Why Do You Do What You Do?


Tony Robbins Asks Why We Do What We Do

Sit back and ask yourself this very question: Why do I do what I do?  Is what you’re doing driven by passion, skill, or is it just a job.  Tony Robbins, pioneering life coach and motivational speaker, addresses this in his talk posted on www.ted.com.

Tony goes on to ask what is our motivation to what we do, what drives you in your life today—stating that emotion is the force of life. After listening to this talk, I considered what he said, and agree—emotional is foundational to what we do in life.  During the short video, Toni pointed out a couple of key factors: the science of achievement and the art of fulfillment.

The science of achievement is simple—just as writing a business plan.   

      Write a great plan + follow the plan = Achieve great results.

The art of fulfillment however, is “the lesson of life thatis rarely mastered”.   Toni goes on to explain that the art of fulfillment is about appreciation and contribution.  He then challenges the audience to determine why they didn’t get what they wanted.  Many of the answers led to resources. 

The defining factor is resourcefulness, not the actual resources”. Utilizing human emotion is the turning point from the need for resources to locating one who is resourceful in that area.  If one can use their emotional being to connect with the passion for what they are purposed to do, that same emotion will trigger the emotion of the individual with the resources.  The important fact, however, knows which person will react to which emotion.

Ones state of mind, state of thought can and will determine why we do what we do.  Our needs have a strong influence on how we achieve and why we strive to achieve it.  Robbins mentions the 6 human needs: certainty, variety, significance, connection or love, which are, needs of the personalities; growth and the ability to contribute beyond ourselves are the needs of the spirit. 


This video is very inspirational and will cause you to think intensely about what you are doing. In turn, you will begin to find the tools necessary to achieve success in the areas you are emotionally connected.
