I have done another post on Earl Nightingale but the post would have been too long if I included the Earl Nightingale quotes. He is a man of many wise words and I am not just saying this. The man has been inaugurated on the National Speakers Association Hall of Fame. So this post is just dedicated to the words from the legend that is Earl Nightingale. If you can please read and take each one of them in because they are priceless nuggets of wisdom.

What was your favourite quote? Number 61 supports exactly what Rory Vaden means when he says, Success Is Never Owned, It Is Only Rented: The Rent Axiom
Earl Nightingale was a man who believed that anyone can improve their life if they put their mind to it. Whilst we all have different circumstances through utilising the one powerful thing that we have, our mind, we can rise above circumstances and grasp the success we so desire. This was Earl Nightingale’s message through and through.
In his own words, “Each of us is at this moment standing in the midst of his or her own acres of diamonds. Explore the pasture you are in. Don’t run from one thing to another forever looking for the pot of gold. Stay where you are until you find what you seek.” Sometimes we miss opportunities right before us, thinking that success is somewhere else. Earl Nightingale encourages that we look around us and within. So as you go about your life, start exploring opportunities right before you. How can you improve? What solutions are needed in your neighbourhood, at your work, in your home etc. Therein could be your next opportunity. Most inventors came up with outstanding innovations from right within their home and most things we use today are a result of someone who wanted to solve a problem.
I find Earl Nightingale inspiring because when we awaken to the fact that we can change our lives then we are empowered. We do not need to pay anyone or anything to get started. We can start by changing our attitudes and having the willingness to be the creator in our own lives. That willingness will open doors and opportunities. When we are willing, we are eager to learn, we ask questions and are ready to act. It all starts with attitude.
