Tony Robbins

If you look at a great athlete, what makes a great athlete?

There's that sense of not only you practice and you got it in your nervous system, you're incredible in your strategy and the sport, but there's the state you bring to the table.

So I'm sure you've seen an athlete, a basketball player in the NBA about to shoot a free throw, a kicker in the NFL, and they go jogging out there and you look at them and you go, they're going to miss it.

And sure enough, they do.

Everyone's had that experience.

How did they know?

They saw the lack of certainty in their body, right?

And so when you try to get yourself to do something you've never done before,

it produces that kind of uncertainty.

So I always tell people, if you want a breakthrough, I think of it as three things at the most simple level to create a breakthrough.

A breakthrough being maybe there's an area that you've not gotten to where you want to be and you've promised yourself you're going to do it and then you don't follow through or you fall back.

and you're frustrated with yourself.

Most people have had something like that, but one day they did break through.

They did finally say enough of this.

And that day, that moment, they changed their relationship.

They quit what they're doing.

They started something new.

And what I found is there's three parts to that breakthrough.

And if you want to break through in any area, these are the things you got to do.

But I want to give you a reverse order real fast, okay?
