Some of the most famous Earl Nightingale Quotes are as follows.
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.
Do what you want and realize your dreams. Those who realize their dreams can achieve it too. Everybody has a different dream and each dream is worthy enough to get achieved by them.
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
We can start a journey only when we know the destination. We must have a clear vision of our goals and then work hard to achieve them. Those who are unsure of their aim in life and don't know what to do often suffer and fail.
Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.
Thinking is a powerful weapon that humans have. Those who think positive get positive results; those who think negative get negative results. One should always be aware of his beliefs and thoughts. That can make a whole lot of difference.
All you need is the plan, the roadmap, and the courage to press on to your destination.
The first step towards success is the aim or destination where you want to reach. Once you fix your purpose, you should focus on how to achieve it and start acting on the plans.
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.
When you are not sure of your success, you are not likely to get results. You have to be sure of your capabilities, and then only you can achieve what you wish to. Our beliefs will direct us towards our goal.
Picture yourself in your mind's eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
One needs to think of success before achieving it. Until and unless you believe in yourself, you will never be able to achieve it. Imagining yourself in the position you wish to be will motivate you to work hard towards your dream.

There is a time when one must decide either to risk everything to fulfill one's dreams or sit for the rest of one's life in the backyard.
If you want to do big in life, you have to risk it all. If you don't take risks in life, you can never do wonders. Playing safe won't fetch you an extraordinary life. Until and unless you do something extraordinary, you will never get anything unusual.
People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be–whether they will admit that or not.
No matter how much a person denies but he is exactly where he wants to be. Those who dream big, work hard for it and never settle for less no matter how or what the circumstance is.
We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.
Everybody faces dark times in their lives. No one's life is a smooth sailing boat but those who use their mind, take the right steps and plan, often succeed in life. It's our responsibility to turn our dark times into bright days.
The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice… it is conformity.
Conformity is the biggest enemy of a man. One should never conform and adhere to the rules that society throws at them. Courage is doing what you want and expressing how you feel, no matter if others don't approve of it or not.
Don't concern yourself with the money. Be of service … build … work … dream … create! Do this and you'll find there is no limit to the prosperity and abundance that will come to you.
People nowadays are obsessed with materialistic goods and wealth. When we focus on what we do and our service, we get better results, and money will come eventually in our way. When we focus on doing better, we get what we deserve and dream about.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.
'Now' is the moment. Whatever we wish to do, we should do it now. Life is short. We should enjoy each and every moment of our lives to its fullest. We should not worry about the future and think about the past rather, we should be happy and live the present moment.
Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.
What we do, what actions we take, and how much energy we invest in it gets reflected in our reality. If we work hard, we try to become better than before and have a positive outlook towards life, we will surely succeed and have a good life.
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.
Time and tide wait for none. When we love our dreams, we work hard for them; no matter how many hours' days, or years it takes, we stick to our goals. We should value our dreams the most and don't let the thought of time passing by affecting us in any way.
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.
One should always know what he wants. You should always do what you love the most. When you love your job, you never get tired of it. When you do something forcibly, the outcomes are often not so overwhelming.
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else.
Nobody works for someone else. Even if you think you are working under a team or a boss, you are just working for yourself. You invest your time and energy for betterment in your life; nobody forces you to do so. You invest in yourself, and you thereby work for yourself only.
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.
A great attitude works wonders for a person. When someone knows the way to approach things optimistically and properly, we get several opportunities in life. We become happy and live a life worth living.

Work never killed anyone. It's the worry that does the damage. And the worry would disappear if we'd just settle down and do the work.
Worrying kills people not work. We worry way too much about fulfilling our dreams, how much effort and hard work it requires and that becomes a bane for us. One should just sit down and start working on his dreams.
Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.
Like love, fear is also omnipresent in everyone's life. One should always deal with fear strongly. We fear when we don't know enough. When we know what to do, what actions to take, and how to handle the situations, we don't fear anything in life.
We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
We can either blame the circumstances that life has put us in or take responsibility and realize that those circumstances are the outcomes of our actions at some point or the other and live our lives just the way we want. We should therefore take responsibility and work accordingly.
