A Baker's Dozen of Inspirational Thoughts from Dr. Wayne Dyer

Share these pearls of wisdom with your Grad, your Dad, or anyone who may benefit

from this practical advice for living a successful, positive life-everyday!

Excerpted from Everyday Wisdom for Success.

1. Chasing success is like trying to squeeze a handful of water. The tighter

you squeeze, the less water you get. When you chase it, your life becomes the

chase, and you become a victim of always wanting more.

2. If you refuse to change your job (if you don't like it), the only sensible

thing you can do is practice loving it every day.

3. Enjoy everything that happens in your life, but never make your happiness or

success dependent on an attachment to any person, place, or thing.

4. The more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if what

you want is already there, the more you'll activate those dormant forces that

will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.

5. Most people are searching for happiness outside of themselves. That's a

fundamental mistake. Happiness is something you are, and it comes from the way

you think.

6. You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be

judged better than some and worse than others.

7. Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored . . . boredom is a

choice.

8. Treat yourself and others with kindness when you eat, exercise, play, work,

love, and everything else.

9. Money - like health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that you want

to create for yourself - is the result of living purposefully. It is not a goal

unto itself.

10. The opposite of courage is not so much fear as it is conformity.

11. Try viewing everyone who comes into your life as a teacher.

12. Forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself. If you can't

learn to forgive, you can forget about achieving true success in your life.

13. There are limits to material growth, but there are no limits to inner

enlightenment.
