Bears Quote by Tony Robbins

“To paraphrase the philosopher Nietzsche, he who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how. I've found that 20 percent of any change is knowing how; but 80 percent is knowing why. If we gather a set of strong enough reasons to change, we can change in a minute something we've failed to change…” quote by Tony Robbins

If we gather a set of strong enough reasons to change, we can change in a minute something we've failed to change for years.”
