More quotes by Earl Nightingale
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
Earl Nightingale
The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.
Earl Nightingale
We tend to minimize the things we can do, the goals we can accomplish, and for some equally strange reason we think other people can accomplish things that we cannot. I want you to understand that that is not true. You have deep reservoirs of talent and ability within you that you can bring to the surface and achieve all that you desire
Earl Nightingale
The key that unlocks energy is desire.
Earl Nightingale
With every adversity, there is an equal or greater gift. Keep looking for the gift.
Earl Nightingale
If we can augment our gift giving by giving more of ourselves to those we love, all the time and in various ways, we will have a good chance of helping them and ourselves live happier, better lives.
Earl Nightingale
These people get to the top because they have to, because inside them burns a dream too big, too ever present, too demanding to be denied.
Earl Nightingale
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.
Earl Nightingale
How can I be of the greatest service doing that which I most enjoy doing?
Earl Nightingale
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.
Earl Nightingale
Courage changes things for the better...[With courage you can] stay with something long enough to succeed at it, realizing that it usually takes two, three or four times as long to succeed as you thought or hoped.
Earl Nightingale
Excellence always sells.
Earl Nightingale
To become successful and outstanding at something, we don't have to come up with something new we need only find ways of doing it better.
Earl Nightingale
But the 3% who have taken the time and exercised the discipline to decide on a destination and to chart a course sail straight and far across the deep oceans of life, reaching one port after another and accomplishing more in just a few years than the rest accomplish in a lifetime.
Earl Nightingale
What happens inside always appears outside.
Earl Nightingale
It's never too late, for with a purpose, a worthy goal and a motivation to reach those upper layers on the pyramid, a person can travel further in a few years than he might otherwise travel in a lifetime.
Earl Nightingale
Preparation for life is so important. Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Opportunity is all around us. Are you prepared?
Earl Nightingale
All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.
Earl Nightingale
Don't catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.
Earl Nightingale
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!
