Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao

by Wayne W. Dyer

there is no way to happiness; rather, happiness is the way.

Bring happiness to every encounter in life, instead of expecting external events to produce joy.

you needn’t remind it of what you crave or what you think it has forgotten on your behalf. Trust the harmony of the Tao. It took care of everything that you needed

You (meaning your ego) don’t need to do anything. Instead, allow the eternal perfection of the Tao to work through you.

I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.

“When action is pure and selfless, everything settles into its own perfect place.”

Just sit there right now Don’t do a thing Just rest. For your separation from God, From love, Is the hardest work In this World.

Everyone Is God speaking. Why not be polite and Listen to Him?

Stop the chase and be a witness.

view others as an extension of yourself.

Stop chasing your dreams. Allow them to come to you in perfect order with unquestioned timing.

Get in the flow of life and allow yourself to proceed gently down its stream.

No concerns or fears—only a sense of being connected to the Source of all, knowing that all will be handled for you by the same force that’s always handling everything.

it’s all being provided for you right here, right now.

Let your ears hear whatever they want to hear; let your eyes see whatever they want to see; let your mind think whatever it wants to think; let your lungs breathe in their own rhythm. Do not expect any special result, for in this wordless and idealess state, where can there be past or future, and where any notion of purpose?

Catch yourself as you’re about to tell others how they “should” be. Use the opportunity to practice allowing them to learn their own lessons without interference from you. Notice how often you attempt to use verbal force to convince others to listen to you. Remind yourself to remain quiet and send loving energy.

Remind yourself that goodness isn’t accessed by obeying laws; rather, it is what resonates with your essential nature. You don’t need any sort of code to decide what is proper, good, moral, ethical, or legal. Trust yourself to be an instrument of love by surrendering to your highest nature rather than being seduced by mortal laws.

See imperfections as perfect, even if your ego-mind cannot comprehend this.

True mastery can be gained by letting things go their own way. It cannot be gained by interfering.

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘Thank You,’ that would suffice.”

This is my way! What is your way? The way doesn’t exist.
