Jack Canfield Quotes

Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.

Clarity of vision is the key to achieving your objectives.

You can have the best product in the world, you can have the best motivation in the world, you can have best education in the world, you can have all the money in the world - but if you don't have direction, you'll never go anywhere.

I think it helps if you have a clear vision of what you want.

If you don't have a vision, you can never be focused in a direction.

I am busy with my work. My path is clear.

Priorities and purpose help keep us on track.

When we have no goal, or when our vision of the goal is obscured, we may lose our sense of purpose. Even when we've prepared ourselves well and have an aptitude for a given activity, poorly directed efforts can rob us of vital energy. We can spend a great deal of our time, money, and other resources running around in circles. Unless we create specific goals that match our purpose in life and unless we keep a clear vision of these goals, we may eventually falter and fail.

The more clear you are about what you want, the more motivated and determined you will be to accomplish it.

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.

Clarity is the most important thing. I can compare clarity to pruning in gardening. You know, you need to be clear. If you are not clear, nothing is going to happen. You have to be clear. Then you have to be confident about your vision. And after that, you just have to put a lot of work in.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Goals help you overcome short-term problems.

You've got to have a vision. You've got to have a message.

Vision with action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

The most important thing to keep in mind in being effective is focus.

What we can control is our performance and our execution, and that's what we're going to focus on.

I'm very objective driven, so for me it's very important to know who I'm fighting, when I'm fighting, and roughly the direction I'm working in. It gives me that little extra push to do what I need to do to get the sessions, to work towards something.

I start with an end in mind. In everything.

Focus and simplicity...once you get there, you can move mountains.

The bigger the 'why' the easier the 'how'.

Knowing where you are going takes the uncertainty out of getting there

Without goals our efforts may be scattered and unproductive.

The successful leader must plan his work and work his plan.
