Bobby giving the truth that matters
KEY POINTS TO REFLECT ON
In this interview, a lot of jewels of self-improvement are discussed. Some of these and their associated thoughts include:
- Bobby used a harrowing personal experience to transform himself, he used the pain as a motivational source of fuel, to change, to transform, to become the man he wanted to be
- Everyone feels nervous and put off trying new things at first, it is how you react to this that can change you as a person – just remember all the experts in the world all started as a shit-scared beginners … so if they can do it, why can’t you?
- You can learn more from the negative events than you will from the positive, with negative events and mistakes or failures is an ample learning experience. You only fail when you don’t get back up, when you don’t go again and try again. The only person you should try and beat, is the man you see in the mirror today, try and beat yourself tomorow in some aspect of youself today, be better in any way where possible.
- Self-work is some of the hardest things to do, to look truthfully at yourself and what is holding you back and dealing with it, and be honest and tackling their demons. Surface level changes will not be enough after a short time, you need to make deep level changes to unlock the next level in your life.
- To get motivated about something you need to feel value from it – find the source of motivation for doing it and you’ll find the value from it
- Pain drives power – where are sources of pain in your life and how could you use them to motivate yourself?
- You are the average of the people you hang around with – hang around with poor people and your average will be shit – hang with people who push you to be your best and your average will take you to places you never thought possible
- Purposeful practice is the only way to overcome negative talk that holds us back
- Try it! Take a risk and try it! You don’t need an in-depth plan, you don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need to try and do your very best. You will seriously surprise yourself … what is the worst thing that can happen … BUT what COULD happen?! You will only know by giving things a go!
- True change comes when you love what you do, when you see true value in what you are getting from the change
