Tony Robbins

Mom, who I love dearly, has since passed.

Beautiful soul.

She created a lot of my success to her.

But also when she drank alcohol and took prescription drugs, she was a different person.

Very violent.

I have a younger brother, younger sister.

So I really became a practical psychologist in my youth, learning how to manage her emotions in her states and how to really get things done.

and um and then probably the thing that changed my life the most though was when i was 11 years old my fourth father and he got fired from his job and it was thanksgiving we had no money and no food when i say no food we had crackers and peanut butter but you know not a thanksgiving dinner which kind of depressing and my parents were fighting and

you know, saying things you can never take back.

And I was trying to make my brother and sister not hear it.

And my life was changed because someone came to the door.

I opened it, big guy, two bags of groceries in his hand and a frozen turkey uncooked in a pan on the ground.

He'd obviously carried in and sat down.

He said, is your father here?

And I was like, just one moment.

And I thought it was going to be the most joyous moment.

But my father was angry because he felt humiliated.

He looked at it as charity and said, we don't accept that.

Long story short, the man said, I'm the delivery guy and my dad had to take the food.

And that day changed my life because my father left shortly thereafter and I really loved him.
