Remarkable Quotes

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

“Any time you find yourself paralyzed by fear—in a word, victimized—ask yourself, ‘What am I getting out of this’? Your first temptation will be to answer, ‘Nothing’. But go a little deeper and you’ll ask why people find it easier to be victims than to take strong stances of their own, to pull their own strings.

You can seemingly avoid a lot of risks, avoid ever ‘putting yourself on the spot’, by simply giving up and letting others take control. If things go badly you can blame whoever is pulling your strings, call them bad names, and neatly avoid your own great responsibility. At the same time you can conveniently avoid having to change; you are ‘free’ to remain a ‘good little victim’, getting regular dividends of phony approval from the victimizers of the world.

The payoffs of weakness almost all come out of your avoidance of risks...If you are ready to give ‘operating from strength’ a serious go, you will have to stop placing other people above yourself in value and worth. Whenever you give another person more prestige than you give yourself, you have set yourself up to be victimized.”

“Most of us believe that money-making is a game that is played with forces outside of ourselves, forces such as the economy, the stock market, interest rates, the Fed, government policies, employment statistics and the like. But as you move along the spiritual path and begin to get a taste of the power of your invisible self, you discover that money-making is merely a game that you play with yourself. Creating money is just like creating anything else in your life. It involves not being attached to it, and not giving it power over your life in any way. Authentic power does not come to you from the acquisition of money, because without the money you would then be powerless. Authentic power comes from your soul, that magical place that is always within you.”

"People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives"

Stedman Graham
