Have you ever heard of a guy named Anthony Mihailović? No, no. Anthony J. Mihailović. He ended up reinventing himself as a guy you might know named Tony Robbins. And so that's Tony Robbins' birth name. And when I was at the Tony Robbins event many, many years ago, 10 years ago maybe, he tells a story where it was part of the Q&A. It wasn't really part of his, like, script. And he was like, you think I just woke up like this? You think I was just born like this? You think I just stood up on a stage and suddenly talked like this? You think I looked like this? You think I had the power to compel people like this? And he just goes, you think I woke up with discipline And he was like, no. And he goes, I created this Tony Robbins motherfucker. He goes, I created him. I decided that's who I needed to be. And then I created him. And he goes, and you know, now it seems like, yeah, that's just how it is. But he goes, you have to decide for yourself, like who you are going to make yourself into. And I just remember feeling like that was just a very powerful way of saying it.
