  Tony Robbins was a successful car crash attorney before he found success with his motivational speaking career. After a car accident that left him with severe injuries, Robbins decided he would go into the legal profession as a lawyer. While attending law school, Robbins took a philosophy course that dealt with doctrine and legal issues. One night, while reading an article in the New York Times on the subject of chronic pain and its effects on one's wellbeing, Robbins came across an instance of a man who'd gotten compensation for the suffering due to a car accident.

At one stage, we can also get so close to achieving our security and stability that we get carried away by ego and start to prioritize ourselves over others, which normally leads us to do things that are counter-productive.
