What is the most powerful force that can change your life?
The most powerful force that can change anybody's life is the change of identity. What is identity? We all have a way of defining ourselves. And the problem is we probably defined it a long time ago. If someone says, oh, I can't do that, I'm not one of those. But they're really saying that doesn't match my identity. But when did you come up with your definition of yourself?
How can identity shape your actions?
What's up? What's going on? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show. Talking to you about all the things going on in your life, your relationships, challenges with your family, your kids, your mental and emotional health, whatever you got going on. For the last two decades plus, I've been sitting with people when the wheels have fallen off in their life. I'm just trying to figure out what's the next right move. And so this show is real people calling from all over the planet. And occasionally I have a guest on. And today's show, I'm pretty excited about, man. This is like the OG goat. The OG goat. The great Tony Robbins joins me to talk about hope, what comes next, the cycles of how the world turns, and ways each and every one of us can look in the mirror and demand and decide and transform our lives from the inside out. The thing I've loved about Tony forever is... He refuses to let people be defined by their labels. He just refuses. He sees so much potential in every single person.
And he's got a gift and he's been doing it for 40 plus years. He's got a gift for bringing that out of people. And so I'm excited to sit down with him, man. He's kind of been on my bucket list for a long time. And we have a great conversation here. So check out my conversation with the one and only Mr. Tony Robbins. I want to start there in a culture obsessed with categorizing, labeling, and telling people what they can or can't do based on some sort of status, right? They have a snapshot of diagnostics. They experienced some trauma growing up. They've been through some hard challenges. Or maybe it's that nowadays it's fun to even beat up those who have been quote-unquote successful, right? Like you've got a high net worth, so you have no problems. Quit whining about anything, right? You don't care about anybody. No, you don't care about anybody. You hate people just because you have money. Your whole career has been what I, man, tell me if I'm wrong, is almost the opposite of much of the, what I call the mental health, cultural zeitgeist, which is there's something wrong with you.
We're going to pat you on the head, go and sit in the corner and we'll advocate for you. You've been teaching people how to advocate and empower themselves forever. So how do you teach somebody who's trying to build a small family, an entrepreneur just starting out? I've got elderly parents now who are beginning to be reflective over their life. Like, did we have any value here? How do you teach somebody how to develop a path forward in spite of not just park it and call it because I've got some label attached to me?
I think the most important thing is to get rid of the labels because labels become the story. And once you have a story, you live the narrative, right? So the most powerful force that can change anybody's life is the change of identity. What is identity? We all have a way of defining ourselves. And the problem is we probably defined it a long time ago.
Why is it important to eliminate labels?
If someone said, oh, I can't do that, I'm not one of those. What they're really saying is that doesn't match my identity. But when did you come up with your definition of yourself? And the power of identity is so powerful. Like if you, for example, let's say, you know, have a big goal and you start to go for it. The last minute you get fearful and you put it off, you procrastinate. And then you go for it again. And the last minute you get fearful and procrastinate. You have four or five times. After a while, you don't want to feel bad about yourself. So you develop an identity. I'm a procrastinator. And now, by the way, you won't be disappointed. You'll do it on a regular basis. You won't achieve your dreams, but you'll be comfortable. You follow me? Absolutely.
