Wayne Dyer Quotes

You may be basing a portion of your self-worth on your bank account without even realizing it. Try to pinpoint the activities and qualities that, free of charge, fulfill you.

Success is not in what you have, but who you are.

I want people to enjoy reaching out and making their dreams come true.

In activity we must find our joy as well as glory; and labor, like everything else that is good, is its own reward.

I never thought of achievement. I just did what came along for me to do - the thing that gave me the most pleasure.

Purpose can never be about achievement; it is much bigger.

What exactly is success? For me it is to be found not in applause, but in the satisfaction of feeling that one is realizing one's ideal.

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

Success is always something completely different to people. I feel like I've succeeded, if I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody. I'm not doing that now, so I feel really good about myself.

Whatever it is that gives you that confidence will vary from person to person, but I do believe that it is the key to succeeding at anything in life - career, relationships, anything.

Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn't dependent on anyone else.

Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.

To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.

Getting ahead cannot be the only motive that motivates people. You have to imagine what a good life is.

True success, true happiness lies in freedom and fulfillment.

Success is always something completely different to people. I feel like I've succeeded, if I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody.

You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity.

Success is a completely abstract thing - it has no bearing on daily life, family matters, the matter of artistic creation, but it can affect grace, and if I lose that, I really have gained nothing from success.

I'm not really concerned with the outer success.

I'm not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn't bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.

Real happiness comes from discovering a sense of importance in one's actions and in one's life.
