Happiness Is the Way Quotes

The important thing is that yours is the way you want it to be.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“3. You are not your mind. Just as you talk about “your” body, you also talk about “your” mind. This implies that you are the owner of the mind. “I was thinking this morning” means that you are the thinker of the thought, the “I” who thinks it. When spiritual teacher Nisargadatta Maharaj was asked if the mind is the true person, he replied, “Examine closely and you will see that the mind is seething with thoughts. It may go blank occasionally, but it does it for a time and reverts to its usual restlessness. A becalmed mind is not a peaceful mind. You say you want to pacify your mind. Is he, who wants to pacify the mind, himself peaceful?” What a great line this is: “Is he, who wants to pacify the mind, himself peaceful?” You, reading this book, want to have a peaceful mind. Is the you who wants to have the peaceful mind yourself peaceful? That’s who you are. Again, it’s the observer—that’s who you are. You are not the thought, you are the observer of the thought.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“You choose how you feel, you choose what you do, you choose who you are.”

“I realized that there is also a wake that each one of us leaves behind, consisting of everything that has ever come into our lives. This includes all the experiences we’ve had as well as our beliefs, everything that our parents, our religious training, our schools, and so forth have taught us with the best of intentions. You have to understand that nothing that constitutes your history is driving the boat called your life, any more than the wake in Florida was driving my friend’s boat. What drives your life is the present-moment energy you’re generating, not your past. Hanging on to this idea that you have to be the way you’ve always been because of what has happened to you is as fruitless as believing that the wake drives the boat. You have to let go of that notion.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“amazing: Most of the time, kindness and love really work to get other people to understand that they can’t treat you with disrespect. But if it doesn’t, then you have to go to plan B and plan C and even plan D—it all comes from this internal belief in who you are as a human being.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“some kind of kindness. If that doesn’t work, I immediately go to another employee or to a supervisor, or I leave the situation altogether. I will not stand there and be physically, mentally, intellectually, or spiritually abused by anyone, ever, because I know that in allowing this to happen, I have given that person permission to treat me that way.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“It’s vital to maintain a sense of spirituality about yourself, a sense of compassion and caring and love and decency for everyone you meet. Treat conflict and difficulties that come your way as opportunities to learn how to transcend them. You don’t have to use hatred and anger and bitterness and beating somebody else down in order to get to this higher place of purpose. Finding your calling doesn’t mean abdicating your role in life; it doesn’t mean you can no longer do whatever it is you choose to do for a living. You’re just coming from a place of peace now. When you begin to see that you can make your life unfold exactly the way the universe unfolds, with a real sense of perfection and harmony and peace for”

“In your heart, all you have to do is purify yourself in such a way that you simply say, “Love is forgiving.” Now, that last part can be both two words and one word. When it’s one word, it’s forgiving, which is what we’ve been discussing here. But it’s also for giving, so it’s a gift, meaning that you don’t ask anything back of it.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“You don’t learn much from a victory except to stay the same.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“Because the universe returns to you what you send out, it is imperative that you are a person of integrity.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“Here’s something to work on instead. Repeat the following to yourself: I fill myself with love, and I send that out into the world. Those who accept it, that’s wonderful; those who don’t, that just happens to be where they are now. There is a karma to this planet that I’m only beginning to understand, but one thing I know is the importance of taking responsibility for my suffering, for my pain, for my difficulty. I understand that when I send out love as my reaction to anybody else’s anguish, I will get love back.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“That’s ridiculous. Focusing on one person who doesn’t like what you say makes their opinion count more than your own self-worth. Remember, what others think of you is none of your business! Self-worth comes from the belief that I have integrity, I am valuable, I am attractive, I am important. You don’t have to go around saying it; instead, you have a quiet love affair with yourself. This is something you can teach your kids as well.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way

“I can never be in charge of how other people are going to perceive me, because that’s their opinion and they’re entitled to it. Again, I can’t control that. The only thing I can control is my character, which comes from my thoughts and the love I have inside, not my reputation and what other people think of me.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Happiness Is the Way
