Stand Your Ground

Motivational Power Quote

Stand Your Ground

“Every oak tree started out

as a couple of nuts,

who decided to stand their ground.”

Peter F. Ducker, Management Expert

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Stand your ground


As the wind of change blow we may bend in the wind, but stand your ground. Put down deep roots to keep you standing strong in the turbulent times in our lives.


The longer you remain standing the deep your roots will become and the stronger you become.


Like a majestic oak tree put down the roots of your convictions and you will stand strong.


Stand your ground and you will stand for success.

Life is Like a Tree

Motivational Power Quote

Life is Like a Tree

“A life is like a tree- -

if you don’t make it straight

when its young and green,

you’ll never do it when

it’s old and dry.”

Source unknown

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Life is like a tree.


A tree to grow and survive needs to put down deep roots. In life to grow we have to put down the deep roots of our core values.


Our values guide us through our life and much like a tree our values have to be straight to grow properly. The earlier in our lives that we learn that lesson the straighter our life grows and becomes.


Nurture your values and your values will provide the shade through out your life.


Life is like a tree and we have to put down deep roots to survive the storms in our life.

Be Green and Grow

Motivational Power Quote


When We’re Green We’re Growing


“Life is growth.
If we stop growing,
technically and spiritually
we are as good as dead.”
Monihei Ueshiba


As I see it. . . . . . . .
When we are green we are growing.

Like the mighty oak tree that starts’s its life cycle as a small acorn. The tree takes root and though out its life continues grows.

A mature oak tree can grow to reach 100 feet or more in height.

Our live in many respects is like an oak tree.

Once we take root there is a need to continue to grow and mature through out our life. Our growth involves our personal, our profession and our spiritual growth.

As we grow we become a stronger person and we put down very deep roots, the strength of our roots supports our growth and provides the fuel for our success journey.

The person that elects not to grow has make a choice; and much like an oak tree with no roots, they will wittier and die.

Make the choice to be green and continue to grow.
