"Have you've ever been to a video or film that you've already seen? Get a fucking life"

Likable, enthusiastic, articulated, and fun but full of truisms and obvious things :\

@whicheverwayable i went to tony 2 tony robbins events, one 4 years ago, one 3 years ago. they still benefit me weekly if not daily.

all it is essentially is coaching and tools and discovering some of your problems and hopefully improving them to make a decent present and future life. he packages them up in an appealing way, which people can buy if they want to.

show me one athlete who doesnt have a coach ..... it has a place. dont knock it till you tried it.

"If you harm others you harm yourself, if you help others you help yourself"... Buddha already knew that. Compassion, loving kindness, wisdom, joy and love. He's basically translating Buddhist thoughts into the modern world.

[GrahamMSWard]

All sound and fury...no substance

Yesterday I built a computer out of a pile of sand, I just said "you can do it, you can do it" TADA here Iam typing on that mofo right now.
