Law of Attraction: Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret

Earl Nightingale (March 12, 1921 - March 25, 1989) was an American motivational speaker and author, known as the "Dean of Personal Development." He was also the co founder of the Nightingale-Conant corporation which has been the world leader in personal development audio programs for over 50 years. He is most known for his audio recording The Strangest Secret In The World which was the first audio recording that sold over a million copies.

The Strangest Secrets underlying message is that "we become what we think about".  Earl stated that he used the title 'The Strangest Secret' because the irony of it all, which is that this truth of why we become, whatever it is we become, is no "secret" at all, and therefore, he felt that it was "strange" that we don't all know about it!

Here are 21 Powerful and Thought Provoking Quotes from Earl Nightingale's, The Strangest Secret:

All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.

Everything begins with an idea.

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.

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 its at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be whether they will admit that or not.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.

The big thing is that you know what you want.

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!

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

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.

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.

We tend to live up to our expectations.

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

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

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

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

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

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