The Number One Thing I Learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer (The Victor Mindset)
Dr. Wayne Dyer is often referred to as a Motivational Speaker and Self-Help Author. Many call him: “The Father of Motivation.”
Personally, though, I like to think about him as someone who embodied what I like to call the Victor Mindset!
Similarly to other spiritual and self-growth leaders I’ve mentioned in previous posts, such as Tony Robbins or Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer didn’t have an easy childhood. He spent many years in an orphanage (Wayne’s father abandoned his family).
Yet, despite being brought up in different foster homes, he turned obstacles into opportunities. He never gave up!
As a result of his positive determination, he created a purpose-driven, abundant life while helping many other people do the same. So, even before we dive into Dr. Wayne Dyer’s quotes, I’d like you to stop for a second and think about the Victor Mindset!
For me, personally, realizing the importance of choosing to embody the Victor Mindset was one of the best discoveries on my manifesting journey.
Because the Law of Attraction, Manifesting Power, Magic, whatever you want to call it, is not something separate from us. It is INSIDE us!
When you realize how powerful you really are and honor that power, manifesting is no longer something you “have to learn” but something you do as a natural extension of who you are…
So, back to Dr. Wayne Dyer Quotes, his self-made success, and what we can learn from him…
The main thing that holds so many people back from manifesting their desires is that they are still stuck in the past.
I’m not saying this to belittle anyone’s trauma or diminish what they’ve been through in life…
Entirely on the contrary…One of my main intentions for this post is to help readers turn inwards and transmute any past challenges and obstacles into opportunities!
I genuinely hope that the essence of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s work will help you unleash your inner magic. Never forget that you are a powerful creator, and you can become magnetic to your desires!
So, choose to stay in the Victor Mindset because this is how you can create a better future for yourself!
That being said (or written), let’s look at my favorite quotes from Dr. Wayne Dyer and my personal interpretation of them.
Thank You, Dr. Wayne Dyer, for your life-changing legacy, and thank You, my Beautiful Readers, for supporting this blog and choosing it as your source of Law of Attraction inspiration.
Dr. Wayne Dyer Quotes on Manifesting Magical Relationships
#1 “Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Whether it’s a relationship with yourself or others, you can choose to release judgment right here, right now.
You will soon notice how much more energy you have…and why not use that energy on manifesting your desires? When you focus on judging (yourself or others), you focus on external circumstances and lose touch with your inner magic.
Judgment leads to negative emotions of anger, sadness, guilt, and resentment. These can’t lead to anything positive…
Start by accepting yourself and others. It’s as simple as that.
#2 “Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
The best way to create your inner freedom is to respect other people’s rights to choose and create their own freedom without judgment.
#3 “What you feel is wrong or missing in your relationships is an indication that something is amiss within you.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
While this may sound harsh to some people, and several years ago, I’d probably have gotten triggered by this quote, it contains the essence of the Victor Mindset!
Always look inwards and make inner changes in your energy, mindset, and emotions. You can’t change other people, but you can always work on You and improve your life.
I will also add that the best way to approach this lesson is from a place of curiosity and freedom from guilt, judgment, or people-pleasing. Instead, use it as inspiration for inner growth. The Universe provides feedback, so you know what to focus on in your inner work.

#4 “A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the Universe.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
By allowing yourself to feel peaceful and clearing your mind from negativity, you attract more and more peace and positivity. What you focus on expands!
Meditation is one of the most joyful ways to clear your mind from negativity.
If you want to dive deeper into my meditation process, I highly recommend you check out my book: Manifestation Meditation. It will help you dive deeper into the concept of clearing your mind while focusing on manifesting your desires. Creating inner peace is one of the fundamental pillars of joyful, heart-based manifesting!
#5 “You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Even though, sometimes it may be hard to realize….Especially when we get too caught up in complaining or focusing on the negative…this valuable lesson is the gate to shifting out from negativity.
Turn inwards. Focus on gratitude. Because when you do, your life becomes magical. In fact, whenever I talk to someone new to manifesting/ the Law of Attraction, I advise them to focus on gratitude before anything else.
Gratitude can be your #1 (and only) manifesting technique, and it will help you raise your vibration and unleash your inner magic.
Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Quotes on Cultivating Inner Peace and Self-Love
#6 You don’t need to be better than anyone else; you just need to be better than you used to be.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
As they often say in self-development circles, if you compare yourself to others, you get bitter. But if you compare yourself to yourself from yesterday, you get better!
Of course, the comparison we’re making here is positive! It’s all about embracing self-love and positive self-talk.

#7 “Expressing gratitude for the miracles in your world is one of the best ways to make each moment of your life a special one.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Don’t wait for miracles. Create them and embody them by embodying the attitude of gratitude! As I’ve often shared in my books and articles, I began my gratitude practice thanks to Rhonda Byrne and her book, The Magic.
And I will repeat it, if there’s only ONE thing you decide to do for your manifesting practice, focus on gratitude. It will make anything else so much easier, fun, and more magical!
#8 “Here is an affirmation for today: I feel passionate about my life, and this passion fills me with excitement and energy!” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
We’re always affirming something to ourselves…so why not affirm something positive?

#9 “Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Yes, I know…the same quote again! It’s not an editing error, though. I’m repeating it because we can also use it to embrace self-love and be kind to ourselves! We can use it to silence our egos and be more in our hearts. Stop trying to satisfy your ego, and focus on the joys of your heart.
#10 “When you’re at peace with yourself and love yourself, it is virtually impossible to do things to yourself that are destructive.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
I live by this quote! Since I embarked on a journey of self-love/spiritual wellness and began affirming how much I loved myself and my body, I automatically felt inspired to eat better, give myself quality sleep and prioritize self-care.
I didn’t “have to force” myself into anything…My healthy actions reflected my new embodiment of unlimited self-love and self-compassion!

#11 “Love is my gift to the world. I fill myself with Love and I send that Love out into the world. How others treat me is their path, how I react is mine.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
An excellent comparison that comes to my mind is: “Clean your side of the street.” So many people fear giving love because they fear their kindness may not return to them.
And yes, sometimes, this may be true. But why depend on such a conditional way of giving and being kind? Why not give love freely?
From my experience, the love and positivity we put out always comes back to us magnified. Release any attachment to how the love you give out comes back to you.
Just know that it will! For example, you may be kind to person A, and they don’t reciprocate that kindness. So what? You did your part. You followed your values. You are not responsible for other people’s reactions. And the love you put out may come back to you from person B, or somewhere else. You give love because it feels good to you and enriches your life.
And the more you embody your new way of being, the more loving and giving people you will attract.
Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Quotes on Personal Responsibility (aka the Victor Mindset)
#12 “Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It’s not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
One of my favorite mantras is that it’s never too late and that the best time to change is NOW, in this very moment.
From my experience, whenever I make a firm decision followed by aligned and inspired action, the Universe always helps me out.
#13 “With everything that has happened to you, you can feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
This goes back to the Victor Mindset. Keep reminding yourself that you are a resilient and super-empowered creator. Whatever happened to you in the past is now transmuted into positive fuel and motivation.
Also, remember that you’re not alone. You have an entire team of divine beings, angels, and the Universe willing to help you. Keep going and choose to embody your best energies.
This is how you help yourself and others!

Dr. Wayne’s Dyer’s Quotes on Embodying Your Best Self
#15 “Your children will see what you’re all about by what you live rather than what you say.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
As they say, actions speak louder than words! And even if you don’t have children, this quote applies to all areas of your life. If you want to lead, teach and inspire others, focus on embodying your values and live by them. Let others notice your continuous transformation and allow them to get inspired by doing your part!
#16 “Remind yourself daily that there is no way to happiness; rather, happiness is the way.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Think happy thoughts. Start a gratitude journal. Be kind to yourself and others. Embody happiness and make it your way of living. You can always choose!
#17 “Life gives exams and unless you learn from your mistakes you are doomed to repeat them.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Be good to yourself. We all make mistakes! There’s always good in bad. Any “negative” situation or experience can be transformed into positive life lessons. So, see everything through “the lenses of positivity” and allow your reality to match your new attitude.
Dr. Wayne’s Dyer Quotes on Personal Empowerment
#18 “Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
I will only add this: I used to be the Queen of Waiting and Putting Things Off.
Now, however, I like to ask myself: “What can I do now, today?” Because I know there’s always something I can do to get closer to my vision.
I also realized that waiting and putting things off often makes us “stuck.” I believe the Universe rewards those who honor their creative power and keep moving forward!
#19 “Keep doing what you love to the best of your ability. Stop judging and get out of your own way.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Remember that it’s never too late to follow your passion. Replace excuses, such as: “I don’t have the time…” or: “I don’t know how…” or: “It’s too late…” with more important questions, such as: “How can I manifest more time?”, “What can I do today?”, “How can I get started?”.
Your mind is like a search engine. When you ask the right questions, the right answers will follow!
Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Quotes on Spirituality
#20 “Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
This quote reminds us of our true power, that of Infinity! I don’t know about you…but whenever I reflect on our Infinite Power and who we truly are, it feels like all my perceived “problems” magically vanish away.
One of the practices I recommend is to be more in your heart and less in your mind! Bathe in the joys of your heart and feel into the infinity of your soul.
#21 “Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Keep releasing all the “should’s”.
Stop “shoulding” yourself. Instead, focus on what makes you feel good and appreciate it!
Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Quotes on Manifesting and the Law of Attraction
#22 “I am realistic – I expect miracles.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Whenever I desire to manifest something and then get overwhelmed by my desire because it feels too big, I tell myself: “That’s OK! Because even if it feels impossible to me now, I can always manifest it by miracle.”
I then focus on inner peace, gratitude, and all the miracles I’ve already manifested in my life. Miracles happen every day. It’s all about learning how to see them everywhere! Remember that what you focus on expands.
#23 “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Whatever your desire to manifest into your life, remember to enjoy the journey. Because the journey makes you stronger and grows your manifesting muscle. It’s up to you to make your journey as enjoyable as possible!
#24 “Present-moment living, getting in touch with your now, is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Remind yourself of this quote whenever you feel stressed that your manifestations are taking too long or “it’s not working.” Worrying only slows things down…and it’s such a waste of your emotional energy!
Use your thoughts creatively and take care of your inner state. Dive deep into the present moment. Because your point of power is NOW, in this very moment. Remember that you’re loved, happy, safe, and protected.
#25 “You must become the producer, director, and actor in the unfolding story of your life.” – Wayne Dyer
Don’t be a “passive manifestor” waiting for some new LOA technique to save you. Instead, embody the role of a mindful creator or, if you believe in a Higher Power, a mindful co-creator.
You are co-creating with the Universe! So, embody the Victor Mindset & Energy!
#26 “Rather than looking for miracles, shift to seeing everything as miraculous.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Remember that you are a miracle, your life is a miracle, and it’s all a magical game of life! Don’t wait for the miracles outside yourself; instead, turn inwards!
#27 “The Universe provides abundantly when you are in a state of gratefulness.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Want to manifest more money and abundance? Be grateful for all the money and abundance you have received (and continue to receive) in your life.
Approach everything with joyful gratitude. For example, even if your current job is not your dream job, you can choose to be grateful for it and embrace positive feelings of being well taken care of financially.
When you are grateful for what you already have, manifesting your new, dream job will be much easier, more joyful, and more fun!
