Earl Nightingale was an esteemed American self-development author who passionately wrote about subjects like motivation, realizing one’s own potential and achieving goals one sets for himself. Earl was a big proponent of using one’s mental faculties to change the circumstances of his life.

Here are 20 of Earl Nightingale quotes about using one’s mind power to change course of his life i.e. the Law of attraction:

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

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

• “All you have to do is know where you’re going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.” 

• “Every one of us is the sum total of his own thoughts.” 

• “We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.”

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

• “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.” 

• “The key that unlocks energy is ‘Desire’. It’s also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.”

• “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.”

• “Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.” 

• “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.” 

• “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.” 

• “If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.” 

• “The mind moves in the direction of our current dominant thoughts.”

• “Don’t talk about your health unless it’s good.”

• “Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh, receiveth. And he that seeketh, findeth. And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.” 

• “Think about your goal in a relaxed, positive way. Picture yourself in your mind’s eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you will be doing when you have reached your goal.” 

• “The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers.”

• “Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.”

• “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.”
