This amazing little video is an excerpt from Wayne Dyer's PBS special titled “The Power of Intention.” Below is the transcript:
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Albert Einstein once observed that the most fundamental and major decision that you have to make in your life Is this: “Do I live in a friendly or a hostile universe?”
Which is it? Is it a universe that is filled with hostility and anger and people wanting to hate each other and people wanting to kill each other? Is that what you see? Because when you see the world that way, that's exactly what you will create for yourself in your life.
Now you might say to yourself: “How can I feel good when so much around me is bad?”
And I want to offer this to you as a very important and powerful piece of advice: you cannot get sick enough to heal one person on this planet, and you cannot get poor enough to make one person wealthy on this planet. No amount of you're feeling bad – when you say feeling bad what you do is you create something called resistance:
“I can't do this.”
“It's not possible.”
“I don't deserve it.”
And when you create this kind of resistance, you have emotions. And these emotions become sadness fear worry anxiety.
And what I'd like to offer you is a way for you to use these emotions that you are experiencing it any time in your life and use them as a system to say to yourself:
“What kinds of thoughts am I having that are keeping me from being in rapport with this field of intention?”
What kind of self-talk do we have? If you think about what is missing in your life and you talk to other people about what is missing in your life, don't be surprised if you keep attracting what's missing into your life.
If you think about what always has been, then don't be surprised if what always has been is what keeps showing up in your life. Because thoughts are energy. And the thought of: “It's always been this way, and there's nothing I can do,” resistance!
“What emotion am I feeling?” Frustration!
“I want to change that. What is my guidance system? I'm going to see how in harmony am I with the energy of intention. How in harmony with it am I?”
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations. Your consciousness expands in every direction. And you find yourself in a new and a great and a wonderful world.
Dormant forces, like forces that you didn't think were accessible to you, dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive. And you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. When you are inspired. When you are in spirit.
When you're in spirit, you are creating. When you are creating, everything is working.
Abraham Maslow once said the difference between self-actualizing people, the highest functioning people, and everybody else is that self-actualizing people must be what they can be. Self-actualizing people must be what they can be.
What can you be? What can you be?
