30 Wayne Dyer Motivational Quotes

 
Wayne-Dyer-1.jpg

Wayne Dyer (1940-2015) was called “The Father of Motivation” by his readers and followers. That may not be entirely true, but he had a massive impact on the lives of many, many people (including me). Wayne’s message evolved from one of personal to success to one of personal fulfillment. We were all glad to go on the journey with him. Thankfully, he left behind a treasure trove of wit and wisdom for all of us.

He once said, “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.”
