"I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk." - Tony Robbins
What's my story?
So, what's my story with Tony Robbins?I will start off by telling that one of my other Superheroes, my Mom introduced me to Tony's work. While playing golf at a very competative level, my Mom introduced me to Tony's book, Unlimited Power.
Unlimited Power was an amazing book that had a significant impact on my life. It taught me how to set goals, how to work towards them, it challenged my thinking, improved my self confidence, and it got me to take action on many things that deserved my attention.
Later I purchased and read his book, Notes from a Friend. In this book Tony tells the story about how his family received a basket of food for Thanksgiving. He credits it as something that changed his life forever, and it's something that has driven him to reach out and help many other people.
After reading about Tony recieving a basket, I was inspired to deliver baskets to local needy families in my community. Out of that idea I founded my nonprofit program, A Day of Hope. Over the course of three years, A Day of Hope has fed 415 families which equals over 2,000 people who have had the pleasure of eating a Thanksgiving meal due to our hard work.
Several years later I attended Tony's signature seminar, Unleash the Power Within. It was an amazing event that I was so excited to experience it. This is the four day, 50 hour long seminar where he has you walk on fire the first night!
Since then I've continued to listen to his audio programs and grown so much from his insight and learning from him.
