Wise Wayne Dyer Quotes

Discover spiritual encouragement and inspiration from Dr Wayne Dyer quotes below.

These quotes have been selected from a couple of Wayne Dyer books, namely 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace and Getting in the Gap.

The Wayne Dyer quotes I have selected are shown here because they have most relevance to the theme of this website and are to provide spiritual inspiration and spiritual encouragement.


When you feel peaceful and successful, you want to extend and export that peace and love.

Your attachments are the source of all your problems. The need to be right, to possess someone or something, to win at all costs, to be viewed by others as superior – these are all attachments.

To release attachments, you have to make a shift in how you view yourself. As a spiritual being, you can observe your body and be a compassionate witness to your existence.

If you can love someone enough to allow them to be exactly what they choose to be – without any expectations or attachments from you – you’ll know true peace in your lifetime.

True love means you love a person for what they are, not for what you think they should be. This is an open mind – and an absence of attachment.

As tough as it is to acknowledge, you had to go through what you went through in order to get to where yo are today, and the evidence is that you did.

Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters have short roles to play, others much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary, otherwise they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

Strength Quotes

And Quotes About Honesty

Here is a list of strength quotes to remind you of the strength and power that comes from being true to yourself and honest with others.

There is no reason to be ashamed of what you want or what is important to you.  The world wants your truth.  You are as you are and I hope that these strength quotes remind you that really the only thing worth being in life is integral with your inner guidance and conscience.

  • If you have integrity, nothing else matters.  If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters. Alan Simpson.
  • Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the Truth.  Benjamin Disraeli.
  • A half Truth is a whole lie. Yiddish Proverb.
  • Strength is a matter of a made up mind. John Beecher.
  • As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. Josh Billings.
  • Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. Oscar Wilde.
  • When in doubt, tell the Truth. Mark Twain.
  • Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.  August Wilson.
  • Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength. Ralph Sockman.
  • With lies you may get ahead in the world, but you can never go back.  Russian proverb.
  • It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.  Alex Karras.
  • There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.  French Proverb.
  • The Truth is more important than the facts. Frank Lloyd Wright.
  • Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Thomas Jefferson.

Paul Potts Audition, Britain’s Got Talent Paul Potts, Self-Confidence, Self-Esteem

Emotional Paul
Potts Audition

Two years before Susan Boyle came another amazing moment in TV.

This Paul Potts audition has been watched by millions on YouTube. It brings about an extraordinary emotional reaction in people.  Paul talks briefly about his lack of self-confidence and self-esteem, but as is usual when he is doing what he loves, he feels like he is a part of something bigger and that nothing is missing.  This is his spiritual awareness that singing allows him to touch.

This is the first ever Paul Potts opera performance on Britain’s Got Talent singing Nessun Dorma, and he goes on to sing Time to Say Goodbye in the next round.

UPDATE: The video has had to be removed due to not being able to secure a non-copyrighted version. I recommend you search on Youtube for Paul Potts Audition.

Since 2007 Paul Potts has been around the world promoting his albums.  It is a great example of how life can change very quickly for us as he used to sell mobile phones.  Whether it is something in the stars that finally brings us to a place I don’t know or maybe it is all about visualizing and manifesting.

Either way I believe if you follow what you are passionate about and stay in integrity you will be drawn to the circumstances that allow you to serve others in the best way you can.

Marianne Williamson Quotes, Spiritual Quotes, Words of Spiritual Encouragement, Self-Esteem, Self-Confidence

Wise Marianne
Williamson Quotes

Below are a selection of Marianne Williamson quotes to provide words of spiritual encouragement.

These spiritual quotes are provided here to help paint the picture of what this website is about when I refer to higher self-esteem and self-confidence.

The spiritual meaning of every situation: not what happens to us but what we do with what happens to us and who we decide to become because of what happens to us.

To achieve a miraculous experience of life, we must embrace a more spiritual perspective. Otherwise, we will die one day without ever having known the real joy of living.

As the mind is permeated by the realization of the awesome power that lies within us, and as we allow ourselves to embrace the principles of higher awareness, the ego in time takes a back-seat to higher truth. It cannot stand before a mind that has begun to awaken to its true reality.

I have learned, when in my life has been most painful, that the me who can be hurt is not the real me.

Is not an insult an opportunity for me to look at that part of myself that can be insulted and say “Ha, you’re not even really me”?

You’re not better than anyone esle, but neither are you worse than anyone else. All of us have special gifts, all of us are born to shine in one way or another.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.

Do you prefer to be right or happy?

Videos

A selection of free inspirational videos and free video clips that most people find touches them deep within.

The supreme
accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play. Arnold Toynbee

It is easy to watch these videos and enjoy them for their entertainment value. As with everything in life I find myself contemplating why is it that these videos move people? What is it about me or about myself as a human being that these sort of videos create a welling up of feeling?

  • Is it because our greatness is awakened; a greatness
    that we haven’t yet remembered consciously?
  • Is it because we each had dreams as a kid which we have
    suppressed and done nothing about?
  • Are these people displaying some greater power working
    through them and it is a wake up for us to see this?  Is this what
    inspiration really is?
  • Is it a knowing inside each of us that we are all part
    of something bigger?

Whether it means something personal to you or whether it is something greater we witness in these videos, I am sure you will enjoy them.
