Quote

After a while, we start really believing these things are true. People who have had self-defeating behaviors for a long time, such as people who have been overweight since they were children or people with longtime addictions, actually believe there is no other alternative.

Writing isn't something I do, writing is something that I am. I am writing - it's just an expression of me.
Wayne Dyer
Image
We are all individualized expressions of God, of oneness. But we do have personality differences. Everyone who has had more than one child knows that they come in with personalities. The moment they come in - some come in screaming, some sleep through that first night and stay peaceful the rest of their lives - you see the differences.
Wayne Dyer
Image
What we are doing is deeply unfair and a profound tragedy - what we're doing in the way of global warming, what we're doing to the oceans - and none of it makes any sense to me.
Wayne Dyer
Image
I don't think goal setting is an important basis for a retail business. Most of the time goal setting puts too much energy and attention on being someplace else, instead of helping you appreciate where you are.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Retailers should not be filling their minds with all the things that are wrong, with how the economy is going, or with trying to get someplace in the business world. They should enjoy being in this moment and in this day and serving the people who come in.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Our thoughts are a field of energy cycles, a mind field, and just by our thoughts alone we impact not only ourselves but those around us as well.
Wayne Dyer
Image
What you see is evidence of what you believe.
Wayne Dyer
Image
When we send Love in response to hate, we become spiritual alchemists.
Wayne Dyer
Image
It's all perfect, this Universe we are in. Slow down and enjoy it all.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Remain faithful to the light... Remember, the sun is shining behind the clouds.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Self-actualized people are independent of the good opinion of others.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Let go of your ego's need to be right. When you're in the middle of an argument, ask yourself: Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the joyous, loving, spiritual mode, your connection to intention is strengthened.
Wayne Dyer
Image
If you take a glass of water and separate it from its source - the ocean - then pour the water away from its source and ask it to sustain life, it flitters away. It just evaporates. It can't sustain life. That's a metaphor for us when we separate ourselves from our source and believe that God is separate from us.
Wayne Dyer
Image
If others hurt you, let the injury go. This is your test. If you let it go, you will find serenity.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.
Wayne Dyer
Image
I am thankful to all those who said no. It's because of them, I did it myself.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Anonymously perform acts of kindness, expecting nothing in return-not even a thank you.
Wayne Dyer
Image
I believe we came from nowhere. We show up, and we are now here. It's all the same. It just is a question of spacing.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Everything that happens to us has a blessing built into it.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Gratitude is a sacred space where you allow and know that a force greater than your ego is always at work and always available.
