I am never a fan of a certain influencer or personality, but I am a seeker of the best advice regardless of the mouth it comes from.

Among the big and small names you may hear and the pieces of advice that would change your heart, shock your world, and give you a good groundbreaking wake-up call — this was my best motivational speech ever:

“If you wanna take the fucking island burn your fucking boats; and you will take the island ’cause people when they’re gonna either die or succeed, tend to succeed.” — Tony Robbins

You may not like the guy, but Tony Robbins' advice knocks down any other, better advice by miles. Here’s my reasoning:

#1 — You Need To Feel The Heat

This, for me, is the winning factor. I can procrastinate until the sea goes dry and the seasons change six times. I used to pretend to be a risk-taker. Problem: I always try to jump with one leg on the shore. You probably know how this never works.
