Motivation Is When You Get Hold Of An Idea And Don't Let Go Of It Until You Make It A Reality. Inspiration Is The Reverse - When An Idea Gets Hold Of You And You Feel Compelled To Let That Impulse Or Energy Carry You Along. You Get To A Point Where You Realize That You're No Longer In Charge, That There's A Driving Force Inside You That Can't Be Stopped.

More From Wayne Dyer

I'm Sixty-eight Years Old. What I Do Now Will Be Read By Unborn Generations For Hundreds, Perhaps Thousands, Of Years. For Me, It's Not About My Work - That Is, It's Not About Wayne Dyer's Work, How Much Money I Make, How Well I Do, Or How Well My Products Do.

We Spend A Big Hunk Of Our Lifetimes Contemplating What We Can't Have, What We Don't Want And What's Missing In Our Lives. What We Have To Learn Is To Put Our Attention And Focus On Contemplating What It Is We Would Like To Attract, And Not On What Is Missing.

As You Awaken You Go Beyond The Need To Perform And Achieve When You Go Beyond It, You Begin To Develop An Increased Susceptibility To The Love Extended By Others As Well As The Uncontrollable Urge To Extend It. Love Becomes What You Are.

Uncontrollable Urge

If You're Blaming Something Or Someone Else For The Way You Are, Then That Person, Those People, Those Circumstances Or Those Energies, Are Going To Have To Change In Order For You To Get Better; That's Most Likely Never Going To Happen. It's Also A Way To Manipulate Other People.

The War In Iraq, Specifically America's Role Of Leadership In This War, Is A Painful Invitation To Ask Ourselves What, If Anything, We've Learned From Previous Wars.

When You Consider What You Would Love To Accomplish In Your Life But Feel Ill-prepared To Bring It About, Picture The Eighty-nine Michelangelo Living Five Centuries Ago, Painting, Sculpting, And Writing.

See What It Is You Would Like To Attract Into Your Life. See How You Would Like Your Business To Go, Your Relationships To Go, And Even Your Body To Go In Terms Of Overcoming Addictions And Dealing With Weight And Health Issues.

Overcoming Addiction

The Biggest Mistake We Make Is Asking The Source To Understand Scarcity - Something That Is Not! People Pray: "please Give Me More..." Or, "please Heal Me." If You Do This, You'll Only Attract More Scarcity Into Your Life. You Can't Think About What's Missing In Your Life, What You Don't Like, Or What "they" Want For You.

I Think The Most Common Meme Is That It's Too Difficult To Change. It's Too Risky To Change. My Nature Doesn't Allow Me To Change. When You're Thinking That, You're Not Understanding What Your Nature Is. All Of Us Come From This Place Of Well-being, Love, And Kindness. But We've Taken On These Other Things, And We Think That They're Our Nature. Our Nature Really Is To Be Like God.

I Would Model Well-being By Presenting Myself As A High-energy Person Who Loves What I Am Doing And Who Is Thrilled To Be Able To Offer Books, Tapes, And Products Designed To Make People Feel Good. I Would Explain That They Are In A Store Filled With This Kind Of Energy And That Creating Such A Space Is Exactly Why I Got Into The Business In The First Place. If You Want To Feel Good, Then My Store Is The Place You Should Visit On A Regular Basis. I Would Stay Very Informed About What's Out There And Make Sure I Carry Many Things With Very High Energy.

God Is Love And Doesn't Ask For Anything Back In Return. So It's That Process Of Letting Go And Just Allowing, And Just Being In That Pure State.

If There's A Distinction Between Men And Women, I Don't Pay Attention To It. Honestly, I Don't See It. I Think All Of Us Are Part Feminine And Part Masculine. I'm Sure Sociologists Can Come Up With Distinctions About What's Different Between Men And Women, But For Every Example You Can Give About What A Woman Does, You Can Come Up With An Opposite Example Of Other Women Who Don't Do That. Those Are More Artificial Distinctions, I Think.

If You Want To Accomplish Something, You Must First Expect It Of Yourself.

If You Have Anything In Your Heart Other Than Love, You've Got To Get It Out.

Anger Is A Choice, As Well As A Habit. It Is A Learned Reaction To Frustration, In Which You Behave In Ways That You Would Rather Not. In Fact, Severe Anger Is A Form Of Insanity. You Are Insane Whenever You Are Not In Control Of Your Behavior. Therefore, When You Are Angry And Out Of Control, You Are Temporarily Insane.

At Those Times, I'm Not Focused On Any Ego Sense About How Much I'm Going To Make, How Well A Book Is Going To Do, Whether People Are Going To Buy It, Or Any Of That. I Just Go To A State Of Awe And Gratitude - I'm Deeply, Profoundly Grateful - And It Just Works. The First Words Out Of My Mouth Every Morning Are "i Thank You."

The Most Profound And Important Thing A Person Can Do To Erase Fear And Access The Power Of Intention Is Repeating These Five Key Words: I Want To Feel Good! This Is The Same Thing As Saying, I Want To Be In Harmony With The Source Of Well-being.

Put All Of Your Energy & Attention Into Visualizing ... It's Then That Doors Begin To Open For You

Everyone And Everything That Shows Up In The World Of Form In This Universe Originates Not From A Particle, As Quantum Physics Teaches Us, But From An Energy Field. That Energy Field Can Be Called God, Soul, Spirit, Or Consciousness. It Looks A Certain Way, Sounds A Certain Way, And Feels A Certain Way. I Try To Stay In Harmony With What I Believe It Sounds And Feels Like.

Live Today. Remove All Blame From Your Vocabulary. Catch Yourself When You Find Yourself Using Your Past History As A Reason For Your Failure To Act Today, And Instead Say, 'i Am Free Now To Detach Myself From What Used To Be.'

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.

St John Of The Cross Told Us That If A Man Wishes To Be Sure Of The Road He Treads On, He Must Close His Eyes And Walk In The Dark. I Interpret That As A Direction For Us To Trust In The Guidance We Receive From Our Invisible Self.

When I Was In High School If You Were Black And Lived In Detroit, And You Wanted To Drive Down To Florida To Go On Vacation, You Had To Plan To Drive All The Way Through, Because You Couldn't Stop In A Hotel All The Way Through South Carolina, North Carolina, And Georgia. We Can't Even Fathom Such A Thing Now, Can We?

Every Single Person Who's Drifted In And Out Of Your Life Is A Part Of Your Divinely Chosen Experience. So, Give Thanks For All Of These People, And Take Serious Note Of What They Brought You.

The Tendency Is To Blame Boredom On The Environment. "this Town Is Really Dull" Or "what A Boring Speaker." The Particular Town Or Speaker Is Never Dull, It Is You Experiencing The Boredom, And You Can Eliminate It By Doing Something Else With Your Mind Or Energy At That Moment.

There's Nothing That Feels Better Than To Do Something Nice For Somebody. I Mean Nothing Feels Better.

Being Infinitely Patient Means Having An Absolute Knowing That You're In Vibrational Harmony With The All-creating Force That Intended You Here. You Know That Everything Will Happen At Just The Right Time, At Just The Right Place, With Just The Right People.

The Past Is A Trail You Leave Behind, Much Like The Wake Of A Speedboat. That Is, It's A Vanishing Trail Temporarily Showing You Where You Were. The Wake Of A Boat Doesn't Affect It's Course-obviously It Can't Since It Appears Behind The Boat. So Consider This Image When You Exclaim That Your Past Is The Reason You Aren't Moving Forward.

Free Will Is Something That People Struggle With So Much, But It's Very Simple To Me. Carl Jung Said At The Same Moment You're A Protagonist In Your Own Life Making Choices, You Also Are The Spear Carrier, Or The Extra, In A Much Larger Drama. You've Got To Live With These Two Opposite Ideas At The Same Time.

When I Sit Down To Write A Book, I Do Not Know Where The Energy And The Words Come From. I Just Sit Down, And Soon It Is Flowing Through My Hand And Onto The Paper.

You Are A Creature Of Divine Love Connected At All Times To Source. Divine Love Is When You See God In Everyone And Everything You Encounter.

People Talk About Things Happening And It Being "unbelievable," And It's Exactly The Reverse. It's Really Believable, But We Are So Conditioned To Believe That These Kinds Of Things Are Just Coincidences, That They're Just Things That Show Up Arbitrarily In Our Lives, When The Fact Is That All Of Us Have This Kind Of Guidance Available To Us.

We're All Saints! We All Have Built Into Us This Intention, The Capacities For Kindness And Creativity And Beauty. It's A Matter Of Perspective. As Einstein Said, "the Single Most Important Decision Any Of Us Will Ever Make Is Whether Or Not To Believe That The Universe Is Friendly." It's Your Choice.

Know That You Are Part Of A Joyful Universe. Allow Your Romantic, Ecstatic, Blissful Emotions To Appear More Frequently In Your Daily Life. When You Feel Joy, Experience It And Express It! As The New Testament Says, 'joy Is The Fruit Of The Spirit.'

Fruits Of The Spirit

The Ability To See Yourself As A Temporary Expression Of Intention And To See Yourself In All Of Humanity Is A Characteristic Of The Holy Relationship. It's The Ability To Celebrate And Honor In All Others, The Place Where We're All One. ...establish A Holy Relationship With Your Source, The World Community, Your Neighbors, Acquaintances, Family, The Animal Kingdom, Our Planet, And Yourself.

What You See Is Evidence Of What You Believe.

Our Thoughts Are A Field Of Energy Cycles, A Mind Field, And Just By Our Thoughts Alone We Impact Not Only Ourselves But Those Around Us As Well.

In Reality, It's Much Easier Not To Smoke Or Eat Chocolate Than To Do So. It's Your Mind That Convinces You Otherwise.

Self-esteem Comes From The Self, Not From Acquisitions And Approval.

The First Step Toward Discarding A Scarcity Mentality Involves Giving Thanks For Everything That You Have.

I See That Nature Offers Us A Solution To Everything That We Call A Problem. If You Can Just Find Your Own Nature And Live It As Naturally As You Possibly Can And Be In A State Of Awe Over Everything, It Doesn't Matter Where You Are. It Almost Speaks To You And Says, "there's No Reason To Be Upset About Anything. It Will Pass." If It's Really Going To Pass, Why Stay Confused By It And Depressed By It. Just Watch It Go. It's On Its Way Out. That's What I Began To Do.

Most People Are Searching For Happiness. They're Looking For It. They're Trying To Find It In Someone Or Something Outside Of Themselves. That's A Fundamental Mistake. Happiness Is Something That You Are, And It Comes From The Way You Think.

You Become What You Think About All Day Long And Those Days Eventually Become Your Lifetime.

Always Had The Thought I Could Attract Abundance. When I Wrote The Book Your Erroneous Zones Back In The '70s, I Absolutely Knew The Book Was Going To Do Well, But It Wasn't A Goal At All. I Just Went Out There And Started Doing Something I Really Loved.

It's All Perfect, This Universe We Are In. Slow Down And Enjoy It All.

Enlightenment Is The "quiet Acceptance Of What Is". I Believe The Truly Enlightened Beings Are Those Who Refuse To Allow Themselves To Be Distressed Over Things That Simply Are The Way They Are.

Motivation Is When You Get Hold Of An Idea And Don't Let Go Of It Until You Make It A Reality. Inspiration Is The Reverse - When An Idea Gets Hold Of You And You Feel Compelled To Let That Impulse Or Energy Carry You Along. You Get To A Point Where You Realize That You're No Longer In Charge, That There's A Driving Force Inside You That Can't Be Stopped.

By Giving Children Lots Of Affection, You Can Help Fill Them With Love And Acceptance Of Themselves. Then That's What They Will Have To Give Away.

When You're An Orphan, You Don't Wake Up Every Day And Tell Yourself, "i'm An Orphan Again Today. Why Did This Happen To Me?" You Just Get On With Your Life. I've Had Other Challenges That Were Much Greater Than That.

You'll Start Seeing Miracles Showing Up - The Right Person, Unanticipated Abundance. You'll Feel Like You're Collaborating With The Universe Instead Of It Working Against You.

During Any Moment In Which You're Experiencing Thoughts That Make You Feel Sick Or Bad, Do Your Best To Change Them To Thoughts That Support The Idea Of Feeling Good. Refuse To Talk About Disease, And Work To Activate Thoughts That Predict Recovery And Overall Well-being.

Heaven Is A State Of Mind, Not A Location.

There's Not A Day I Live That Doesn't Start With Me Getting Up And First Saying, "what Can I Do For Somebody Else?" Whether That Means Sending Something To One Of My Children Or Picking Up The Phone And Calling A Stranger Who Is In The Hospital, I Start Every Day By Wanting More For Others Than I Do For Myself.

In The Retail Business, Many People Are Too Consumed With The Bottom Line. How Much Am I Going To Be Selling? Am I Going To Be Able To Do All The Things I Need To Get Done? Instead, If They Are At Peace And Feeling Good About Themselves - If They Are Treating Customers With Love And Acting As Statesmen And Stateswomen And People Who Are Connected To God In A Spiritual Sense - Then Every Day For Them Is A Real Joy.

I Can't Conceive Of Thinking That I'm Too Old To Do What I Love

I Think We Have A Free Will, And At The Same Moment We Don't. We Have To Live With That. It Doesn't Make Sense Intellectually, But That's Because Our Intellect Is Always Trying To Come Up With A Logical, Rational Explanation For Things. To Do That, It Puts Labels On Things. But Once You Label Something, You've Got Twoness. You've Got The Label, And You've Got What You're Labeling. And There Is Only Oneness In The Universe, Even Though We Artificially Believe In Twoness.

There's A Difference Between Knowing God And Knowing About God. Knowing About God Is All Of The Stuff We've Been Told And All Of The Books We've Read And All Of Our Religious Experiences And What Others Have Told Us And Tried To Convince Us Of. But Knowing God Is When We Make Conscious Contact.

Intention Is Not Something You Do, But Rather A Force That Exists In The Universe As An Invisible Field Of Energy, A Power That Can Carry Us.

Your Will Is The Ego Part Of You That Believes You're Separate From Others, Separate From What You'd Like To Accomplish Or Have, And Separate From God. It Also Believes That You Are Your Acquisitions, Achievements, And Accolades. This Ego Will Wants You To Constantly Acquire Evidence Of Your Importance... On The Other Hand, Your Imagination Is The Concept Of Spirit Within You. ...with Imagination, We Have The Power To Be Anything We Desire To Be.

If You Enter Into The Spirit Of Life, You Are Really Reproducing In Yourself The Qualities Of The Creator Of That Which Allows Something To Be Manifested And Created In The First Place.

For The Spiritual Being, Intuition Is Far More Than A Hunch. It Is Viewed As Guidance Or As God Talking, And This Inner Insight Is Never Taken Lightly Or Ignored.

The Only Difference Between A Flower And A Weed Is Judgement.

There Is No Moment That Isn't Equivalent In Value To Any Other Moment. You Have To Surrender The Little Mind To The Big Mind, And Turn What You Want Over To God.

Even If Your Ego Doesn't Grasp It, This Is The Truth: Everything Is On Time Under Heaven's Net

When Your Inner Mantra Becomes 'how May I Serve?' Rather Than 'what Am I Going To Get?' And 'who Do I Need To Defeat?,' You Start To See The Unfolding Of God In Everything And Everyone Around You And You Shift Into Higher Consciousness.

The Way To Establish A Relationship With Spirit And Access The Power Of This Creating Principle Is To Continuously Contemplate Yourself As Being Surrounded By The Conditions You Wish To Produce.

Send Love In Some Form To Those You Believe Have Wronged You, & Notice How Much Better You Feel

When You're At Peace With Your Life And In A State Of Tranquility, You Actually Send Out A Vibration Of Energy That Impacts All Living Creatures, Including Plants, Animals And Even Babies.

If You Want To Be A Voice For Peace In The World, Begin By Making Peace A Permanent Condition Of Your Own Life.

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.

Life Is Never Boring But Some People Choose To Be Bored. The Concept Of Boredom Entails An Inability To Use Up Present Moments In A Personally Fulfilling Way. Boredom Is A Choice; Something You Visit Upon Yourself, And It Is Another Of Those Self-defeating Items That You Can Eliminate From Your Life.

I Have Felt Independent Of The Opinions Of Others In Terms Of Whether Or Not I Should Or Shouldn't Be Doing That. There's Something That I Allow To Consult Myself Within Myself Rather Than Looking Outside To See If This Is Right Or Not.

Goal Setting Is Fine If You Want To Be The Warrior Archetype. These People Are Setting Goals Constantly And Trying To Get Someplace Else. They Say, "if You Don't Know Where You Are Going, Then You Won't Know When You Get There." When You Get To A Higher Level Of Consciousness, Though, When You Get Into A Spiritual Approach To Life, You Are Not Trying To Get Someplace Else, Because You Never Can Get It Done. You Never Are Going To Get There. Instead, What You Want To Do Is Get To A Place Where You Are At Peace. You Are Connected To God.
