More From Tony Robbins

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.

Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
Spiritual Pain Journey
Life is both pleasure and pain, is it not? but why should we cling to pleasure and avoid pain? why not merely live with both? if you cling to pleasure what happens? you get attached, do you not?
Spiritual Pain Why Not
When you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. the mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. and pleasure really is a non-existent thing. when we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. pleasure is pain because we're grasping.

There is some comfort in killing that which has hurt you, but it is cold comfort. it'll destroy things inside of you that the original pain wouldn't have harmed. sometimes it's not a question of whether a piece of your soul is going to go missing, only which piece it's going to be.
