Earl Nightingale Motivational Quotations

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.

The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!

Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.

Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.

Open your ears before you open your mouth, it may surprise your eyes!

It is our attitude toward life that determines life's attitude toward us. We get back what we put out.

Each of us creates his or her own life largely by our attitude.

You can control your attitude. Set it each morning.

If we only knew that we could have anything we wanted we would set more goals.

The key that unlocks energy is desire. It's also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not.

One hour per day of study in your chosen field is all it takes. One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years you'll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
