My Top 10 Quotes from Earl Nightingale

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations. It is our attitude toward life that determines life’s attitude toward us. We get back what we put out.

5. 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!

6. When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself

7. Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. You are now, and you do become, what you think about. 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.

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

9. A person who does not read is no better than one cannot read.

10. 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.
