I attended a 50 hours in a total immersion program with Tony Robbins in Chicago awhile back. It was called Unleash The Power Within. The first night I walked 15 feet barefoot in a fire, it was powerful. I had so many breakthroughs and takeaways from it, but instead of writing a huge article, I wrote myself a poem, or maybe a rally cry is a better way of putting it. This was meant for just me, but after reading it, I thought there might be some nuggets that you can take and use in your life.
Here is MY rally cry… I challenge you to make your own
I will not settle for being average
Average can be for everyone else who isn’t looking for excellent
But I don’t even want to be excellent, I want to be OUTSTANDING
I can change any story in my head that hasn’t been serving me
I can change the outcome by changing my attitude
I can change my attitude by changing my state
And I can change my state INSTANTLY by CHOOSING to
My past will only fuel my future
My body is the only one I will have, I will love and care for it
I will look for ways to add value to any situation
I will love deeper
I will look at my potential and capabilities rather then my limitations and shortcomings
I will treasure each moment as a gift from God
I will be grateful in every situation
I will take full responsibility for my results
I will play full out in life, dancing more, singing more, laughing more, and loving more
I will be a leader and not a follower
An action taker not a procrastinator
A solutionator not an excusenator
A problem solver not a complainer
I am going to acknowledge fear and do it anyways
I am going to strengthen the habits that serve me and starve the habits that destroy
I am courageous, meaning I do it anyway even though I am scared
I am committed to learning and growing each day
I will use words that empower instead of tear down
I know the outcome I want
I know the reasons why I want that outcome
I will take massive action towards that outcome
I will observe if the action is working
And I will change the approach if needed
The past doesn’t equal the future unless you live there
I will get what I want because I have a big enough reason WHY
I will do what I say and say what I do
I will keep good company because my standards are in direct proportions to the expectations of my peer group
I will look at everyone around me as my teammates
I will treat people nice who don’t treat me nice
I will not put limitations on what I am capable of
I will focus on deep breathing
I will model the success of those I look to be like, since success leaves clues
I have control over how my body feels
Exercise and eating healthy is part of who I am, not just something I do
Now I am the Voice
I will lead, not follow
I will believe not doubt
I will create not destroy
I am a Force for Good
I am a Leader
I will defy the odds and set new standards
I will step up
I will step up
I will step up
