There are many baby boomer geniuses out there, and many more who have accomplished great feats. One who comes to mind and is at the top of the list, and has had tremendous influence on so many of us. His name is Anthony Robbins. He created an empire with an idea. However his idea is so powerful that it has affected millions of people. And of course the idea has many facets, and has developed with our changing times. Human behavior has been a popular topic for many years. Norman Vincent Peale had a simple strategy for the power of positive thinking. It was pretty simple at the time, but has become far more complicated as time has progressed. It is compared to how lives have also become more complicated. For example televisions that used to just have on and off buttons…Well you know the rest of the story.
I personally became acquainted with his teachings about eighteen years ago, when his remarkable journey was destined for tremendous success. After reading abou t his dark times and seeing what he accomplished afterwards was of great inspiration. He had gained a lot of weight, difficulty paying his bills and not at all happy with his life. It is said that he had to wash his dishes in his bathtub. However, this situation did not last long. It is proof that anyone can make radical changes in life at any point, no matter what the circumstances are. People tend to get stuck and feel that the situation they are in will never change. So the self pity grows by leaps and bounds not leaving much room for developing new and creative ways to improve and enjoy life.
To my knowledge, he does not possess any advanced degrees but studied voraciously on his own. He always had great insight into people’s psyche and what needed to be done to solve enormous problems. There is also proof in life that we can achieve and accomplish great feats and have many of the things we want with a passionate dream. However it is not enough to just w ant and dream about something, but the commitment has to be so great that you live with your dream 24/7.
In his books and tapes there are many examples, exercises and methods for achieving these goals. Just when you think everything has been said and every guru has had his day something new emerges. It proves there is always room for one more great idea.
Anthony Robbins has changed many people’s lives, but only by people who were willing to follow his teachings and stick with them. How many times have you gone to a seminar and came out a “changed person”, only to lapse back into old habits in a few weeks. It is a daily commitment and effort to create these changes in life.
Robbins is a man who practices what he preaches, and is blessed with untiring energy and enthusiasm. Not only has he created a great empire, but has given back in so many ways. Of course it does help that he is tall, handsome and dynamic. He is on the end of th e baby boomer ladder, but we can proudly call him one of us.
