7 Life-Changing Lessons
By Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
1. Stop Making Excuses
“There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there’s
only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.”
People always say, “You can’t make a living doing what you love!” And while
they’re busy saying that, there are people making a living doing what they love.
I like what Helen Keller said, she said, “While they said amongst themselves it
could not be done, it was done.”
What you’re saying can’t be done is being done by somebody else right now. The
difference is that they were unwilling to listen to the critics; they refused to
hear the naysayer, they were just foolish enough to believe that the impossible
was possible. Who are you listening to? Are you listening to people who are
saying to be realistic, or are you listening to people who are saying the
impossible can be made possible.
2. What’s In Will Come Out
“When you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out – because that’s what’s
inside. When you are squeezed, what comes out is what is inside.”
Did you ever hear a kid curse in front of their parents and then respond, “I
slipped up?” They didn’t slip up; they slipped out what was in. Those words had
to be in you, to come out of you.
The results that you’re getting in your life aren’t an accident, those results
are based on what’s inside of you. You have to change the inside, if you want
change, and you change the inside by changing what you spend your time thinking
about.
When you spend your time focusing on good things, then good things will come out
of you.
3. Believe It First
“You’ll see it when you believe it.”
If you want to be successful, you must first believe that you are successful.
When you believe it, then you will see it. It’s like, if you want warmth from a
fire, you would put in the wood, and then you would get the warmth. You wouldn’t
say, give me some warmth, and then I’ll throw in some wood, of course not. It
works the same way when you’re trying to manifest something in your life. You
must believe it first, you must have full-confidence, and when you do, what you
believe will become your reality.
4. Perception Is Reality
“Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world.
Same world.”
Successful people live in a successful world; unsuccessful people live in an
unsuccessful world. Same world. The difference is in perception, how do you
perceive your world? Is the world plotting to do you harm or good? Is the world
helping you succeed or fail? Your perception will become your reality, which
confirms one of Dyer’s most famous quotes, “When you change the way you look at
things, the things you look at change.”
5. Everything Created Solves A Problem
“Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence
that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through
you.”
My eyes see, my ears hear, my nose smells. Everything created solves a problem,
you were created to solve a problem, and your success is dependent on your
ability to discover that problem and solve it. Finding that problem is
discovering your purpose, solving that problem is fulfilling your purpose. You
must discover the problem you were created to solve, and you must solve it.
6. Excellence Pays Off
“It’s never crowded along the extra mile.”
They say extraordinary is doing the ordinary things, well. It’s the “extra,”
that makes it extraordinary. It means, when everyone else is tired and ready to
give up, you go the extra mile. The extra mile makes the difference, the extra
miles separates the winners from the losers, and the men from the boys. Are you
going the extra mile?
7. Intentions Create Realities
“Our intention creates our reality.”
What are you intending. In other words, what are your plans? Are you planning
for big things, or nothing at all? The intentions that consume your mind will
create your reality. So intend big things, it takes no more time to intend big
things than it does to intend small things. Plan your life the way you want it
to be, believe that it’s possible for you, and you will live the life you
planned.
