Earl Nightingale

Earl Nightingale (March 12, 1921 – March 25, 1989) was, in my opinion, one of the great American motivational speakers and authors, known as the “Dean of Personal Development.”

“Lead the Field” is a series of six discs comprised of mp3 audio tracks for 12 separate sessions.

The following has been taken from the Nightingale-Conant web-site:

“Hundreds of thousands of people have profited from the wisdom and savvy of Lead the Field!

In fact, it has often been referred to as the “Program of Presidents” because so many top executives have incorporated Earl’s guidance and wisdom into their management philosophies.

When you listen to this landmark program you’ll be awestruck by the simplicity and timelessness of Earl’s words and ideas.

• Double your mental capability
• Recognize and easily overcome the biggest stumbling block to high achievement
• Dramatically improve your luck by changing one simple thing
• Make success unavoidable with an easy 3-minute-a-day exercise
• Assess your potential worth, and start increasing it now

Lead the Field has arguably changed more lives and created more millionaires than any other program Nightingale-Conant has produced.”

The “Lead the Field” audio series constitutes a wealth of Earl Nightingale’s wisdom and can be played over and over again. In addition, several of his videos are available on YouTube, including “The Strangest Secret” and “The Boss” , and are well worth watching as well.

The Law of Attraction has been widely quoted throughout the Internet, largely on the basis of the release of “The Secret” and the books by Esther and Jerry Hicks. At the most extreme end of the Law of Attraction continuum, its advocates would have us believe that, in order to realize (or manifest) our hearts wildest desires, all we need to do is to visualize that desire and release it to the Universe in order for it to manifest into our lives. » Read the rest of the entry..

One of the most powerful tools we have available to us in Personal Development is Creative Visualization. However, Creative Visualization extends well beyond Personal Development in terms of applications and benefits, representing a powerful tool for Art, Architecture, Entertainment, Literature, Science, Technology, Philosophy … and so on. In fact, it is hard to conceive of a field in which Creative Visualization could not be or, more accurately, is not being utilized to advantage and represents one aspect of our Greatest Asset …. our Mind. » Read the rest of the entry..

Affirmations are simple statements of fact or desired intent (a goal or goals) repeated on a regular basis as a form of mental programming. The Coué Method was, arguably, the first example of the use of affirmations for improvement of health using Autosuggestion (alternatively considered a form of self hypnosis). As originally formulated, the Coué Method consisted of the phrase Every day, in every respect, I am getting better and better”. It has since been revised to Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better”.

In his book “Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion“, Emile Coué claims, from his own experience, that “Every illness, whatever it may be, can yield to autosuggestion … I do not say does always yield, but can yield, which is a different thing”. » Read the rest of the entry..

When consciously and actively utilized, Goals, ideally, represent the targets or objectives toward which we are actively working to fulfill.

Goal setting is the conscious, active process of identifying your goals.

How we go about identifying and setting our goals will, to a very large degree, determine how successful we are in our attempts to achieve those goals. Goals and goal setting are common themes in Personal development and the intent of this lens is to serve as an introduction to the concept. » Read the rest of the entry..

In reality, the Law of Attraction, as originally proposed by authors such as Charles Haanel and Napoleon Hill, consists of a PROCESS, a process which includes the critical and integral component of ACTION directed toward your goal. The key component of ACTION has been de-emphasized, and even omitted, by many proponents of the “Law of Attraction”, resutling in a “Something for Nothing” philosophy. Nowhere in the known Universe, as documented through science (and, most importantly to the “Law of Attraction”, physics itself), has the concept of “Something for Nothing” been documented. This is physically represented by the concept of the Perpetual Motion Machine. » Read the rest of the entry..

There is no doubt that we, each and every one of us, “creates” our own reality.  Our world comes to us through our five senses, specifically, sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.  The information from our senses are then processed by our minds according to pre-existing models in our mind, the models (“paradigms”) we continually develop from birth throughout life.  This reliance on existing models in order to process information allows our brain to handle the immense quantity of data received at any given moment. » Read the rest of the entry..

A comprehensive list of the resources I have tried, and applied, can be found on the Integrated Success Program blog. » Read the rest of the entry..
