Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts. - Earl Nightingale
Each of us must live off the fruit of his thoughts in the future, because what you think today and tomorrow, next month and next year, you will mold your life and determine your future. You are guided by your mind. - Earl Nightingale
Before you can achieve the kind of life you want you must think, act, talk, and conduct yourself in all of your affairs as would the person you wish to become. - Earl Nightingale
Become a sponge for information that will help you on your way. You don’t have to waste years making the mistakes others have made before. - Earl Nightingale
Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet. - Earl Nightingale
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination. - Earl Nightingale
All you have to do is hold your goal before you and everything else will take care of itself. - Earl Nightingale
A leader is any person who realizes the importance of becoming a bigger and better person with the passing of every day, week and month. - Earl Nightingale
A good deal of frustration and unhappiness could be avoided if people would just do what they know they should do. - Earl Nightingale
If a person is working toward a pre-determined goal and knows where they’re going, that individual is a success. If they’re not doing that, they’re a failure. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. - Earl Nightingale
One thing a goal must do is fill us with positive emotion when we think about it. The more intensely we feel about a goal the more progressively we’ll move toward it. - Earl Nightingale
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. - Earl Nightingale
Now it stands to reason that a person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that’s what he’s thinking about – and we become what we think about. Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn’t know where he’s going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear, and worry will become what he thinks about. - Earl Nightingale
Life can only return to you that which you sow. What do you have to sow? You have great wealth; you can think, you have talent, and you have time. - Earl Nightingale
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. - 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
Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away. - Earl Nightingale
I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on this beautiful and astonishing planet Earth. In the morning, I wake up with a sense of gratitude. - Earl Nightingale
