Jack Canfields Quotes
"Self-esteem is a huge piece of my work. You have to believe
it's possible and believe in yourself. Because after you've decided what
you want, you have to believe it's possible, and possible for you, not
just for other people. Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches."
"I'm a big believer in growth. Life is not about achievement,
it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion,
patience, perseverance, love, and joy, and so forth. And so if that is
the case, then I think our goals should include something which stretches
us."
"I teach something called The Law of Probabilities, which
says the more things you try, the more likely one of them will work. The
more books you read, the more likely one of them will have an answer to
a question that could solve the major problems of your life.. make you
wealthier, solve a health problem, whatever it might be."
"I think there’s too much emphasis placed on learning things by rote that you don’t really care about. So what happens to students in school is that they eventually lose interest in learning, because they’ve been forced to learn the required courses, rather than pursing their passion." "If you want to be really successful, and I know you do,
then you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take total responsibility
for your life -- that means all your results, both your successes and your
failures. That is the prerequisite for creating a life of success." --
P.4-5
"If something doesn't turn out as planned, you will ask
yourself, 'How did I create that? What was I thinking? What were my beliefs?
What did I say or not say? What did I do or not do to create that result?
How did I get the other person to act that way? What do I need to do differently
next time to get the result I want?'" -- P.5
"You only have control over three things in your life
-- the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you
take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything
you experience. If you don't like what you are producing and experiencing,
you have to change your responses." -- P.9
"One of the easiest ways to begin clarifying what you
truly want is to make a list of 30 things you want to do, 30 things you
want to have, and 30 things you want to be before you die." -- P.28
"Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they
can." -- P.37 (Richard Bach)
"20% of America's millionaires never set foot in college,
and 21 of the 222 Americans listed as billionaires in 2003 never got their
college diplomas; 2 never even finished high school!" -- P.44
"I like Dr. Daniel Amen's 18/40/60 Rule: When you're 18,
you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when you're 40, you
don't give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when you're 60, you realize
nobody's been thinking about you at all." -- P.45
"Now, when anything 'bad' happens, I remember that everything
that ever happens to me has within it the seeds of something better. I
look for the upside rather than the downside. I ask myself, 'Where's the
greater benefit in this event?'" -- P.47
"What if you, too, were to greet every interaction in
your life with the question 'What's the potential opportunity that this
is?'" -- P.48
"To make sure a goal unleashes the power of your subconscious
mind...it must be stated in a way that you and anybody else could measure
it." -- P.51
"When Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked
a roomful of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of written goals, every
one raised their hands. When he asked how many of them had that list with
them right that moment, only one person raised their hand. That person
was Dan O'Brien. And it was Dan O'Brien who went on to win the gold medal
in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Don't underestimate the
power of setting goals and constantly reviewing them." -- P.55
"I first learned about the power of affirmations when
W. Clement Stone challenged me to set a goal so far beyond my current circumstances
it would literally astound me if I achieved it." -- P.79
"You can begin right now to act as if you have achieved
any goal you desire, and that outer experience of acting as if it will
create the inner experience -- the millionaire mindset, as it were -- that
will take you to the actual manifestation of that experience." -- P.92
"To demonstrate the power of taking action in my seminars,
I hold up a $100 bill and ask, 'Who wants this $100 bill?' Invariably,
most of the people in the audience will raise their hands. Some will wave
their hands vigorously back and forth; some will even shout out 'I want
it' or 'I'll take it' or 'Give it to me.' But I just stand there calmly
holding out the bill until they get it. Eventually, someone jumps out of
her seat, rushes to the front of the room, and takes the bill from my hand."
-- P.99
"No man ever became great or good except through many
and great mistakes."
"You can't cross a sea by merely staring into the water."
"According to John Troup, writing in USA Today, 'The average
Olympian trains four hours a day at least 310 days a year for six years
before succeeding.'"
"Part of paying the price is the willingness to do whatever
it takes to get the job done. It comes from a declaration that you are
going to get it done no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes,
no matter what comes up."
"To get over rejection, you have to realize that rejection
is really a myth. It doesn't really exist. It is simply a concept that
you hold in your head. Think about it. If you ask Patty to have dinner
with you and she says no, you didn't have anyone to eat dinner with before
you asked her, and you don't have anyone to eat dinner with after you asked
her."
"Persistence and determination along are omnipotent. The
slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the
human race."
"If you are going to be successful, you have to start
hanging out with the successful people. You need to ask them to share their
success strategies with you. Then try them on and see if they fit for you.
Experiment with doing what they do, reading what they read, thinking the
way they think, and so on. If the new ways of thinking and behaving work,
adopt them. If not, drop them, and keep looking and experimenting."
"The most successful people I've met love what they do
so much, they would actually do it for free. But they're successful because
they've found a way to make a living doing what they love to do. If you're
not skilled enough to do the work you'd love to do, make time to educate
yourself so you are. Do whatever it takes to prepare -- working part time
in your dream job or even volunteering as an intern -- while still maintaining
your current job."
"The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying
to make a living at doing what they enjoy most."
"Strategic Coach Dan Sullivan once stated that all entrepreneurs
are really con artists. They get other people to pay them to practice getting
better at what they love to do."
"If you surveyed your life and jotted down those activities
that brought you the most success, the most financial gain, the most advancement,
and the most enjoyment, you discover about 20% of your activity produces
about 80% of your success. This phenomenon is the basis for the Pareto
Principle, named after the nineteenth-century economist who discovered
80% of an enterprise's revenue comes from 20% of its customers."
"Make sure to immediately write down any impressions you
receive. Intuitive impressions are often subtle and therefore 'evaporate'
very quickly, so make sure to capture them in writing as soon as possible.
Recent research in neuroscience indicates that an intuitive insight --
or any new idea -- not captured within 37 seconds is likely never to be
recalled again. In 7 minutes, it's gone forever. As my buddy Mark Victor
Hansen likes to say, 'As soon as you think it, ink it!'"
"A recent management study revealed that 46% of employees
leaving a company do so because they feel underappreciated; 61% said their
bosses don't place much importance on them as people, and 88% said they
do not receive acknowledgement for the work they do."
"The first principle the money lender teaches Arkad is:
'A part of all you earn must be yours to keep.' He goes on to explain that
by putting aside at least 10% of his earnings -- and making that money
inaccessible for expenses -- Arkad would see this amount build over time,
and, in turn, start earning money on its own. Over an even longer time,
it would grow into a lot, because of the power of compound interest."
"Most of life is on-the-job training. Some of the most important things can only be learned in the process of doing them. You do something and you get feedback -- about what works and what doesn't. If you don't do anything for fear of doing it wrong, poorly, or badly, you never get any feedback, and therefore you never get to improve." Written by Famous Author : Jack Canfields
