Awaken The Giant Within Summary

Robbins emphasizes that our lives are shaped by the decisions we make. Master the art of decision-making by committing fully to your choices and taking immediate action.

To create a better life, start by raising your standards. Identify the areas where you’ve settled and set new expectations for what you’re willing to accept.

Your emotions shape your life. By controlling your emotional state, you can respond to challenges positively and stay motivated to achieve your goals.

All change starts with a decision. Commit to improving your life by identifying the areas you want to work on and taking action consistently.

Our decisions, not our circumstances, shape our destiny. Commit to making empowering decisions and following through consistently.

Reprogram the mind by associating pain with destructive habits and pleasure with positive changes to achieve lasting transformation.

Beliefs are the foundation of our actions. Identify limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering ones to unlock our potential.

The three decisions that control your destiny are:

1. What to focus on?
2. What things mean to you?
3. What to do to create the results you desire?

• By changing any one of these five elements ( a core belief or rule, a value, a reference, a question, or an emotional state ) you can immediately produce a powerful and measurable change in your life.

• Everything you and I do, we do either out of our need to avoid pain or our desire to gain pleasure.
• It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
• Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

• Raise your standards and believe you can meet them.
• Develop a sense of certainty that we can and will meet the new standards before we actually do.
• In life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.
• In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions.
• It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Decisions, not conditions, determine destiny. Three decisions shape your life:

• What to focus on
• What things mean
• What to do

True decisions cut off all alternatives, include total commitment, and require immediate action. A genuine decision creates immediate behavioral change, not just intentions.

All human behavior follows the Pain-Pleasure Principle—we act to gain pleasure or avoid pain. What controls behavior is not actual feelings but what we anticipate will lead to those feelings.

Key distinctions for lasting change:

• Short-term vs. long-term consequences (most prioritize immediate feelings)
• Unconscious vs. conscious associations (most decisions happen unconsciously)
• External vs. internal motivation (internal creates lasting change)

By consciously linking pain to unwanted behaviors and pleasure to desired actions, you transform patterns without willpower.

Here are few pointers from the book.

In life, Lot of people know what to do but few people do what they know

Know that its your decision not your condition that determines your destiny

Most people can experience pain yet fail to change because they haven’t experienced enough pain

Most of us base our decisions about what to do and whats going to create pain or pleasure in the short term instead of long term.

We are not driven by reality but perception of our reality.

Three categories of Beliefs.

1.Opinion

Opinion is sth we feel relatively certain about, but the crrtainty is only temporary because it can be changed easily.

2.Belief

A belief, on the other hand, is formed when we begun to develop a much larger base of reference legs, and especially reference legs about which we have strong emotion

"Live life fully while you're here.

Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.

Be in control of your life.....don't let your life contol you

control your life or let life control you
