FEATURED STORY 

From amputation to champion surfer: Maria's time to rise 

Maria and Tony

Watch time: 12 min 5 sec | From Tragedy to Triumph 

 

During the bonus day of our Time to Rise Summit, participants experienced a story that embodied the true essence of a breakthrough. 

 

Maria do Sol stepped into our virtual spotlight to share her remarkable journey of transformation—from losing both legs in a tragic house fire at just 45 days old to discovering surfing at age 48 and becoming a two-time Brazilian Champion, now ranking sixth in the world in her category. 

 

"Life is not about controlling things but flowing with what happens," Maria said. It's a perspective that took decades to cultivate, born from her own breakthrough moment at Unleash the Power Within, where she first learned to rewrite her story in a new, empowered way. 

 

"Being able to share my story with Tony and our community felt like a miracle," Maria reflected after the Time To Rise Summit. "It's proof that when you keep growing and forgiving and learning, doors open in ways you never imagined." 

 

Her vulnerability struck a deep chord, sparking an outpouring of messages across our Time to Rise Facebook community.  

 

For Maria, this moment of sharing represented something bigger than personal triumph. "It's not about me," she explained. "We inspire each other. And if I have this platform to be in people's lives, that's a blessing—more than anything that can come from it." 

 

What if you looked at the challenges in your life through this lens of possibility? Every story of breakthrough begins with a decision to see your circumstances differently. Perhaps your greatest setback, like Maria's, is waiting to become the foundation of your most powerful contribution to others.

DEEP DIVE

The breakthrough formula: Why most people have it backward

In our last issue, Tony revealed that a breakthrough is a moment in time when everything changes—when what you thought was impossible suddenly becomes possible. And more importantly, it's when you act on it. 

 

The secret most overlook? Breakthroughs follow a specific sequence. In a recent video from Tony about creating lasting change, he reveals why starting with "how" can actually keep us stuck. 

Breakthrough

Watch time: 8 min | The 3 FASTEST Ways To Achieve Your Breakthrough 

 

Think of something in your life that you'd like to change. Then follow these three steps—in the right order—to create a breakthrough in any area of life: 

  1. Start with STATE: Energy is the foundation of all transformation. Ask yourself: Am I slumped over and defeated—or energized, ready to win? Psychology follows physiology. Get up, shake it out, jump around, do anything that sparks a radical change in your body and your state will change too. When your state is strong, you'll see new possibilities. 

  2. Then shift your STORY: Stories are simply beliefs we've repeated to ourselves. They either limit us ("I've tried everything!") or empower us ("I can rise above anything!"). Our stories can create blind spots that prevent us from seeing solutions. What's one story that's been holding you back in this area of life? Rewrite it today. Turn any forms of "I can't" into "I must" and watch how your options expand. 

  3. Finally, find your STRATEGY: With an empowered state and story, you're now primed to find the best approach. If your usual methods aren't working, ask: What's one new strategy I can try? Maybe it's talking to a mentor, reading a new book, or focusing on a different skill. The key is taking action—because a breakthrough only becomes real when you put it into motion. 

There are more powerful ways to make your breakthroughs last, but these three steps alone form a powerful sequence that can shift anything you’re facing!  

 

As Maria showed us in her remarkable journey from losing both legs to becoming a champion surfer—it's not about waiting for perfect conditions. It's about shifting your state, rewriting your story, and taking action even when the path isn't clear. 

 

We’re excited to see what this sparks for you and would love to hear your stories! Here’s to creating those “moments in time” when the impossible becomes possible—together. 

 

Remember what Tony says: "A breakthrough isn't just a thought—it's when you do something with it." What will you do with yours? 

TEAM TONY RECOMMENDS 

Our top 2 picks: 

🌟 ️Read: Our Time to Rise Summit drew in over one million people from around the world. One of those people, Brian Nori, got selected by Tony to share about a breakthrough in his health and inspired thousands of participants. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and barely able to walk, he attended a Tony Robbins event and broke free from all limitations of his diagnosis—creating a new identity that allows him to now live symptom free. In a recent blog article, Brian shares how Tony’s advice at the summit is now sparking a breakthrough in spreading his mission.   

🎬 Watch: “What if your focus on growth was the only thing limiting your growth?” In this powerful intervention, Tony challenges Tina, an event participant, with a transformational perspective that flips conventional thinking on personal development. As she breaks through her own limitations, we’re invited to reflect on the hidden ways our minds may be holding us back too.
