Wayne Dyer Quotes

Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. Most of us spend fifty-nine minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost joys or shame for things badly done (both utterly useless and weakening) or in a future which we either long for or dread. . . . There is only one minute in which you are alive, this minute, here and now. The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle. Which is exactly what it is-a miracle and unrepeatable.

Don’t worry about achieving. Don’t worry about perfection. Just be there each moment as best you can.

To make money, to gather knowledge, to learn a new skill, to explore new territory, even to get from A to B - for all these things you need time. For almost everything you need time, except for one thing: to embrace the present moment.

... whatever is not happening now is unimportant; it is merely curious.

Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now.

The moment is everything. Don't think about tomorrow; don't think about yesterday: think about exactly what you're doing right now and live it and dance it and breath it and be it.

It's about just staying in the moment.

Die to the past every moment. You don't need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence.

If only, then, I had been more living out of the present--such a beautiful word...present. The sense of it being, now to me, more beautiful than 'to look forward.

Accept that living in the present moment, with your present desires, is the best, the highest thing you can do.

To live in the present, we must deeply believe that what is most important is in the here and now.

If we know that we are now at the point where we have always wanted to be, we will be there. . . because we are never there but always here, now!

How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now, and that there will never be a time when it is not now.

When you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.

The only time you'll ever have is now.

I just live my life and try to be present.

We all spend so much time worrying about the future that the present moment slips right out of our hands. And so all we have left is retrospection and anticipation, retrospection and anticipation. In which case what's left to recall but past anticipation? What's left to anticipate but future retrospection?

I try to live in the moment and let that moment carry me to the next great place.

As our lives speed up more and more, so do our children's. We forget and thus they forget that there is nothing more important than the present moment. We forget and thus they forget to relax, to find spiritual solitude, to let go of the past, to quiet ambition, to fully enjoy the eating of a strawberry, the scent of a rose, the touch of a hand on a cheek...

The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.

Let your mind, happily contented with the present, care not what the morrow will bring with it.

What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment.

The way to 'get there' is to 'be there'

Don't hurry anything. Don't worry about the future. Don't worry about what progress you're making. Just be entirely content to be aware of what is.

I always live in the present. I don’t know the future and no longer have the past. The former oppresses me as the possibility of everything, the latter as the reality of nothing.
