The Holy Land

Todays Blog is coming to you from the Holy land. Jerusalem.
Im here with Tony Robbins and about 50 of the Anthony Robbins platinum partners.

The Platinum Partnership has been a dream of mine to join since Mum started playing Tony Robbins CDs to us kids when we were in Primary School.

The Plats are a group of people who are all kicking ass. Its not an easy group to join, there are only 100 members every year across the Globe.

The Mission statement for Plats is "Planet is our playground, Love is our legacy"

The Platinum Partnership directly supports the Anthony Robbins Foundation which feeds more than three million people in 56 countries every year and has supported some amazing programs. Here in Israel we supported a soccer program in the middle of the most volatile and conflict effected area's, we took bullet proof busses to the soccer field and to visit some youth peace leaders from Jewish, Muslim and Christian back grounds, Tony created a program to take young people from these and many other different religions,extreme people who wanted to kill each other, We got to have dinner with the kids from this program Tony created here 3 years ago and these young people shared their story how they went from literally trying to kill each other to now being best friends and working every day to build peace among all religions and get these conflicted areas focused on Humanity. This was one of the most moving things Ive ever been apart of.

oh yeah and our Bullet proof bus broke down in the middle of hebron!

The reason I joined this group is to be around and learn from the people who are the best on the planet at what they do.
The reason im here is to learn and grow, and to develop the skills to help others grow.

One of the Guys in the group built his company to 12 billion dollars in Value. This group all are over achievers and they hold you to a higher standard. Proximity Is power.



We arrived in Israel and spent 3 days in jerusalem.
We had the leading Professor of Religion come and present to us and take us to all the Locations, the Holy Places for the Jew's, the Muslims, Christians and many other religions that most of us haven't heard of before.

The purpose of our trip is to understand conflict and how conflict holds us back, Conflict holds countries back, Conflict holds religious Groups back, Conflict Holds Companies back but also it holds individuals back, Inner conflict.


The work that Tony was teaching us is that conflict begins when your story of how things should be doesn't line up with how things actually are.
That stress, fear, conflict can only happen when people are focused on either the future or the past, there is no such thing as any of those emotions if you live and focus on the now.

The punch line for this trip is "Change your Story, Change your life"

The brain is seperated into 2. the experiencing self and the remembering self

the experiencing self is existing in the now, it can only hold a memory for 3 seconds, anything after that has to go to your memory, Your brain uses stories as its filing system, So it doesn't matter what your experience is like, what will effect you is the story you attach to that experience.

Tony taught us how to go back to and attach empowering stories to events that are causing inner conflict and use them as power to fuel your fire.


This is a place that moves you.

I'll Check in again soon.
