Dr. Wayne Dyer - Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting

I am so excited! Yesterday morning I went online and ordered Wayne Dyer’s new book, “Wishes Fulfilled – Mastering the Art of Manifesting” and now I can’t wait for it to arrive.

I have been a huge Wayne Dyer fan for many years. In fact, it was one of his early books, “You’ll See It When You Believe It”, that really inspired me to dive deeper into the world of self improvement and led me to where I am today, spreading the same message of hope and possibility!

Like many of his previous books, “Wishes Fulfilled” was also turned into a PBS special which is currently airing on PBS stations around the country. Check the PBS website to find it on in your area, it is definitely worth watching. Donna and I had the chance to watch it recently, and I loved it! About five minutes into the show, I knew I had to get the book as soon as possible. I love listening to Wayne. He is always so relaxed and at peace that his message of inner peace comes through loud and clear. The man radiates peace. His presence is powerful, yet calming.

Donna and I saw him speak in New York City a while back and I was spellbound the entire time!

Although Wayne is often called ‘the father of motivation’, I think the thing that attracts me to his work is the element of spirituality that is woven into his message. Through the years he has reminded us again and again that creating the life we want becomes incredibly easier as soon as we align ourselves with our higher selves and connect with the higher power that we truly are.

Connecting with that higher power is what transforms your life. Dr. Dyer has said this in many ways, yet each time he releases a new book or a new CD set, he seems to bring us a little more clarity about exactly how to do that.

I could go on and on about Wayne Dyer and how great a teacher I think he is, but I urge you to experience him for yourself. Don’t expect the usual rah-rah, self help, get fire up kind of material. Wayne is like a trusted friend, a warm and wise gentle man who has spent the better part of his life learning how to live from his higher self, and who wants to help you to do the same.

Well, I am off the check my mailbox to see if my package has arrived yet!

I’ll post a full review of “Wishes Fulfilled” here on the blog after I have had a chance to read it. In the meantime, here is the link to a short review I wrote about Wayne Dyer’s movie, The Shift. Enjoy!

Law of attraction quotes to inspire and motivate you!

I love powerful law of attraction quotes. These little collections of words have a way of lifting me up when I am down and keeping me on track when I’m distracted. They can do the same for you! If you are looking for an easy way to inspire and motivate yourself, this is it!

Simply gather some quotes about the law of attraction and success, then put them around your living space in places where you will be able to see them often.

I have some great law of attraction quotes posted on sticky notes around my computer, and I have others scattered throughout my home. They serve as a constant reminder to myself that I need to be keeping an eye on what I am thinking and doing.

You can do the same!

Here are a few of my favorite law of attraction quotes:

Abraham / Esther Hicks

“If you’re not selfish enough to want to feel good, then you can’t connect with the energy that is your Source which does always feel good.”
– Abraham-Hicks

Whatever you’re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you’re worrying, you are planning. When you’re appreciating you are planning…What are you planning?
– Abraham-Hicks

Dr. Wayne Dyer

“I will see it when I believe it.”
– Wayne Dyer

“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.”
– Wayne Dyer

“There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way.”
– Wayne Dyer

Marianne Williamson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
– Marianne Williamson

Richard Bach

“Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you’re alive, it isn’t.”
– Richard Bach

Benjamin Disraeli

“Nurture your mind with great thoughts for you will never go higher than you think.”
– Benjamin Disraeli

Albert Einstein

“Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”
– Albert Einstein

Carl Jung

“What you resist persists.”
– Carl Jung

Quotes are great because they remind us of those principles that we know are true, but that we have let ourselves lose sight of. Often all it takes is a quick read of one of these law of attraction quotes to quickly get me back in a good state of mind.

This week’s Sunday Inspirational video is from Dr. Wayne Dyer, who is truly one of a handful of enlightened teachers alive today. In this video he shares some thoughts about how changing your perspective can change the very world around you.

So, are you looking for your ‘keys’ out under the street light?

It’s what we all do.

But it never works, does it? It never produces the results that we are looking for.

Sure, it’s easier to look out there under the light, but the solution is not there.

The solution, the answer, always lies within yourself. It’s not until you shift your attention away from all the external things, away from the blame, away from the excuses, that you begin to make real progress in your life.

It’s part of taking responsibility for your own life.

I know it would be much simpler if everyone around you would get their act together and smarten up, but…

THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

The only person in the world who can change your life is YOU!

If you are able to change the way you look at the situations around you, those situations appear to change.

No, of course you don’t change reality, you simply change your picture of reality. After all, the reality you are experiencing at any given time is only a picture, a tiny slice of what is really happening, filtered through your senses and your mind. You are only ‘seeing’ a tiny, tiny, tiny, piece of reality. Depending upon where you place your focus, you will experience something different.

What Dr. Dyer is saying in this short clip is that to change ‘YOU’, you must look inside yourself to make those changes.

Trying to change other people, so that you can feel better never works.

Looking outside yourself for the answers or solutions only drags you deeper and deeper into the mess that you find yourself in.

Want to get unstuck?

Shift your attention to the real changes that you want to make.

Change your picture of reality. That’s all.

The reason that you feel the way you do is because at some point you decided that this was an appropriate way to feel in this situation. But you are not stuck with this response. You can change!

There is always a better way of seeing any situation, there is always a way of finding peace. You just have to look for it and embrace it!

Let’s start out by saying that The Shift is a fun movie to watch. I truly enjoyed it. Part interview, part drama, The Shift is Dr. Wayne Dyer’s enlightening look at the changes we all go through as we move from the morning of our lives to the afternoon of our lives. Time marches on, and as it does, so do we, growing and changing along the way.

In his classic, warm and friendly style, Dr. Dyer manages to educate and entertain at the same time, sharing his thoughts about one of the biggest changes that occur as you approach the afternoon of your life. Your priorities change. What was once important may be less so now, and what was unimportant before may now mean the world to you.

This transition in your life is summed up by the film’s original title, “From Ambition to Meaning”, referring to the key change that happens as your priorities shift from living a life of ambition and drive, to a life that now derives satisfaction from living on purpose and finding a deeper meaning in all that you do.

In the film, Dr. Dyer plays himself, a famous author and teacher being interviewed for a documentary, and he spends a good part of the film sharing his ideas and concepts about this shift that occurs in all of our lives. Interwoven with the interview scenes are several smaller stories that mesh with and beautifully illustrate the teachings Wayne is sharing.

One of the stories involves a woman who, having devoted her life to her family, suddenly realizes what has been missing from her life. Another story centers on a businessman who must confront his need for achievement and who discovers that life isn’t all about numbers and dollars. A third story focuses on a young filmmaker driven by his yearning for success, and his struggle to find his place in the world.

The Shift, according to Dr. Wayne Dyer, is a natural part of your life and it happens as you seek to find that inner balance that is so important.

And no, the shift has nothing to do with your physical age. It can happen at any time, and when it does you begin questioning the pursuit of achievement for achievement’s sake and start looking closer at your motivations and the meanings that you give to the different aspects of your life.

This change in your perspective can open new doors of opportunity for you. Where before you may have been focused on outward signs of success, now you choose to focus on your inner needs, on living a life of purpose, on choosing happiness.

It is when you begin looking for meaning in your life and questioning the beliefs and excuses that you have been using that you truly become centered and in touch with your self. That is the point at which peace and happiness enter into your life.

This shift from ambition to meaning signals a new phase in your life. A new chapter in your story. What was once a big deal may seem inconsequential or needless now. And the opposite is true as well, many of those things that you previously thought of as meaningless may take on bigger roles in your life.

As you watch The Shift you will see examples of this transformation and the power that it has to free you of your struggle.

It is hard to find anything wrong with this movie. Even if you are new to Dr. Dyer and his teachings you will find yourself being pulled into the story and nodding your head in agreement as Dr. Dyer relates the commonalities of this shift that we all go through.

The only criticism I have of The Shift is the sudden name change that happened after the movie was released. It was originally released as Ambition to Meaning: Finding Your Life’s Purpose, but was changed to The Shift shortly after it hit the shelves. From my perspective either title fits the film perfectly so I can understand the dilemma. I only wish the producers had avoided the confusion by sticking with one title.

The Shift is beautifully filmed in California’s spectacular Monterey Peninsula, a wonderful backdrop for this inspiring work.

Unlike many recent spiritual films, which are often made up of one talking head after another, The Shift is an actual movie – with real actors and a real plot that conveys the movie’s message in a unique way.

Everything about The Shift is top-notch, from the writing and directing to the excellent performances by Wayne Dyer, Michael DeLuise, and Portia de Rossi.

Keep your ears open because there are little tidbits of wisdom being dropped left and right in this film, and not always by the main characters! There are lots of little details in The Shift that combine to create a wonderful movie. Watch for a cameo appearance by Louise Hay too!

The Shift is a wonderful film that deserves a place in your video library. The combination of Wayne Dyer’s wisdom and insight, plus a compelling and thought provoking story line proves to be a winning combination that you will find inspiring and maybe just a little bit illuminating.

For it is at those moments in your life when you shift from ambition to meaning that your life takes a new direction, that you stop resisting your own inner callings, that you begin looking at the meaning of your life.

This is a must-see film that you will watch over and over again. I highly recommend it and hope that you will not only enjoy it yourself, but that you will watch it with your loved ones or share it with those people you care about.

The Bottom Line:

The Shift is an exceptional film and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in discovering a deeper meaning or purpose to their life.
