I was a little skeptical about Tony Robbins at first. From the outside he appeared a bit too saccharine, a bit too full on. I thought his seminars looked like too much chest beating and too much firewalking for my tastes.
I consider myself fairly opened minded, and allot of things I assumed I wouldn't like have turned out to be some of my favorite things when I've given them a go. So I was happy to check out a Tony Robbins tape program that someone lent me.
I didn't take long - I was converted after the first tape. The guy has a charisma that is so infectious. His lessons are practical, and he is great at pointing out the obvious things that everyone else has overlooked. I don't agree with all of his ideas, but thats not to say they are wrong or ill though out, but not everything can apply to everyone.
As much as I am inspired by his wisdom, I am also inspired by the man himself. He's achieved so many things I want to achieve, and he embodies so many things I want to be, that i can't help but look up to him.
Here's a couple of nice squidoo pages on him http://www.squidoo.com/antonyrobbinscompanies/ and http://www.squidoo.com/about-anthony-robbins/

About 3 years ago I dropped into a black hole - four months of absolute terror. I wanted to end my life, but somehow [Holy Spirit], I reached out to a friend who took me to hospital. I had three visits [hospital] in four months - I actually thought I was in hell. I imagine I was going through some sort of metamorphosis [mental, physical & spiritual]. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis, up until this point in time. I actually thought I would be locked away, but the hospital staff was very supportive [I had no control over my process]. I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & guilt]. No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified]. I asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my "psychological prison" I am a practicing Catholic & the Holy Spirit is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing. I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities. John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He's a real person who is with me all the time. I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages [England & Australia]. God LOVES me so much. Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 - 17]. God sent his Son into the world to reconcile us to Himself (Col 1: 20.) Jesus Christ came not to tell us the answer to the universal problem of evil, but to overcome evil, sin and death by His everlasting love. Division and dissension, hatred and fear, aggressive power and exploitation could be conquered only by a gentle, suffering love unto death. By freely sacrificing his human life in dying for us, Jesus in His humanity was raised to glory by His Father's Spirit and is now able to live within us.
Peace Be With You
