Wayne Dyer Quotes

Even people who believe they deserve to be happy and have nice things often don't feel worthy once they have them.

When you focus on want, you become an endless cycle of wants. To get, simply release, and then gently invite.

Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect, you have enough.

Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given.

As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.

So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants.

If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.

About being grateful for what you have instead of yearning for what you think you want.

The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don't feel really good on your way to there, you can't get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you're reaching for more.

The word desire suggests that there is something we do not have. If we have everything already, then there can be no desire, for there is nothing left to want. I think that what the Buddha may have been trying to tell us is that we have it all, each of us, all the time; therefore, desire is simply unnecessary.

Perhaps this was the secret to being at peace: want nothing but what is given to you.

What will they think of me? Must be put aside for bliss

For me, the opposite of scarcity is not abundance. It's enough. I'm enough. My kids are enough.

I try really hard not to be attached to success.

Let me be content with being happy, without sighing that I am not distinguished.

If you have easy self-contentment, you might have a very, very cheap source of happiness.

I realize everybody wants what they don't have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what's on the outside!

Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring. And that is not happiness.

Success does not mean happiness. Check out any celebrity magazine to look for examples to disabuse you of thinking that being beautiful, successful or rich will make you happy.

You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.

Once one feels content about what one has, then humiliation does not arise. If one could never feel content, one would never even get what one wished to have.

Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.

I would look at my profile and be like, 'Look at this girl! She has, like, the most perfect life!' and I would feel so guilty for not feeling blessed all the time.

Thank God I'm very satisfied with the way God created me, and I wouldn't change a thing.
