Dr. Wayne Dyer - 22
Lessons I Learned
by Chris
Knight
Dr. Wayne Dyer is a popular motivational
speaker and author. His recent books include The Power of Intention, Ten
Secrets For Success & Inner Peace, Getting in the Gap and Everyday
Wisdom. I've been studying Dyer's principles for the past 22 years and
here are the top 22 lessons I've learned from him:
- You get whatever you think about most.
Whatever you think about expands… and therefore, we must be
careful to not think about what we do not want.
- You can never get enough of what you
don't want. Why? Because we're thinking about what we don't want and
we keep getting more of it. From an abundance and prosperity
perspective, it can be costly (meaning you can lose great
opportunities) to contemplate the conditions you do not want to
produce for your life…for fear of getting more of what you don't
want.
- Think from the end. I'm a big believer
in starting with the end outcome and working backwards to reach it.
Dyer takes a more mental approach to it as he encourages you to
contemplate yourself surrounded by the people, events, and things
that represent your version of a "perfect life."
- An attitude of gratitude will take you
a long way. Rumi said, "Trade your knowledge for
bewilderment." It is good to be in awe of all that you have
attracted into your life and the more you are grateful for that -
the more that will flow freely into your life.
- Paraphrasing Dyer: There are no
branches of any trees that think it is wise to fight with each
other. In other words, there is no value in fighting with others as
we are all from the same metaphorical human tree of life. There is
an old zen saying that goes something like this: Whatever you are for,
strengthens you and whatever you are against, weakens you.
- It is only natural to have abundance
and prosperity in your life. It is unnatural to resist the gifts you
have been given in life to share with others. Therefore act
confidently with a "knowing" that you already have all of
the resources you need to succeed.
- You must be independent of the opinion
of others. No one can make you into what you are not. You are
responsible to no one for your actions and thoughts except yourself.
In addition, you are not in control of your reputation. All you can
control is yourself and how you act on a day to day basis.
- You alone choose your emotional state
each day. No one can make you feel any different than you choose to
feel on any day. Therefore take full responsibility for the
emotional states that you choose to embrace each day.
- You are not your body nor are you the
possessions that you believe you have. You are timeless; perfect;
…just the way you have forever been and will forever be. You are a
spiritual being having a human experience. Live your truth.
- Meditation can help you solve problems
and achieve inner peace. While mental visualization of your
intentions or goals are a good thing to do, think of
"meditation" as quieting your mind to achieve a place of
"no where" -- It's one of the best ways to center
yourself.
- Your EGO is often at odds with
universal laws and principles. Best to identify when you are acting
from ego vs. acting from your true authentic self. Your ego wants
you to feel special and different than others but the reality is
that we share more in common than we have differences. Focus on
radical humility and respect for yourself and others in order to
keep your ego at bay. You can only extend to another that which you
are in truth.
