40 Wayne Dyer Quotes about Your Power to Change Your Reality
1. “With everything that has happened to you, you can feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.” – Wayne Dyer

5. “Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.” – Wayne Dyer
6. “All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won’t succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.” – Wayne Dyer
7. “Conflict cannot survive without your participation.” – Wayne Dyer

15. “When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.” – Wayne Dyer
16. “It’s one of the great lessons of life. What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside. It doesn’t matter who does the squeezing—your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, the government. If someone says something about you that you don’t like, what comes out of you is what’s inside. And what’s inside is up to you, it’s your choice.” – Wayne Dyer
17. “If you have anything in your heart, that’s anything other than love, you’ve got to get it out.” – Wayne Dyer

23. “Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.” – Wayne Dyer

Listening to Wayne Dryer’s CD’s saves my life everyday. His in-spirit-rado philosophy gives me hope to go on.

Jill, yes I love this concept! I believe that what’s inside of us, beautiful and ugly the same, comes out more pronounced in times of stress. We’re all humans. We are complex beings with a lot to process. x
— Jennifer Williamson
I like his comment that what comes out when stuff is difficult is what’s inside .great way to look at who you really are warts and all .only way to change is to really look and be astringently honest with yourself especially when its not what you expect and qualities you dislike in others ! We are all human all of us have a dark side .it’s managing that dark side .I’m sure there was a lot of pain and perseverance behind these rules of living well .

He did write about driving! He wrote that when the little old lady in tha car in front of you can barely see over the steering wheel and is driving 5mph instead of going crazy think about how she could be with her husband having a wonderful day and many blessings and to send her love. This is paraphrasing ❤️😁
— Elizabeth Gannaway
Hi Rita, Wayne Dyer left behind a legacy of love on so many topics. So glad you loved this collection! I don’t think I’m familiar with what he wrote about driving. I’m sorry I can’t help more on this one! I bet a search on Google would bring up something :) Good luck! ~ Jen

Hello Jen,
Wayne Dyer has always been one of my favorite authors because he had so much "good"to say. I listened to the old tapes, read books, listened to him at real estate seminars….and now, I need to find what he wrote about one’s attitude about driving and other drivers. Could you point me in that direction? I’d be so grateful.
Thank you,
Rita Halverson
