Rise When You Fall

"For all of life is like that race,
With ups and downs and all.
And all you have to do to win,
Is rise each time you fall."

-- Dee Groberg


"[After speaking engagements] I've had hundreds of people approach me afterwards, asking for a copy to share with their son, daughter, friend, or coworker who was going through a difficult period in their life. So by experincing this reaction, I knew 'The Race' conveyed a message with universal appeal, and one that touched the souls of others, like it had done for me."

-- Mac Anderson and Dee Groberg, authors

Let The Child Grow Wings

"...We have to allow our child to grow wings and eventually fly away. Mistakes will be made, you'll have to loosen the controls, and finding a balance is never easy. Each stage of a child's life brings new challenges... and new joys."

-- Mac Anderson & Lance Wubbels, author
Paraphrased from: To a Child Love is Spelled "T-I-M-E


"There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: one is roots, the other is wings."

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

-- Abraham Lincoln

More Successes Than Failures

"The problem is that most people focus on their failures rather than their successes. But the truth is that most people have many more successes than failures."


"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."


"As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right."

-- Jack Canfield's

Happy New Year My Friend 2010

"I look to the new year and my wish for you;
Peace within your heart
Love from family and friends
Faith to guide your way
Hope to make it through each day
Sunshine to light the day
Heavenly Stars to wish upon
Rainbows to let you know there is a tomorrow
A tear to show compassion
A heart to hold the love
But most of all I wish for you
to feel my hand in yours,
To know I am here if you stumble or fall.
To bring you cheer, to bring you love,
to return the love you always share with us.
And A bright today with much to be thankful for.
A path that leads to beautiful tomorrows"

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIEND

From My House To Your House

Every Problem Has a Solution

"Success means successful living. When you are peaceful, happy, joyous, and doing what you love to do, you are successful."


"The power of sustained imagination draws forth the miracle-working powers of your subconscious mind."

-- Dr. Joseph Murphy

Accomplish Great Things

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also have a dream; not only plan, but also believe."

-- Anatole France


"Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's, is a great example of how to Finish Strong... 'I was 52 years old. I had diabetes and incipient arthritis. I had lost my gall bladder and most of my thyroid gland in earlier campaigns, but I was convinced that the best was ahead of me.'"

-- Dan Green, author
Finish Strong


"Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future."

-- Marilyn Ferguson

First Believe Its Possible

"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."


"Most fears cannot withstand the test of careful scrutiny and analysis. When we expose our fears to the light of thoughtful examination they usually just evaporate."


"If you’re passionate about what it is you do, then you’re going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it."

-- Jack Canfield's

Know Your Exact Point

"Think of a ship leaving a harbor. And think of it with the complete voyage mapped out and planned. The captain and crew know exactly where the ship is going and how long it will take- it has a definite goal. And 9,999 times out of 10,000, it will get there... It's the same with a human being."

-- Earl Nightingale, author
The Strangest Secret


"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."

-- Earl Nightingale


"When you want to encourage a greater sense of responsibility in others (and yourself), emphasize the anticipation of accomplishment, not the penalties for failure."

-- Roger Crawford

Take Action To Get It

"Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it."


"There are only two words that will always lead you to success. Those words are yes and no. Undoubtedly, you’ve mastered saying yes. So start practicing saying no. Your goals depend on it!"


"Self-esteem is based on feeling capable and feeling lovable."

-- Jack Canfield's

Aim For Service

"Aim for service and success will follow."

-- Albert Schweitzer


"Great customer service has to come from the inside out. You cannot mandate it. You can't threaten, reward, or coerce people to care. You can only awaken the desire and then give them the permission and encouragement to make it come alive at work."

-- Ken Blanchard & Barbara A. Glanz, author
The Simple Truths of Service


"It is easy to sit up and take notice, what is difficult is getting up and taking action."

-- Honore de Balza

Foundation To Success

"You can't focus on the war instead of the battle until you are crystal clear about what the war is -- what your personal goals are. Figure out the game you are playing -- figure out where you plan to be when you reach your goals -- and that clarity will become the foundation of your success."


"Fighting against what you don't like is less important and less productive than fighting for what your like. Making more of what's good is more virtuous and more productive than trying to eliminate what's bad."


"Put more goodness in the world, and a corresponding amount of evil will disappear, without having to win any battles against it."

-- Peter S. Temes

like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself..."

-- Norman Wesley Brooks
"Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976


"It is the personal thoughtfulness, the warm human awareness, the reaching out of the self to one's fellow man that makes giving worthy of the Christmas spirit."

-- Peter S. Temes

"Don't underestimate the benefits of regular exercise. Thirty to forty-five minutes a day, three to four times a week is a small price to pay for a healthy body and a healthy mind."

--Mac Anderson, author
The Nature of Success


"What are you doing today that will improve your life?"

Choose Between Good and Better

"To Stay Focused in Life:

You can't know everyone
You can't do everything
You can't go everywhere

We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better."

Listen To See If You Can Learn Something

"Ken Blanchard said, 'I go out into the world every day wit the attitude that my "okayness" is not up for grabs. That doesn't mean I don't have areas of my life that need improvement-just that at my basic core, I'm okay. If people give me negative feedback, or criticize something I do, my self-esteem permits me to listen in a non-defensive way-looking to see if there is something I can learn.'"

-- Mac Anderson, author
Charging the Human Battery

The Law Of Attraction

"The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thought life. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking. Thought rules the world."

-- Barbara A. Glanz, author

-Tom Ascker, author

"We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are."


"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care"
