Wayne Dyer's The Power of Intention

I’m listening, for about the 12th time, to Wayne Dyer’s book on CD, The Power of Intention. The principles he discusses in this book, the Dyer Dozen, are just timeless. So here they are:

1. Want more for others than you do for yourself – that’s how God works!

2. Think from the end. See for yourself as already having accomplished and show up in your life that which is.

3. Be an appreciator rather than a depreciator – whether you appreciate or depreciate is up to you, but in either case, that which you appreciate/depreciate is what you attract to you.

4. Know that you are an object of wellbeing.

5. Notice resistance – it is the form that is taken in all of the thoughts that say "I can’t have it. I can’t do it."

6. Contemplate yourself surrounded by the conditions you which to create. Remember… the law of floatation was not discovered by the contemplation of the sinking of things!"

7. Remember the law of allowing – follow the path of least resistance.

8. Practice radical humility. Check your ego at the door.

9. Be in a state of gratitude for all that shows up!

10. Remember, you cannot relieve a problem by condemning it. You attract what you condemn.

11. Play the match game – match your thoughts to what you want, rather than not want. Rather than say "I need to lose 20 pounds, and I can never get this weight off", say instead, "I am the perfect body weight and eat a healthy diet that allows me to maintain the healthiest frame for me."

12. Meditate!!!! Just 3 to 5 minutes each day of meditation, which is simply focused thought on your breathing, will radically change your life.

I always find these principles energizing and great food for thought – hope you do too!
