26 Powerful Quotes by Wayne Dyer

Looking for quotes by Wayne Dyer? He was one of the most influential people in the world who was all about helping to improve the quality of people’s lives.

You see, most of us are constantly looking outside of ourselves trying to define what life is made up of. Things like, how much is in my bank account, how many cars I drive, what schools my kids attend, how big my house is and a bunch of other things. Life seems to be made up of some sort of contest, right?

So what happens after we’ve achieved all of these things? What’s left? Emptiness?

What would it be like to live your life as a work of art that is in progress? Wayne Dyers spoke a lot about trying new perspectives. Instead of how much can I get or how far can I go with this or that. Start to think about things like:

How will my humanity unfold in this lifetime?

What would I like for people to say about me once I am gone?

What do I want my legacy to be about?

These are all great questions to ask ourselves on a daily basis.

Quotes by Wayne Dyer to spark a new journey

“How people treat you is their karma; how you reach is yours.”

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.”

“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.”

The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to just be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

“To be more childlike, you don’t have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously. Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe.”

“The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do, is a backwards way of assessing and living life.”

“Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciate and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe.”

“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”

“Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.”

“You can either be a host to God or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.”

“Self-worth comes from one thing – thinking that you are worthy.”

Quotes by Wayne Dyer that inspires hope

“Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.”

“Conflict cannot survive without your participation.”

You aren’t your work, your accomplishments, your possessions, your home, your family…your anything. You’re a creation of your Source, dressed in a physical human body intended to experience and enjoy life on Earth.

“Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others.”

“Become slower in your journey through life. Practice yoga and meditation if you suffer from ‘hurry sickness.’ Become more introspective by visiting quiet places such as churches, museums, mountains and lakes. Give yourself permission to read at least one novel a month for pleasure.”

“If you have passion, there is no need for excuses because your enthusiasm will trump any negative reasoning you might come up with. Enthusiasm makes excuses a nonissue.”

“In my own life I know that my state of cheerfulness is a reliable gauge of my level of spiritual enlightenment at that moment. The more cheerful, happy, contented, and satisfied I am feeling, the ore aware I am of my deep connection to Spirit.”

“Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing.”

“Within all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.”

“When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.”

“The child inside you knows how to take things as they come, how to deal most effectively and happily with everything and everyone it encounters on this planet. If you can recapture that childlike essence of your being, you can stay ‘forever young at heart.’

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.”

“Judgement prevents us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.”

I am a big believer and witness that once you start to get more in tuned with yourself beyond accumulating ‘things’, all the success and achievement will begin to matter less and less, but they will definitely show up more and more in your life.
