The Wisdom of Wayne.....

One of my favorite authors and inspirational people who I look up to is Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer has been sharing inspirational message and positive thoughts for many years. He is deeply inspiring and brings power to the idea of “life is a gift” and we must “stay in the present.” Lately a life learning lesson for me is that living in the present is the only place where I can find my joy.

Some of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s quotes that I love are as follows:

• Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
• When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
• If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
• Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
• It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.
• Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.
• It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
• Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
• Conflict cannot survive without your participation.
• Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.
• Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.
• Our intention creates our reality.
• Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
• Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.

Dr. Dyer focuses a lot about being true to you, and not about judging others. Sometimes we look at people through our own lens and think that we are RIGHT because that is what we know, What if we take a step back and put ourselves in someone else’s shoes? What if we drop our judgment and try to understand others? What if we care enough to hear someone’s story?

I challenge you today to think about something or someone that you find yourself judging. Take time to think about life through this/their lenses of life. Take this to the next level and if it is someone find out their story. As Dr. Dyer quotes “Real magic comes from an absence of judging others." Let's work on making the world a better place!
