We Don’t Get What We Want. We Get What We Tolerate. (This Humbled Me.)
“We teach people how to treat us. We don’t get what we want. We get what we tolerate — in ourselves and in others.”— Tony Robbins
I heard this quote years ago.
But it took a long time for me to truly understand it — and even longer to see how much it was shaping my personal and professional life.
At first, I thought my challenges were about:
- clarity
- timing
- opportunity
They weren’t.
They were about what I was tolerating:
- situations I avoided addressing
- standards I never clearly set
- habits I justified
- patterns I kept repeating
This quote humbled me because it quietly points the mirror back at us.
Awareness doesn’t change everything instantly —but it does change the direction.
Prompt: Where are you starting to see this show up in your own life?
