The wisdom I gained from meeting Dr Wayne Dyer
|
Tim Shurr VIP Newsletter I met bestselling author and psychologist, Dr. Wayne Dyer on five separate occasions. I still have a photo of the two of us together. He once told a story that I still think about today. Imagine someone hands you a million dollars and says you can walk into any store and buy whatever you want. So you find a rug you think is hideous, pay ten thousand for it, and have it delivered. Then you go to a dealership, pick out a car that's ugly and uncomfortable, and send that home too. You keep going all day. That evening you walk into a house full of items you can't stand, and you wonder why your life looks like this. Wayne said, “The psychological term is for is you’re crazy!” The real answer is that this is exactly how thought works. We can put our attention on anything we choose. Most of us spend the day buying what's hideous and uncomfortable (focusing on stressful thoughts,) then wonder why the house (or our life) ended up this way. He also said, “Trying to fix your life by rearranging what's outside you is like shaving in the mirror instead of on your face.” Here's something you can do with that today. Three times between now and bedtime, catch a thought as it arrives and ask yourself one question. “Am I buying this?” Not fighting it. Not arguing with it. Just noticing whether you want it in the house (or your head). That's the whole practice, and it will take you further toward going with the flow than effort will, because effort is usually what we reach for once the room is already full of things we never wanted. If you’d like the longer version of how those purchases get made in the first place, I wrote an insightful book about it called One Belief Away. It's $9.99 and you can get it here: Thanks for reading… :) Tim Tim Shurr, MA |

Hi Reader, Dr. Marty Seligman spent decades studying learned helplessness, depression, optimism, and happiness. One of the questions he became fascinated with was this: Why do some people go through incredibly difficult circumstances and shut down, while others go through equally difficult circumstances and somehow become stronger? His early research on learned helplessness showed something profound. When people repeatedly experience situations where they feel they have no control, no choice,...
Hi Reader, There’s something I say during private coaching sessions that has become very important to me. After someone makes breakthroughs in how they think, behave, or handle life, I say, “I’m very proud of you.” It's heartbreaking to hear so many people get quiet and reply, “Nobody’s ever said that to me before.”Grown, capable adults. People running companies, raising families, or holding everyone else together…never really feeling appreciated. Something else interesting is that the people...
