If we were to take the quote above and drain every drop of self improvement goodness from it (something we should do with all inspirational quotes), we’d realize a few things:
- First of all, we should make certain that we feel as strongly about our goals as we think we do. Have you ever found yourself struggling with a particular goal or dream only to realize it isn’t even your dream? That, in fact, you’re actually trying to live up to someone else’s goal for your life? There’s a reason that doesn’t work – YOU have to feel strongly and passionately about the goal or dream. It has to be YOUR dream. YOUR vision. YOUR passion. If it’s someone else’s dream, let them work on it while you work on your own.
- How do you make sure the idea is “buried deep” in your subconscious mind? At the risk of grossly oversimplifying… you put it there! Think about the goal you want to achieve and think about it often. You aren’t working some sort of mumbo jumbo – trying to bring the fulfillment to you, you are taking yourself to the fulfillment. Proactive beats inactive or reactive every single time when you’re going after goals. Goals and dreams aren’t on wheels, you can’t coax them to come to you, you have to lace up your own skates and roll to them. Frequently thinking about these objects of desire puts the wheels in motion. This particular step is why things like “vision boards” (picture collages of images that represent goals and dreams) are so popular. It’s also why so many experts recommend “picturing” yourself where you WANT to be. Both of these exercises are ways of burying the idea deep in your subconscious.
- When you’ve put your subconscious mind on the path to your goals, let it works its magic. You’ll find yourself with fresh ideas for making your way down this particular path.
Your subconsciousness is your own personal superhero and he/she is just waiting for you to call them to action.

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. – Earl Nightingale
Thank you so much for sharing such insight. What resonated with me most was, “Have you ever found yourself struggling with a particular goal or dream only to realize it isn’t even your dream?”
YES! But the awareness was the first step to asking the subconscious to lift the veil to the truth, and voila! 🙂
I truly believe in positive daily affirmations, I like to wake up and say “I am happy, healthy, and terrific, people like me and I am good at what I do!”
Sometimes I throw in that I am a fat burning machine 😉
Jen, I love it!I need to start telling myself I’m a money making fool!
