Excerpt from a YouTube interview where Tony Robbins (Speaker B) answers what single message he would leave younger generations: be relentless, become the creator of your own life, and don't settle. He emphasizes finding a purpose larger than oneself to generate the emotional/psychic energy needed to persist through hardship and work long hours even at older ages.
If me and you died tomorrow and you had one more message to leave with the younger generation, what would that be?
I'd say be relentless. Become the creator of your own life. Don't settle for less than you can be or do or create or give. No matter how hard it gets. Obviously is hard. There's nobody who's got great success in their life or great fulfillment. Even more importantly, who hasn't been pushed to the edge multiple times. But it's the person that just won't give up, who keeps moving forward, and the person who's found something they care about more than themselves. I think that's the most important thing. I don't care about your kids or it's your family. If it's your business, it's your mission. If there's something you care about more than you, you're going to have enormous energy for the rest of your. If it's just about you, you don't need that much to fulfill your basic needs, and so you'll eventually burn out. But if it's about something larger than yourself, man, you know, I get up there and I go, 12, 13, 14 hours at 66 years old, and people go, holy, I'm 24 or 25, and I can't keep up with this guy. Right, but where does that energy come from? Yes, I work out like a crazy person, but that's not enough. It's psychic energy. It's emotional energy. It's the energy of knowing what you're doing matters.
