Wayne Walter Dyer

Spend some time observing babies. They don't work; they poop in their pants, and they have no goals other than to expand, grow and explore this amazing world. Be like that baby you once were, in terms of being joyful.

Your ability to be a winner 100 percent of the time is based upon giving up the notion that losing at anything is equivalent to being a loser.

View the events you consider obstacles as perfect opportunities to test your resolve and find your purpose.

The quickest method for understanding and living your purpose, is to ask yourself if you're thinking in loving ways.

Accept the fact that you'll never get it all done, and begin to live more fully in the only moment you have ... Now.

Critics hang around and wait for others to make mistakes. But the real doers of the world have not time for criticizing others. They are too busy doing, making mistakes, improving, making progress.

It's probably more fulfilling for me to be offering what I offer than it is for the people who receive it.

I think the way we show love for God is by loving each other, by extending the love that we are.

Most people think that God wants us to demonstrate our love for God by having churches and by having symbols - and I think that's a huge error.

There's a big difference between oneness and sameness. Oneness implies that we're all connected and that we all come from the same source. Sameness implies that we all have to do things and exactly think the same way as everybody else does.

I think anything that you can use to connect is fine. For some people it's meditation. For some people it's yoga. For some people, it's running. For some people, it's affirmations. For me, it's photographs and drawings, and affirmations, and statues, and crystals. I fill my writing space and I fill my home with symbols of what I think of as higher energy.

When you're connected to God, every moment is perfectly perfect.

When you're at peace, there's no counterfeit freedom.

You don't have to have more in order to be happy.

We're no better in God's eyes as Americans than Rawandans are, or anybody else.

If you ask every American out there what kind of a people we are, we would all say, \'Oh, we're really good people. We do good things in the world.\' Then you go around the world and ask what America is like, there's a completely different conceptualization of what we are.

We need to start thinking collectively as a people about what we should be looking at.

There's nothing that feels better than to do something nice for somebody. I mean nothing feels better.

My goodness, there's nothing that feels better than to meditate, than to get quiet, and then to be at peace, and to tell someone you love them.

It's much easier to be at peace than it is to hate somebody. It's much easier to love somebody than to fight with them.

So many of us have separated ourselves from our source and have lived on ego consciousness.

I always say, don't be a Christian, be Christ-like. Don't be a Muslim, be Mohammed-like. Be Buddha-like. Emulate these great spiritual Masters and what they were teaching.

Christ wasn't teaching people to hate Jews. He was a Jew himself. He wasn't teaching people to hate anybody who didn't believe as he did.

I do see more and more people who are moving away from traditional religions that exclude others and have hatred as their basis, as part of their ideologies, that conceptualize an angry God that is going to take retribution on all the people who are not a certain way.

I absolutely believe the species, the planet and the Universe can't survive if we function on hate.

We come from an abundant, endlessly providing, always forthcoming, always giving source. If we would just stay like that, if we would be forthcoming and giving and sharing and allowing, excluding no one, then it wouldn't be possible to have wars in the Middle East, or poverty in Africa, or any of these kinds of things.

In fact, everything that emanates from source emanates from a source of well-being. When we take on this ego consciousness, when we take on hate rather than love in our hearts, we create all of this divisiveness, and we create all of the problems, the struggles, the difficulties, the diseases, the poverty.

Living from the perspective at which you came from and returning to source really is an act of remembering, rather than an act of learning.

If you have a thought of hate, imagine a source that is responsible for creating everything in the Universe that's operating on hate. It wouldn't create things that it hated.

Anytime you have a thought, for example, that excludes someone, if you have a religion that excludes someone, then you've really left God behind, and you've really left your source energy behind.
