Tony Robbins

The whole universe, my laws, you grow or you die.

And when you grow, you have something to give.

And unless you're giving something beyond yourself, if it's always a trade,

You don't have any esteem for yourself.

You don't have any inner pride.

But when you have something to give, that's when life feels more meaningful.

The rate of change.

He's absolutely right.

But there are new studies that add another dynamic.

It's also affected by who is in your environment.

And today, who's in your environment because the social media is not real.

And so now we're in a place where people evaluate not by their circle of friends they hang out with.

That certainly plays a role.

but even more so.

And I've always told people, if you want to grow, get on the field with people tenfold of where you are.

If you want to play tennis and you're not good at tennis and you're fortunate enough to sit down with somebody who's world-class, like a Serena Williams friend of mine, if you go out and do that, you're terrible.

But just to get on the court with her, you've got to get great.

If you play against somebody you're better than...

It's only a matter of time before your skills go down as well.

So I think our society, people have an expectation today.
