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

The big thing is that you know what you want.
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!
Earl Nightingale

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.
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 all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.
Earl Nightingale

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.
Earl Nightingale

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
Earl Nightingale

We tend to live up to our expectations.
Earl Nightingale

We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
Earl Nightingale

What's going on in the inside shows on the outside.
Earl Nightingale

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

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

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

You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own "acres of diamonds."
Earl Nightingale

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.
Earl Nightingale

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.
Earl Nightingale

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
Earl Nightingale

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