Wayne Dyer Quotes

I say 'Out' to every negative thought that comes to my mind. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it.

My teacher Jim Rohn taught me a simple principle: every day, stand guard at the door of your mind, and you alone decide what thoughts and beliefs you let into your life. For they will shape whether you feel rich or poor, cursed or blessed.

On those days when you don't want to get up, I think, I'm going to get through my entire practice without saying how tired I am or I try not to complain just because I was in a bad mood when I woke up.

Make the decision and say, "I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in." Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.

Don Juan assured me that in order to accomplish the feat of making myself miserable I had to work in the most intense fashion, and that it was absurd.

The amount of work is the same."

I don't put much pressure on myself, because I'm strong mentally.

I can only control what I can control at the end of the day, so some things you just can't allow to take your head the other way, some things happen for a reason.

I've learned in my life that I have to focus on the things that I can control and what I can control is what comes out of my mouth and how I respond to people.

I can control my attitude, and I can control my game.

There's so much to benefit from being able to control your mind in certain situations and it just keeps you even-keel all the time when things are going well and when they're not. That's one thing that I've always had a bit of a tough time doing. When I get up, I get excited. When I'm down, I get pretty frustrated.

If some things don't make me feel good, I stop them. How simple, yet so hard to do.

At any given moment in your life, you have the choice between love and fear. And that's a choice you make. You make the choice of how you react to events.

All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: no matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems.

You have incredible lives ahead of you. You have incredible things that you can accomplish. If you feel that, you will have an amazing life.

And when you're younger, a lot of that stuff is so temporary. You can get through it. You're stronger than you think. You'll ALWAYS be stronger than you think. Feel with your heart and do what you want.
