Wayne Dyer Quotes

Being deeply contented with God in my everyday life is a focused attitude. It is always available. It means practicing letting go of my obsession with how I'm doing. It means training myself to learn to actually be present with people, and seeking to love them.

Unending joy is actually closer to us than our own skin, and there is nothing we have to do or get or be to experience it. All we have to do is stop driving it away.

Living in the past or living in the future - those aren't real. The moment is now, and that's where safety and comfort and all that good stuff is.
