1
Everybody's focusing on the outside world, and hell, there's a lot of things in the outside world you'll never be able to control.
2
You can influence, but you can't control it.
3
This, your mind, your emotions, your body, you have 100 % control over what you do with these things, and that's where the game is won.
4
You win the inner game, then you win the outer game.
5
But a lot of people spent their life trying to win the outer game, they won, and they're miserable.
6
So to me, success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.
7
And so many people are focused on success, Phil, which to me is like, there's nothing wrong with it, but it's like success is getting what you want.
8
Fulfillment is living what you're made for.
9
The biggest problem people have is they think they're not supposed to have any.
10
And problems are the fuel for growth.
11
You know, anybody who doesn't have problems is either totally asleep at the wheel
12
or they don't have much of any kind of a life.
13
You know, no responsibility, nothing they're building.
14
So I think the first thing is this misnomer that if I have a problem, there's something wrong with me or my life.
15
And I think the second one is this delusion we've sold people on
16
that getting what you want is going to make you happy.
17
You know, you could call success getting what you want.
18
I don't define it that way, but that's how most people do.
19
But then there's fulfillment.
20
And fulfillment is living what you're made for.
21
It's like, I think the biggest challenge people have and the reason they're not able to respond to challenges, they're just thinking about themselves and it's not
22
that hard to meet your own needs
23
and it's nobody's fault i mean these little things in our
24
pocket these little mini computers we used to call phones i
25
mean they're constantly conditioning you to instantly get what you want
26
and that's not how human relationship works
27
and it sure as hell not how you build a business there's nothing wrong with going for success
28
but you really got to figure out what you're made for
29
and nobody knows in the beginning so you start where you are
30
and you do what's in front of you do what's next
31
then you keep growing until you start to discover hey this is my real passion this is my real hunger
32
and drive and it can change people go for five six seven years
33
and then they usually question their business their career their their body their relationships
34
and then one of two things happens they change direction
35
and feel renewed
36
or they go no I got a great deal here what the hell's wrong with me
37
and they recommit and they get stronger but that's life and
38
if you don't grow i don't give a damn how much
39
you got going for you you're going to be miserable find
40
somebody who has what you want ideally maybe more than one person two
41
or three and figure out what are they doing different than you in their relationship
42
what do they believe different than you about relationship
43
if it's their body what are they doing they're not lucky
44
they're doing things differently you might be slightly biochemically different
45
but there's patterns there that you can see and
46
so instead of learning by trial and error which can take decades you may never learn.
47
Jim Rohn taught me success leaves clues, man.
48
Find someone's got what you want, study what they do, every aspect of it, and then add yourself to it.
49
And that's the pathway to speed of transformation.
50
Your growth is the only limit to your happiness.
51
If you're not happy, you're not growing in some area.
52
And usually it's a place where you're blaming, you're pointing the finger.
53
I don't care if it's government, don't get me wrong, people can be unfair, unjust, that's for sure happens.
54
But you can't control that.
55
You can't make it not happen.
56
What you have to do is become stronger than any of it so you're free.
57
Freedom comes from growth.
58
Freedom does not come from control.
59
Because control is an illusion.
60
You can't control everybody, no matter how hard you try.
61
You can't control what they think or feel.
62
And not everybody's going to be fair and just.
63
And you, my dear friends, and I, have not always been fair and just whether we admit it
64
or not it's just the nature of being a being a human being
65
but we can't make the largest pattern fair and just
66
and loving and powerful and serving
67
and growing until it becomes the dominant thing inside you
68
and then you experience life as being great not you're great life's great
69
because you're living a great path people that are scared to speak
70
or thinking constantly how am i doing am i good enough
71
am i strong enough you'll never get confidence confidence comes from doing something so much confidence is tying your shoes, right?
72
Confidence on Michael Jordan making a thousand shots before you take a break every single day, six days a week.
73
So you look at Jordan or you look at, you know, LeBron or you look at anybody who's the best in the world at what they do and you go, aren't they lucky?
74
But if you actually study them, you'll see they're doing things, they're practicing in private things that make them certain in public
75
and they get rewarded for what they do in public yeah
76
and you got to do the same self -esteem is earned
77
it's only earned by you with yourself you're not going to get self -esteem
78
because everybody praises you you somebody tell your whole life
79
that you're brilliant you're a genius you're beautiful you're handsome
80
and you not believe it someone can tell you you know you're a piece of crap
81
and you're never going to become anything
82
and there's a part you can say i'll show you as many people have
83
and then they develop drive out of it right So it's really, self -esteem comes from doing incredibly difficult things where you know you pushed yourself.
84
It's not virtue signaling.
85
It's not telling people about it.
86
It's what you know inside your soul is true.
87
The most important thing for self -esteem is to find something you care about more than yourself.
88
As long as you're in your own head, the nature of the mind is reductionism, right?
89
Good, bad, right, wrong, all those types of things.
90
Of course, life is much more many different hues than that.
91
And so when you find something you care about, whether it's your kids or whether it's something, your job, your career, whether it's a mission you have, it's something you want to bring to the world,
92
nonprofit, doesn't matter what it is.
93
If you find something you care about more than you, you won't be thinking about yourself all the time and all your self -esteem just goes out the window.
94
I mean, it's just, when I hear it, it's just so mamby -pamby BS.
95
you know you're going to battle with internal things within you
96
and external things but if you keep going you're going to eventually slay your dragons
97
and you come out and the hero of your own life
98
and you have something to share it isn't bullshit it's not something you read somewhere it's something you've lived
99
and everybody can feel you've lived it
100
because it's a different level of ownership you know
101
and then by the way as soon as you do
102
that it happens again you're called on another journey you have a new level of challenge
103
that you need to go on And it just never ends, but it makes life really, really beautiful.
104
One of the things you have to understand about life is everything changes and everything ends.
105
And that kind of sounds heavy on the front end, but it's a truth.
106
If everything changes and everything ends, number one, it should make you appreciate what you have right now.
107
And then my view is what's next is always better.
108
If I make it so, it's my job to make it so.
109
Your biography is not your destiny.
110
And it doesn't matter what you've been through, what you decide now is what's going to control your life.
111
What you decide each day going forward is going to decide your life.
112
Look where I am right now.
113
Because I wouldn't assemble the story that my past equals my future.
114
The past only equals your future if you live there.
115
If you're using a rear view mirror to guide yourself, you're going to crash.
116
So what you've been through is horrific.
117
What you've been through is unjust.
118
I'm on your side.
119
But if you hang on to it, you have no future and you have no one to blame but yourself.
120
good times create weak people weak people great bad times bad
121
times great strong people strong people great great times got to be strong with yourself
122
but beating yourself up just lowers your energy and
123
when your energy gets lower you produce less right you don't have
124
and you don't the same level of joy you don't have the the impact
125
that you want to have nor do you have the excitement
126
that you really want to have
127
so i look at it um i look at it as something
128
that it's worth earning your own self -esteem
129
but it's really not the secret the secret is find something else you obsess about more than yourself
130
and you'll have a level of energy
131
that will compel you over the long term people ask me
132
all the time what does it take to be happy
133
and i always tell them it's really simple one word progress progress equals happiness
134
if you keep growing you're going to feel alive and
135
if you keep growing you're going to have more to give
136
and when you're growing and giving is
137
when life is magnificent it doesn't matter how many statues oscars they give you
138
or emmys or how much money you have in the bank we've all seen people have all those things
139
and i get the phone call because they're depressed
140
or somebody commits suicide in that area so it's really an inner game
141
and i think that's what's missing for us today follow the motivation daily podcasts.
142
Every day, we upload speeches that don't just inspire, they transform.
143
I think it's important to realize wherever focus goes, energy flows.
144
It's corny, but it's true, right?
145
In fact, maybe an easier way of saying it is, we don't experience life.
146
None of us do.
147
We experience the life we focus on.
148
So in any moment, what's wrong is always available so is what's right.
149
So it's not about being positive.
150
It's about being intelligent, right?
151
You know, when you're in a totally negative state
152
and the world's going to end and there are people like believing that in the next 12 years, you know, the entire environment's going to collapse and they won't have a child.
153
You know, you got to look at the impact of what you're believing and you got to look at and say, you know, where's my focus going?
154
There's, I can always be upset about something.
155
I can always find something to be joyous or at least grateful for, which leads to joy.
156
And I think it's having that learning to discipline your disappointments, you know, not allow them to grow and to move on and to use whatever life is giving you.
157
You can't be grateful and fearful simultaneously.
158
You can't be angry and grateful simultaneously.
159
So what I do is I start my day and make those changes.
160
And I close my eyes or I look out at the water.
161
And I think of three things that I'm grateful for for just a minute each.
162
And I do two strong things.
163
And usually one simple thing like the wind in my hair, or my daughter's smile or something that nature
164
so i don't just get wired for own unbelievable things but
165
that that primes that nervous system
166
and then the second thing i do is i take three minutes and it's kind of like a blessing or prayer
167
for the people around me, for the people I love.
168
I start close, they send it out there.
169
And there's been a lot of studies, I'm sure you've read that Dalai Lama and others have done on compassion for strangers, what it does to your brain.
170
And so I do it every day.
171
And then the last three minutes, I call three to thrive where I focus for a minute each on something I really wanna make happen.
172
But I don't sit there and pray for it, hope for it.
173
It's like, I give thanks for it as it's done.
174
I see it as done, I experience it as done.
175
I wire my reticular activating system.
176
I can speak in shorthand to you about this.
177
So now it's going to notice anything that relates to that, but it has a joyous feeling to it as well.
178
And I'm done in 10 minutes and I'm ready to rock and roll.
179
So, you know, I do my cold plunge and I, you know, I do the parts of my normal daily ritual, but that one I do.
180
And then I'll have like 60 seconds, you know, of joy or 60 seconds of peace that I'll do in the middle of the day.
181
And I'll just think of one of those things if I want to reactivate it.
182
You can have crappy self -esteem and achieve a hell of a lot.
183
Now, the real question is, what do you want?
184
and i think there's if you want an extraordinary life
185
which my definition
186
that is life on your terms like what's my idea it
187
might be different than yours completely some people it's three beautiful
188
children the white picket fence some people it's building a multi -billion dollar business somebody else that's writing poetry right
189
so instead of looking for somebody else it's like okay what do you really want from your life
190
and aligning yourself with moving forward towards what you really want
191
and i think if you can do that in a way
192
that also you feel serving other simultaneously there's a there's a sense of meaning in life that can't be replaced by
193
self -esteem or praise or compliments or being nice to yourself
194
and i don't think it's bad to be tough on yourself
195
i'm pretty tough on myself to be honest with you
196
but i also i'm much better at celebrating now
197
and i also realize being overly tough on yourself usually comes by making you know comparisons
198
that don't make sense but you look at somebody like steph curry
199
and you see this guy you know to shoot the ball
200
from almost half court jumping on the side of his thing
201
and he turns he doesn't even look he turns around
202
and just waves because he knows it's in already and it's swish
203
and the crowd goes crazy and people look at that
204
and go he's unbelievable he is he's unbelievable it's unbelievable he's
205
the greatest three -point shooter in history there's no one like him
206
but what they don't pay attention to is
207
that isn't like a little gift right he shoots 500 shots every single day never less than
208
that seven days a week for more than 15 years his
209
15 year professional career he's been doing it since before he was in college his dad really trained him
210
so think of
211
that 3 ,500 shots a week 168 ,000 shots in a
212
year 2 .52 million shots in his 15 year no you know NBA career
213
so he can make 3 ,600 shots not even one tenth of one percent I tell people
214
you get rewarded in public for what you practice in private.
215
Your training of your nervous system to do things is what really matters most.
216
And you can't just be in your head.
217
I think the problem is that people don't have something that they're wanting to serve more than themselves.
218
That's where my energy comes from.
219
I don't have to work in a day of my life.
220
Why the hell do I do all this crazy stuff?
221
Because it's so much more interesting to be in the game of life
222
and keep growing and expanding and being challenged that's what makes you feel alive
223
and do are there problems with 105 companies i can promise you
224
but if i thought my life was supposed to be problem free i would be really stressed out and
225
if i was just doing it for me i would have
226
stopped a long time ago it's like i know you've asked
227
me a lot of times about confidence you just mentioned it again like yes is
228
that lack of confidence no it's a lack of mission Right?
229
Because what happens is when you have something you want to serve, if it's your child and everything's on the line, you won't come up with answers you'll never come up with for yourself.
230
Right?
231
So it's like having that sense of mission.
232
And then I think the next problem is that people think they have to know how.
233
I call it the tyranny of how.
234
You get all excited.
235
I'm going to do this.
236
And then your brain goes, I've never done it before.
237
Oh my God, what did I say?
238
I don't know how to do this.
239
and they tend to focus on how to do it.
240
And when you start with how, you're screwed.
241
Most people major in minor things.
242
You know, they know more about some actress's personal life than they know about their own physical body
243
or their vitality or their energy or their emotion or their business or their career.
244
And so, what matters?
245
A few subjects, your body, because your energy matters.
246
That energy is low.
247
Everything I just said is worthless to you.
248
Because you're just gonna go, he's talking too fast and there's a lot going on
249
and yeah well hopefully the future will be better because
250
when you're low energy you don't use your full intelligence
251
or ability the point of the matter is most people
252
that energy has been lower so you need energy you need emotion
253
if you don't know how to master your emotion emotions start
254
wars emotion creates peace emotion get emotion gets you laid emotion gets your children emotion is what can make
255
that business work or fail
256
and most people don't know how to direct their own emotions
257
what's another lesson you got to look at your own financial world
258
if you don't master it it's going to create enormous stress.
259
Your relationships are everything as we've already said.
260
Your business or your career or hopefully it's your mission
261
and then there's the spiritual side of life
262
So you can take a half dozen areas
263
and go Let me find who's genius in this area and let me go learn from them.
264
Let me go read.
265
Let me listen to podcasts Let me be conscious about feeding
266
my brain Things they're gonna give me not only inspiration
267
but insight and skill
268
and tools You know Jim Rohn used to say my original teacher used to say Tony what happens
269
if I've got a
270
a cup of coffee here and he'd say what
271
if your worst enemy drops sugar in your coffee what's going to happen
272
and I go well you'd have sweet coffee and he goes what
273
if your best friend your mother your father your brother your
274
sister your loved one drops one drop of strychnine I said
275
you you'd be dead he goes that's right life is both sugar
276
and strychnine so watch your coffee his whole thing was stand guard at the door of your brain
277
but some people take it
278
and go oh my god you can kill me it was a metaphor these people are not
279
so toxic they're toxic because you give them energy so
280
if your mom's crazy and constantly criticizing you
281
and it drives you nuts just go that's my mom that's her way of showing love
282
and i find a new perspective
283
and no matter what she does just stay in a beautiful state
284
and love on her and think boy think of all
285
that she cares and feels for all that she's frustrated in life
286
or all that she's going through that's made her this way
287
and thank god i don't have to go through this i
288
can love her we all have a pattern of focusing on what we have
289
and at times on what's missing
290
which one do you think most people spend more time focusing on what they have
291
or what's missing what's missing what do you focus more on
292
what's missing yes the focus on what's missing is not something
293
that comes with someone who is a failure it comes very much with people who are very successful
294
and the question then becomes
295
if you're always focused on missing how can you sustain happiness you're in a permanent place of luck.
296
That's correct.
297
So scarcity is there.
298
So you'll have drive, right?
299
To keep staying on the hamster wheel of achievement, but you're not going to see much fulfillment and not in a sustainable way.
300
It's impossible.
301
And it has nothing to do with you or me, right?
302
It's just software.
303
And we got a soul.
304
We're not software, but you run your software
305
so often you start thinking your mind is you versus my mind is a tool that I'm going to use.
306
Or if I don't use it, it's going to use me.
307
I think passion is the genesis of genius.
308
If you've got enough passion, you're going to find answers nobody else does
309
but most people run out of fuel meaning they get tired
310
they get exhausted they get burnt out they get uh you know the law of familiarity they're around something
311
so much they take it a little bit for granted
312
and i've managed to see something in myself
313
that i found in every great leader that i've ever respected
314
and that is the sustained hunger hunger is the number one factor
315
when i see somebody i don't care about age they are care what their background is
316
if they're hungry to improve to change to make something happen
317
i mean
318
if you look at richard branson he's as hungry today in
319
his late 60s as he was at 16 years old
320
and at crypt starting virgin leaders anticipate losers react
321
if you can anticipate what's coming you can really take advantage
322
if you wait till it hits you you're in trouble
323
so i think we're in a time where you're gonna it's gonna be a better year
324
if you're willing to be better, right?
325
You know, winter can be a beautiful time.
326
As you've heard me say before, you can freeze the death or you can ski and snowboard and have a great time with your family and build something.
327
And so then when spring comes, you know, you can really take advantage.
328
But if you look at the world, the most successful businesses started in a winter.
329
68 % of the Fortune 1000 were started in either a recession or a depression.
330
I don't care if you're talking about Disney or Exxon in the depression
331
or Pizza Hut or FedEx in a recession or Apple in a recession
332
so this is your time but you have to get your head straight
333
and you got to get your energy strong and that's not easy
334
when most people and shoved in their houses and isolated
335
and heard nothing but fear so you got to take back control
336
I grew up in a pretty rough environment my mom was a beautiful soul
337
but when she drank alcohol
338
and she mixed it with prescription drugs it was a different creature
339
and it was a violent creature
340
if my mother had been the mother I want her to
341
be the mother she should have been i would not be the man i'm proud to be today
342
because i had to become a practical psychologist way before any schooling figure out
343
when she's going to go in the mood how do i
344
change her state how to protect her from the kids whatever i mean it was felt life
345
and death and it was to some extent
346
so i developed skills at such a young age then
347
when i learned things i just added to my skills
348
but i had a core sense of certainty
349
that i could turn anybody around because it started with my mother
350
but if your parents
351
if the people around you said all the things you thought they should have
352
if they had just not been toxic
353
if they'd encouraged you you wouldn't have any muscle
354
and right now you don't have any muscle because you're using
355
that as an excuse if you're thinking that
356
and i'm not attacking you brothers and sisters i'm calling to you
357
because i know you're more otherwise i just keep my mouth shut
358
we're just you've been hypnotized by a culture of weakness So I could have been messed up for life, but I didn't because something inside me says,
359
I'm responsible for this life.
360
And part of that is because I started reading when I was 13, 14 biographies of people, the greatest people in history and reading their lives and finding out, guess what?
361
Their lives were far from perfect.
362
Some of them had worse lives than I had.
363

Waarom praat oefenen met deze video?
Deze video is een geweldige bron voor schaduwspreken, want Tony Robbins spreekt met krachtige intonatie en een heldere structuur. Door zijn woorden na te volgen, leer je niet alleenEngels spreken met zelfvertrouwen, maar ook hoe je emotie en overtuiging overbrengt. Bovendien behandelt hij diepgaande onderwerpen die je helpen om betekenisvolle gesprekken te voeren—ideaal voor het verbeteren van je spreekvaardigheid in echte situaties. Schaduwspreekt met deze video helpt je ook om je luistervaardigheid te verbeteren, omdat je moet opletten op subtiele nuances in zijn taalgebruik.
Grammatica & Uitdrukkingen in context
- "You have 100% control over what you do with these things": Hier gebruikt Robbins "what you do" als een nominalisatie, wat betekent dat een werkwoordelijke structuur fungeert als een zelfstandig naamwoord. Dit is handig om complexe ideeën compact te formuleren.
- "Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure": De constructie "without + zelfstandig naamwoord" wordt vaak gebruikt om contrast te creëren. Let op hoe "fulfillment" (bevrediging) een abstract begrip is dat hier een sterke impact heeft.
- "Find somebody who has what you want": De relatieve zin "who has what you want" toont hoe je meerdere clausules kunt combineren om een duidelijke boodschap te geven. Dit is essentieel voor het bouwen van lange zinnen zonder verwarring.
Veelvoorkomende uitspraaktraps
Bij het oefenen met deze video zul je enkele uitdagingen tegenkomen. Bijvoorbeeld, "fulfillment" wordt vaak verkeerd uitgesproken als /fʊlˈfɪlmənt/ in plaats van de juiste /fʊlˈfɪlmənt/ (let op de klemtoon op de tweede syllabe). Daarnaast heeft "responsibility" een lange structuur: /rɪˌspɒnsəˈbɪləti/—veel leerlingen vergeten de tussenliggende "s" te pronuncieren. Gebruik een shadowing site om je uitspraak te vergelijken met Robbins' en focus op het nabootsen van zijn tempo en intonatie. Dit is de sleutel om je engelse uitspraak te verbeteren en zelfverzekerd te spreken.
Onthoud: Schaduwspraak is niet alleen over woorden herhalen, maar over het leren van de ritme en emotie van het Engels. Begin vandaag nog met deze video en ervaar hoe je spreekvaardigheid snel verbeterd!
Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + werkwoord — een vroegere gewoonte of toestand die niet meer klopt | used to call · used to say |
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | we've sold · have not always been · you've lived |
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | is won · is earned · can't be replaced |
| Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of ding | anybody who doesn · somebody who has · error which can |
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
