Tony Robbins on the three questions that reveal why you're unhappy: "People don't experience life, they experience the life they focus on. If you're happy, you are deleting all the things you could be pissed off about. If you're unhappy, you're deleting all the things that are great in your life. Our brains delete and distort and generalize, so if you don't direct it, you get whatever shows up" "What's wrong is always available. What's right is also available. It's just which one you pick. And it isn't about positive thinking. I've never been into positive thinking. I believe in intelligence, because when you're in a lousy state of mind, you treat people poorly, you don't perform, you're not happy" "There are three decisions you're making every moment of your life. The first one is what are you going to focus on. If you're supposed to meet someone at 7 o'clock and it's 7:30 and they haven't called, some people are pissed off, some people are worried. It's the same event. Whether you're angry or worried had nothing to do with the event, it's the habits of your mind" "Do you tend to focus more on what you have or what's missing? Do you focus more on what you can control or what you can't? Do you focus more on the past, the present, or the future?" "If you constantly look at what's missing, it's hard to ever stay fulfilled. If you focus on what you can't control, you're overwhelmed and stressed. And if you focus on the past, which you can't change, that makes you angry or sad or frustrated. If you focus on what you have, you're going to be more fulfilled" "Instead of saying I want a New Year's resolution, another rule for myself, I need to change the ruler. A lot of times we don't even see that we're the ruler"
