Dr Wayne W. Dyer was an extremely popular and beloved motivational and spiritual speaker. He has even been heralded as the β€œfather of motivation." His book Your Erroneous Zones placed him in the public spotlight selling 35 million copies, and since that success he traveled all over the world giving seminars to those who wanted to change their life.

It's due to Dyer’s work and his efforts to creating a positive impact on the world that millions of people have awakened to their potential. Their lives have prospered, rippling out and influencing positive change in even more lives.

Wayne recently passed away and he viewed death as the next adventure. He has left behind an inspirational legacy and an abundance of lessons we can apply to our lives.

Here are some life lessons to help you get inspired from Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

1. Self-love is very important

β€œDon't equate your self-worth with how well you do things in your life. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't, you aren't.”

β€œWhen you trust in yourself, you are trusting in the wisdom that created you.”

β€œOther people's opinion of you is none of your business.”

β€œRemind yourself that you cannot fail at being yourself.”

2. Have an attitude of gratitude towards life

β€œGiving is the key to forgiving.”

β€œEach morning, when you open your eyes, think only three things: thank you, thank you, thank you.”

β€œBe in a state of gratitude for everything that shows up in your life. Be thankful for the storms as well as smooth sailing.”

β€œGratitude is a scared space where you allow and know that a force greater than your ego is always at work and always available.”

3. Your happiness depends on you

β€œHappiness is not something you get in life. Happiness is something you bring to life.”

β€œYou have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.”

β€œRemember that your natural state is joy.”

4. Only you can change your life

β€œIf love and joy are what you want to give and receive, change your life by changing what's inside.”

β€œBe the change you want to see.”

β€œHow others treat me is their path, how I react is mine.”

β€œEveryone is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.”

β€œWhen you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

β€œYou must be what it is you're seeking – that is, you need to put forth what you want to attract.”

β€œBe miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.”

5. Always treat others with kindness

β€œThis year I will remember that people are more important than things.”

β€œFrom thoughts to feelings to behaviors, your entire life shifts away from problems when you find your purpose by giving joy away.”

β€œSee the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.”

β€œWhen given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.”

6. Miracles are right in front of you and happen every day

β€œMiracles come in moments. Be ready and willing.”

β€œI am realistic. I expect miracles.”

β€œOnce you believe in yourself and see your soul as divine and precious, you'll automatically be converted to a being who can create miracles.”

β€œThere is a secret garden where miracles and magic abound, and it's available to anyone who makes the choice to visit there.”

β€œHave in your mind that which would constitute a miracle for you. Get the vision. Suspend disbelief and skepticism. Allow yourself to take the journey toward real magic.”

7. Embrace life and live your dreams as if they were already true

β€œNever forget that doing what you love is the cornerstone of having success in your life.”

β€œWhen you become certain that nothing is impossible for you, you'll attain everything you desire.”

β€œThe more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you'll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform you dream into reality.”

8. To find answers we must embrace the beauty of silence

β€œThe reality of life speaks to us in silence.”

β€œEverything that's created comes out of the silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness.”

β€œWhen I embrace silence, I experience miracles.”

9. How you think determines your reality

β€œYou create your thoughts. Your thoughts create your intentions, your intentions create your reality.”

β€œIn every moment of your life, remember that every thought you have impacts you.”

β€œAs you place more and more of your energy on what you intend to manifest, you'll start seeing those intentions materialising.”

β€œInitiate a habit of choosing thoughts and ideas that support feeling good and powerful, and that elevate you to a higher level of consciousness.”

β€œThe state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.”

β€œThoughts become things.”

β€œOur intention creates our reality.”

β€œThe greatest gift you were ever given is your imagination. Within it is the capacity to have all your wishes fulfilled. Look around you. Everything was once in someone's imagination.”

10. Appreciate and live each day to the fullest

β€œStop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live each day as it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.”

β€œYou'll seldom experience regret for anything you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message therefore, is clear: Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it.”

β€œDon't die with your music still in you.”

β€œGo for it now. The future is promised to no-one.”
