delusions of Success.
I first came across Anthony Robbins in an infomercial selling his audio motivational lessons Personal Power II. I was an 18 years old student. I did not buy any of his products since I was so young to consider my life to be a failure, so why bother with success.
It was about 6 years later when I went to Taiwan ROC for a 2 month marketing consulting project that I really got a chance to bite into some of his work.
Ironically, my life at that point of time was on the verge of collapse rather than success. The marketing consulting project I took was a decision out of desperations instead of inspirations; the project was offered by a marketing company that I was working part time in their night shift’s telemarketing department. I was in the mid of my second academic pursue, a Diploma Course in Advertising; that evening job was just a mean to pay my fee and to keep my family together at the same time.
From Desperation To Inspiration!
Things were very tough on me because of unforeseen circumstances that put my family into a financial crisis. Since that 2 months project offered to pays me 2 times more than my part time wages. I grab the opportunity, even though I had only 5 months left to complete my studies.
During the 2 months in Taiwan, I was very much a loner. I rarely hang out with any friends there since I got no much money to waste. One of the ‘luxuries’ I can afford was reading. I bought Anthony’s Awakening the Giant Within simply it was a cheap and good way to pretend I am busy and to kill boredom at the same time.
Never did I realize what I was getting into when I started to flip into the book...I was HOOKED!
You may be thinking, maybe his book arrived at a time when I was just desperate to grab hold of any help from any motivational speakers and gurus I met along the Way. If that is so, then it had been a Very Long and Rewarding Way of help. The book was still with me, and I had referred it back so many times that it look like an ancient manuscripts from some high remote Tibetan monastery.
Anthony Robbins is one of those motivational speakers that provide more than just theories of success. He gives you the power not only to believe but to put in actions to reach your goals.
While a fraction of what Anthony taught can be found in a lot of other books and materials related to Positive Mental Attitude(PMA), Anthony got a way of presenting it in words that are so simple to understand; more than that he put it in a way so powerful that I can’t wait to use them to make a positive difference into my life and others. If you really look closely into his books or other info products, you will know that it is very different from other motivational speakers; is more than just PMA. In fact, it takes more than PMA to really get your life going.
The Problem with PMA.
If you are like me, who had read enough books and materials about PMA by other motivational speakers, and had even tried using PMA techniques in life, you will realize that having a positive mental attitude is not enough.
I do not know about you, but my experience with PMA techniques taught by a lot of motivational speakers are like a Roller Coaster Ride. My life just went up and down, up and down……..etc.
You just can't simply achieve success by daydreaming alone.
The only credibility I can give to PMA taught by other motivational speakers is that it is an important step to begin with, but never enough; no, not even close.
Anthony Robbins does not stop at PMA. Unlike other motivational speakers. He combined all the powerful ingredients of both Human Psychology and Behavioral Science and put it in simple to follow digestible bite size pieces of information that are highly inspirational and motivational.
For those who had bought his books but had left it on the shelf, I urge you to start reading them ASAP and read every word in it. For those who are afraid to be labeled over the stigma you will be put on for reading a self help books, don't! Because your life is own by you, not others.
If you are like me, you will need another reason to be convinced, here sre some motivational and inspirational lessons I learned from Anthony Robins
