The self help guru, Dr Wayne Dyer passed away on August 29, 2015.
Wayne Dyer has inspired people since his first book, Your Erroneous Zones, was published in 1976. He went on to publish over 40 books that have inspired people to change their perceptions and live life to the fullest. His book, Pulling Your Own Strings had a deep impact on my life, making me start to take more responsibility for my own destiny.
Quite recently I shared with you about his book, Excuses Begone. I also reviewed Dr Dyer’s daughter, Serena’s book, Don’t Die With Your Music Still In You.
Memorable Wayne Dyer Quotes
- When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.

- If you ask with kindness in your voice and in your heart, How may I serve you ? the Universe’s response will be, ‘How may I serve you as well.’

Great quotes. I was inspired by your blog post to share some of my favorite Wayne Dyer quotes and thoughts on them myself.
Everyone of those quotes is my favorite. That man’s teachings (along with a couple others) helped me through every step of my life transitions.
Good to know that, Karen! He was an amazing soul.
I’d never heard of Wayne Dyer until we lived in Vermont. I know several of our friends there really loved his “ministry”. It’s always sad at the passing of someone who gives off so much light!
Indeed, Nan. He touched many lives!
Great quotes. I had not read them all. Thank you!
Glad you liked them, Darla.
Such wonderful quotes Corrine … I must confess I only read about him on your blog…But these quotes that you just shared have made me want to find out more about him…For today I choose this quote of his
‘If you believe it will work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you believe it won’t you will see obstacles.’
Lovely choice, Nabanita. I’ve found that to be so true in my life!
I have never read his work but now he is on my ‘to read’ list. Thanks Corinne for this enlightening post (no pun intended)
I’m certain his words will resonate with your beliefs, Lata.
