Wayne Dyer From Ambition to Meaning: The Shift

I feel so lucky!! In one year I have met four of my favorite authors, people who have inspired me, in different ways, to be better, to grow and to know myself.

This time it was Wayne Dyer, who is in my top three. The amazing thing is that the first book I read from him was the Spanish translation of My Erroneous Zones, when I was only seventeen. At that time I was far from being spiritual, and my reaction to his book was of total disapproval. I can remember everybody talking about it, and when I read it, I thought that if I followed all his advice, I would become totally selfish. I had no idea that many years later I would get to admire and respect this man so much, and benefit from his wisdom to the point of changing my life.
I don't like to idealize people, no matter what they do, and try to see them as achievers and successful personalities that stand out for their intellectual, physical or humanitarian qualities. So I can say that Dyer is my number one spiritual leader. I am still exploring his work, but the more I read and the more I listen to him or watch him on PBS or on DVD, the more I understand his philosophy and his vision of how simple life can be. He is a happy person, therefore he is a successful person. He doesn't seem to be worried or concerned about his leukemia, and he takes things as they come and accept them with no resistance or frustration. He transmits peace and helps me focus on the things that really matter, leaving me with a sense of fulfillment and joy after listening to him.

I loved this video. What you will see is only one part out of thirteen. If you like it, you can find the rest on youtube. It is worth it... Enjoy!
