I just read “10 steps for success and inner peace” by Wayne Dyer and it is another book that I loved reading and got a lot out of!
In this book Wayne talks about some of the most influential secrets that he has learned in his life that have helped him and countless others be successful and find inner peace.
I loved the book and as always I always learn something from Dr. Wayne Dyer!
Below are the 10 Secrets and a snippet about each…
1. Have a Mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing - This seems easy but for most people it’s a little bit of a challenge. Growing up you are conditioned by people about your religion, race, political siding and more. When you become attached to things and close-minded you cut-off growth in your life. You want to always be learning and growing and evolving more because the more you grow the more your satisfying your purpose and life becomes!
2. Don’t die with your music still inside you - Harmony is a great word to keep in mind. What is your purpose? your inner calling? Remember to listen to your heart and your right brain. Your right brain is the feeling emotional side of the brain that intuitively knows what’s best for you. Be passionate and take risks because there is no such thing as failure. Failure is merely an undesired result. If you learn something from it you will grow and those failures bloom into beautiful successes. That’s the way the universe works! Be patient and wait for it!
3. You can’t give away what you don’t have - This seems obvious but it’s something to always be aware of! If you want more Love, wealth and happiness in your life you must learn how to emulate love, happiness and wealth and BE that. You must love and respect yourself, learn how to give. be open and willing to serve and appreciate everything in your life. When you understand this principle your life will be a living example of love, happiness and wealth because that is what you give out. By also appreciating you “appreciate” in value. Notice how appreciate is in appreciation.
4. Embrace silence - We live in a noisy world. Everywhere we go there is noise and it seems odd to have silence. Silence allows you to connect with your spirit and your higher self. By embracing silence you allow yourself to be creative, intuitive and listen to your heart. Silence is important because it allows you to connect with your purpose driven self instead of the self that everyone else expects and you react to. Nature is also a great therapeutic way to heal and connect with your purpose and stay connected to source energy.
5. Give up your personal history – A wake behind a boat is nothing more than the result of the boat moving forward. The wake is the past. Be sure to not be a victim of your personal history and allow yourself to be in the NOW. Don’t live in the past or future because by being in the now you allow yourself to enjoy life in it’s fullest entirety and stay connected to your higher self.
6. You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it – You don’t have a problem, you only think you do. There have been countless times in business where a “problem” arises and i’m not sure what to do. Every single time a solution has erased the problem. Not once have I overcame the “problem” that I faced. I believe that if you believe you will find the answer then you will. You just need to grow to a higher place to solve the problem. Your mind is no longer the same mind when you evolve and grow. Be sure to get out of your ego that probably got you into the “problem” in the first place and connect to your spirit and you will know the answer to the problem. Just because something is unseen doesn’t mean the answer isn’t right in front of you!
7. There are no justified resentments – Have you ever blamed someone else for being the way that you are? This can be one of the most self-defeating ego driven ways to not live a life full of abundance happiness and purpose. Stop doing that to yourself! You are the creator of your world. Make sure to forgive those who have wronged you in any way because by clearing those negative emotions you break free from the jail that held you back before. By clearing negative emotions you operate at a higher level of consciousness that is positive and doesn’t get offended. Keep evolving and focus on being your higher self!
8. Treat yourself as if you already are what you’d like to be – “As if” treat yourself as if you are what and where you’d like to be. By consciously creating your life and visualizing it you help create the creation process of being and growing into that. Be as if and before you know it you will be.
9. Treasure your divinity – You are divine, you are a god. You have amazing inspiration, energy and creation abilities that you don’t even know you possess yet. Don’t separate yourself from anything. You are connected to all and have manifestation power. Use it!
10. Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts that weaken you – In this life you have two types of thoughts that matter. You either have thoughts that weaken you or thoughts that strengthen you. Wisdom is choosing to embrace only positive strengthening thoughts. Empower yourself and choose to be optimistic and expect good things to happen. Why shouldn’t you have good things happen to you? Don’t answer that question because you deserve even great things to happen to you. Nothing you did excludes you from having abundance, happiness and a purpose driven life.
I hope that you got something out of these 10 secrets! I sure know that I did! I love reviewing amazing books like this one because I always learn more when i’m writing the blog posts!
Be sure to pick up the book and live out of your higher self!

Great post David. My fav: #4 and #9
David,
I like numbers:
1 – Be open and allow yourself to receive what's in store for your life. If you keep your mind closed you will only attract that kind of attention and that's not the kind of attention you want.
2 – You have a special gift – use it. If you don't all you'll have is regrets. I'm with the best of them and would like to make money online some day. I more so want to help people and make connections and be friends. That's where the real spirit and gift lies. Money is just a follower and for it to be attained you must be a leader. Lead.
3 – Back on the topic of money I think that unless you already have money you really can't give any way. Same goes for advice. On my blog I talk a bit about this so I'm not going to here. I will say that I see this as an opportunity for people on Twitter especially. If you haven't tried the product and it just looks good, don't Tweet it. Leave it. If it's something you learned or can use and it's a true benefit, okay. Otherwise, leave it alone.
4 – Every once in a while just be away from everyone and think. Nothing but silence. I like this one as it allows your mind to refresh or restart if you will.
5 – Too many people – me included, live in a world of the past or the future. It's good to dream and set goals. It's good to know where you came from. It's even better to live in the now and be moving forward in your life to better yourself from what you were and to move toward what you want to become.
6 – I really caught this one hard. It's kind of the same as my favourite author talks about in the sense that if you want to get anywhere you have to get uncomfortable first. You need to move from where you're at to a new place. This is hard for most people. If you're not going to die doing it then why not at least give it a shot – even just once? Nice one here.
7 – Take responsibility as you are the only person who created both the good and the bad in your life. If everyone did more of this, well, the world would spin slower and there'd be much more greatness to go around.
8 – This one is so important. Instead of saying I can't, say something like how can I or how do I? Act as if you're already there while you're working towards getting there.
9 – The energy around you is what you created. Make it good and good will make its way to you.
10 – Learn to channel out and leave behind and move on from the negativity that breaks you down into nothing. Lift yourself high in the mind of something better than what you were yesterday.
Hope you like my take on these!
Thanks Jamak! Embracing silence and your divinity is important! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your feedback Eric! I like what you said: “7 – Take responsibility as you are the only person who created both the good and the bad in your life. If everyone did more of this, well, the world would spin slower and there'd be much more greatness to go around.”
“The world would spin slower and there'd be much more greatness to go around”
This is true! great point!
Great post David. I've heard of Dyer but have never read any of his material. From the look of things he'd be an author I'd like. 5 and 7 are really good! Number 5 I'm working on right now. Looking at uncertainty as the spice of life, as a chance to improve. When you look at everything in the past, even the negative, as something that gave you a valuable lesson to learn it gives you a whole new outlook on your life. Even the negative seems beautiful and you can let it go, and stop dwelling on it. Number 7 I remember learning from reading Covey's 7 Habits(the fist chapter about control over your own life).
David, you've read a lot of books this month! WOW! I'm very impressed at your detailed posts and the lessons you take away from what you read.

Wayne Dyer is awesome man! Read “The power of intention” along with this book.
He is more of a spiritual teacher but spirituality is an important part of life and connecting with intention and the law of attraction…
I highly recommend his books! also If you get a chance watch “The Shift” which is a movie by him… it's so good! Thanks for the appreciation and encouragement Clinton!
David
David,
I'm glad you liked my points on this. Especially 7. It's nothing but the truth. No one else created the good or bad in your life – you did. Those who aren't willing to admit it have taken no responsibility and have given no credit where it should go.
On the same not as I have learned late last year is, if something terrible does happen that wasn't caused directly by you it's how you handle the situation that makes you who you are. A lot of this is from my favourite author Larry Winget. I like his points on things and I agree with him.
Bottom line though, it does come down to personal responsibility for anything in life. Live your life as if it's your life and on purpose.
Sounds great, I'll have to look into him!:)
