Wayne’s Weekly Wisdom
“What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.”
Creating an Inspired Life
The energy you give to the Universe is what is reflected back into your daily life. Release yourself from the need to want things and focus on giving. This holiday season is the perfect time to practice sharing with those around us. Share with the world, the people and nature, in which you live. Ask the Universe how you can give back. You’ll notice how your thoughts begin to change to give you a positive life.

In the words of Wayne Dyer:
Oneness with our Source is achieved by becoming like it, and its essence is giving and sharing. Therefore, in order to know our purpose and heed our ultimate call to inspiration, we must also become a being who’s more focused on sharing than receiving.
This Universe works on the Law of Attraction – so the more we shift the focus from our desires to wanting more for others, the richer we become. When we tell the Universe to “Gimme, gimme, gimme,” it responds in like fashion, and we find ourselves feeling put upon and out of balance. But when we ask the Universe, “How may I share?” it will ask, “How may I share with you? You are a being of sharing, and I return the same energy back to you.”
Now this may at first seem absurd, particularly if we’ve been raised on an ego consciousness that’s stressed the need to “look out for number one,” and “get what I can before someone else does.” But I assure you that when we make the transformation to a being of sharing, the question of how to become inspired will disappear. So whenever we find ourselves “wanting more,” the solution is to do more for society, for humanity, or for the environment. Any act of sharing as a response to our wants leads to feeling inspired. The fact is, it just plain feels good to do something for others.
Understand that this isn’t necessarily about giving our possessions or money away; rather, it’s about living in the same vibrational energy as our Source and attracting that energy and offering the love we feel for all of life, first in our thoughts and then in our actions…and that’s how we make a connection to inspiration. This is because we’ve become one with our Source in thought and then action, or as Goethe put it so perfectly, “[W]e still possess the greatest of all freedoms, the power of developing our innermost selves in harmony with the moral order of the Universe, and so winning peace at heart.” A being of sharing frequently thinks in those terms.
When we contemplate our Creator, we realize that God simply gives and imparts without demanding anything in return. We aren’t required to give to, pay homage to, or do anything for God. It’s our demands that distance us from feeling inspired – so we need to let go of them and extend ourselves in an attitude of sharing. I speak here of an inner transformation in which extending love outward is our predominant disposition. This can take the form of a silent blessing toward someone we might have previously judged, a loving greeting, a kind remark, or a thought wishing the highest good for all concerned. As simple as it sounds, this is the ultimate impetus for feeling inspired.
