Why It Makes Perfect Sense To Never Give Up On Your Dream
Wisdom from the greatest motivational expert in history
Have you ever wondered if it makes sense to give up on a quest, desire or dream? Maybe you want to publish a book, become an artist, salesperson, or expert in sea turtles.
I don’t know what your professional dream is, but I’m going to share wisdom from Earl Nightingale that will change the way you think about pursuing your dream.
Nightingale was, and some say still is, the foremost expert in personal development and motivation. He died in 1989, but his teachings are every bit as relevant today as they were decades ago.
Like everyone else, I get frustrated and distraught when I experience a setback and realize it’s going to take me another six months, twelve months or longer to achieve a dream.
Few things demotivate me more than the idea of a far off timeframe.
I keep this quote in a prominent location to remind me of the absurdity of giving up on a goal, merely due to the length of time it will take.
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway — Earl Nightingale
