Wayne Dyer Best Quotes

You can paralyze yourself with perfectionistic do-your-best nonsense.

Even if you’re older, wiser, and richer than others and have more influence and power than they do, never assume that you know what’s best for anyone.

if you don’t feel fabulous, you have deviated from the path of who-you-really-are.

You are Source Energy, and there is a trajectory of ease. It is a path of least resistance, and you can feel when you’re on that trajectory, and you can feel when you get off it. The more you proclaim that you are on it, the more you are often off it and trying to get on it. Sometimes it is better just to take a nap.

Mark Twain: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.

To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else—means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

What was driving you was the trajectory of Well-Being. What was driving you was the understanding that you weren’t born to be dependent on someone else. And you did not come to use someone else as your excuse for not being in alignment.

if you were more unwilling to put up with negative emotion, your lives would go a whole lot better for you. You have trained yourselves to be willing to endure misalignment. And then you make decisions without the clarity that you’re talking about.

I am an extension of Source Energy, who has practiced my vibrational frequency into such alignment with my true nature that anything less than that feels off to me. And because I care about the way I feel, I guide myself easily now toward the things that feel good. And therefore, I am always on my path.

The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are to learn—pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then, after you have exhausted a million lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and geography and history and economics, why, you can start to make a cartwheel out of the appropriate wood, or spend fifty years learning to begin to learn to beat your adversary at fencing. After that you can start again on mathematics until it is time to learn to plough.”*

Worrying is normal. It is a basic function of every human. Life is full of problems; make no mistake about that. However, your ability to overcome different trials defines your victory, and not your ability to stick with it. Thinking of your problem over and over again will not help you solve it, thinking of a solution with a positive and healthy mind will.

All you need to do is sit down and take a breather. Do not just react negatively to the situation. Instead, respond with hope and a definite plan to get you out of that swamp. You do not need a “one size fit all solution”. All you need are the initial steps to get you going. If you will just focus your energy in resolving your issues rather than focusing on being paralyzed, there is a way out of it!

In this clever tale (a parable from Your Sacred Self by Dr. Wayne Dyer) two babies living in their mother's womb - call them Baby A and Baby B - are arguing whether there's life after delivery. Baby A considers the notion nonsense. How would they walk? How would they eat? What kind of life could such a life possibly be? Baby B insists that maybe they'll walk and eat and live in ways that they simply can't imagine right now, that maybe they'll have legs to walk on, that they might not need an umbilical cord anymore, that perhaps there'll even be a little more light. The argument continues, with Baby A shrewdly pointing out that no one has ever returned from After Delivery and that therefore is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. But Baby B in unconvinced; he insists that after delivery they will meet Mother and Mother will take care of them, a statement that Baby A finds utterly laughable. Because if Mother exists, he points out to Baby B, how can it be that no one has ever seen her?

Keep Your Ego at Bay; Stay Humble   Have you felt that urgent desire to feel important, to feel special and to feel way above over other people? As a graduate, do you think you have the best education and do you think you deserve that job opening more over the other guy? Do you think you have accomplished so much in life that you deserve better than your peers? If so, maybe your ego is getting the best of you. When you act based on your ego, there is a great chance that you will be at odds with the world and the people around you. You feel that you are more special than others because of your accomplishments, your education, your work and your possession. Because of that, you are failing to see others’ worth and importance. You only act based on what you think, because your opinion is the only one that matters. You barely admit mistakes; hence, you are depriving yourself of the opportunity to grow because you believe that you got everything you need. You are tarnishing your relationship with others by alienating them with your attitude. Ultimately, you are missing a lot in life! Dr. Dryer preaches about a life of humility and respect for one’s self and others. He always reminds his readers, students and followers to keep their ego at bay and stay humble. He believes in the universal truth that individuals are more common than different with each other; that no one is above someone or more special than others. He believes in the perfect being, the invisible force that created all of us, and so we are one and the same, just performing our own duty in this universe. Our ego stems from our desire to gain recognition from our achievements and hard work. There is nothing wrong with that. Humans crave to be recognized because it is one of the best feelings in the world. However, when you become overly attached to that idea and your entitlement, that is where ego comes in and it does more bad than good to you. The best way to be recognized is to stay humble and modest of your accomplishments. Your achievements sound the loudest when you are not telling it to everyone. You can only earn the highest of respect when you give the same amount of respect to others and to yourself. You can only feel truly special when you are not trying to be over someone else’s head, but rather carry others on your back to lift them up. That is what matters the most.

Keep in mind that no matter how perfectly you get your life in order, you will never be rid of all your problems. Problems are a way of life, always have been, always will be. But how you elect to view those problems is all up to you.” ― Wayne W. Dyer

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.

Earth is heaven. Or hell. Your choice.

Instead of believing that you know what’s best for others, trust that they know what’s best for themselves.

Finding your own metaphor for intuition is one of the best ways to give it form, an essential step in developing your intuitive thinking.

Living by Silent Knowing This is probably the best-known verse of the Tao Te Ching. In fact, the opening two lines (“Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know”) are so popular that they’ve almost become a cliché. Nevertheless,

Self-worth is what Matters   The very wall that stops people from seeing their true value is their constant desire to win other people’s approval and validation. Many are dependent on others to define their own value; hence, they are not seeking for self-worth. They are actually looking for other-worth.

If you appreciate and see yourself for what you are truly worth, then other people will appreciate. If you are truly happy for what you are, then other people can be truly happy to you as well. If you persistently pursue in building your self-worth, others will see you in the best possible way. The real important thing here is you do not care of what they think anymore. All that matters is your own opinion about yourself… and it is beautiful!

Later is never going to come, because it is always now, now, now, now, now. Now alignment or not. Now alignment or not. Now alignment or not. And when you show yourself that you can have now alignment, now alignment, now alignment, now you’re living the way you intended to live.

to define yourself. Instead of I am not good enough to get accepted, replace it with I am good enough. Teach your outer self to recognize the unlimited potential of your inner self. In this way, you imaginations can become reality.   45.- Stress and anxiety only exist in your mind

How we talk to ourselves after our mistakes can shape whether we shrink or grow from the experience. What we say to ourselves in the privacy of our own thoughts really matters. Why? To borrow a metaphor from best-selling self-help author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer: If I have an orange, what will come out when I squeeze it? Juice, of course. But what kind of juice will come out? Not pomegranate or kiwi. Orange juice. And like that orange, when we are squeezed, what’s inside is what will come out.

I realized that there is also a wake that each one of us leaves behind, consisting of everything that has ever come into our lives. This includes all the experiences we’ve had as well as our beliefs, everything that our parents, our religious training, our schools, and so forth have taught us with the best of intentions. You have to understand that nothing that constitutes your history is driving the boat called your life, any more than the wake in Florida was driving my friend’s boat. What drives your life is the present-moment energy you’re generating, not your past. Hanging on to this idea that you have to be the way you’ve always been because of what has happened to you is as fruitless as believing that the wake drives the boat. You have to let go of that notion.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy. ” ― Wayne W.

There is no need to stand for what is right. People are entitled to their own opinion and they are right in their own way. By choosing to be kind, you avoid the conflict of explaining why you are right. You are only feeding your ego for justifying the reasons why you are right. Choosing to be kind means accepting the reasons why people do what they do. By living your life in this manner, you drive away hostility and

never assume that you know what’s best for anyone.

unless you are in sync with the Source within you, the behavior that you’re offering is not inspired—it is motivated. It is not coming from Source; it is coming from the spinoff of Man’s conscious mind.

The thrill bumps that you experience are evidence of our enthusiasm for what you are experiencing in that moment. You think those thrill bumps belong only to you, but they are actually you resonating with the way we feel.
