It's time to claim your power.

Hello guys, so little do you know that I am refilming this intro. I had filmed the entire episode, I uploaded it like to my RSS feed, everything, I listened to it and the intro is gone. It's just not there and instead of the intro playing, it's just the outro of the podcast, the automatic one. I don't know why, what's been going on, but we're back, I'm refilming this.

So to just start off this episode, I wanted to say that today we're going to talk about 21 lessons from Dr. Wayne Dyer. Basically this morning, I was listening to a Dr. Wayne Dyer video on YouTube where he was talking about 101 lessons that will transform your life. And so what I did is I listened to all of it and I took all the lessons that really resonated with me and I wanted to share them with you. I think that's

They are super, super powerful. They will transform your life. And so without further ado, let's get into it. Lesson number one, know in your heart that there is divine intelligence in everything. When he said this out loud, I had the greatest sense of peace and like just like this warm feeling of love inside of me because it resonated with me so much.

This idea that you should walk around everywhere that you go knowing in your heart that you are divinely guided. That source, God, the universe, whatever you believe in or you want to call it, there is intelligence behind everything and everything that has happened in your life up to this point, up to this you watching this podcast.

has been divinely guided. Lesson number two, the door to higher levels of awareness opens inward. Most of us spend our lives facing the wrong direction, looking outside of us for the solutions to our problems. Wow.

every okay by the way i'm gonna say wow until every single lesson because i was listening to that video and i was just speechless everything that he was saying was just wisdom that has impacted me like no other but this idea that we go around so long in our lives looking for other people looking for our external circumstances to solve our problems to make us feel good about ourselves

And this idea that the doorway to self-awareness and to feeling good and to self-transformation is always inwards. And when we face our doorway outwards, when we look for external circumstances to make us feel good, to find all our problems and all our solutions, we will never be happy and we will never be satisfied because we are running away from doing the inner work.

And when you face yourself in front of the mirror and you realize the things that you need to work on yourself and you see your triggers and you see your past and you see your wounds and you do the inner work and you have that sense of self-awareness,

That is how you transform your life. Lesson number three, there are no accidents in the universe. Everything and everyone that shows up in your life has something to teach you. And I'm a really firm believer in this. This idea that even the people who have caused you so much pain and so much confusion in your life, they have shown up to awaken some strength within you, to show you something deeper within yourself.

And every single person, like I have this belief nowadays in my life that every single person that I accidentally run into or that I meet or that I have an experience with, that's no accident. And I bless those experiences because they're either a blessing for me or they have a big lesson in the skies and something to teach me. And so when you run into someone, when you meet someone, when you have a certain situation or experience with someone,

See it from a wider point of view. See it from an observer perspective. What does this person have to teach you? What emotions has this person inflicted in me? What has this experience taught me about myself, about who I want to become? And when you walk around with that sense of awareness, you will also attain a way greater sense of peace. Lesson number four, forgive yourself for your past transgressions. Release yourself from the tyranny of self-incrimination and make the decision to be free.

Do you know how many people walk around in this loop of self-sabotage, of taking down your own self-esteem, of guilt-tripping, of shaming yourself, of lack of self-forgiveness, and that is why they are miserable. When you are able to forgive yourself, you are able to set yourself free.

Because at the end of the day, the greatest relationship that you will ever have is the one with yourself. You wake up with yourself. You look in the mirror, it's yourself. You go to sleep, it's with yourself. Your inner dialogue is with yourself. And when you're putting yourself through this tyranny of self-incrimination, of self-doubt,

of self-shaming, you will never be free in your life. You will never feel free. And the second that you forgive yourself for your past, for your mistakes, for the past version of yourself that you were, and when you forgive yourself for all those things and you forgive yourself for those experiences and you realize that you are not them anymore, you are a new person, you are wiser and you are stronger and you go through life knowing

that you love yourself and that you are deserving of forgiveness and that you are valuable, you will just transform your entire life because you will stop living in this negative pattern where you are literally toxifying your own life. You will take back the responsibility for your life and for your happiness. And that is incredibly valuable. Lesson number five, on a round planet, there's no choosing upsides.

We are here for a reason and have divine energy flowing through us. So this idea, what he was talking about when he was sharing this lesson is you're on a round planet. And so if you believe that you are not one with everyone else, if you pit yourself against other people and you live through a life of hatred,

you are gonna be in a loop because there are no taking sides. This planet is round, meaning that everyone around you has something to teach you and everyone around you makes up source and makes up God and life and the divine. And so you see the love in other people, you also see the love in yourself.

and you see the hates and the lack in other people, that's also a reflection of something that you see inside yourself. Lesson number six, release the belief that anyone told you that something is impossible or unrealistic for you. Allow yourself to make your own contract with the universe about what is truly possible for you.

And the way that I see this lesson plan out for me in my life is don't tell everyone your plans all the time. Don't tell everyone what you want to do with your life, what are your biggest dreams, a new relationship. Like, you don't need to share all those details with every single person in your life.

And when you're in this energy of I'm allowing myself to maintain the things that are important for me for myself and you don't need to share all your accomplishments and all your goals with everyone around you, you're also not allowing other people to come into your life and give their unsolicited opinions and advice and maybe reap on what you desire. You have your own contract with the universe of what you want, of what you desire, and you keep that between you and the universe.

You and the universe only. Stop parading all of your plans and all of your big dreams and goals to everyone around you because when you're doing that, you're allowing everyone around you to have access to that desire, to have access to that energy and to that dream. Keep it between you and the universe and allow your success to speak for itself.

Allow everything that you accomplish and all the love that you experience to speak for itself. You do not need to share everything with everyone. Some things like your big dreams, you can keep inside yourself so that that is where all possibilities exist for you. Lesson number seven, work at being content with who you are rather than pleasing others by being inauthentic.

And he was also talking about this one affirmation that he suggests to always say, and I love it, and I'm going to take it with me in my life, and that is, I am what I am. And you are going to stop changing yourself to fit the mold of what other people have of you, of what you're supposed to be, and you're going to just start being yourself.

And when you start being content with who you are from within, you will also stop having this internal desire to please every single person around you. Because if you're able to please yourself, you're most likely going to be content with who you are and you will no longer seek that validation from other people.

But if you look to please other people all the time outside of you, you will never be content with who you truly are because you will always be this inauthentic version of you and you will grow to resent everyone around you because you're not your true self. Lesson number eight: What you think about expands. Use your imagination to create images of bliss of what you want to occur in your material world.

This idea that your thoughts hold so much power is incredibly life-changing because what you believe and the images and the ideas and the concepts and the thoughts that you tell yourself in your head over and over and over again every single day and you play it like a broken record is going to determine the way your life course unfolds. And so imagine yourself

What would you be like if your thoughts, if you started to pour your thoughts and your energy into what you do want to experience into your life, into what you do want to see more of, into what you do want to call into your life. And imagine how amazing, first of all, you will start to feel when you put your thoughts into that place. And imagine how much your life will physically begin to shift and change when you put all of your energy into a new place, into new thoughts, into new ideas.

And that is not to say that like you're always going to think positive because that's honestly impossible. But when you become the observer of your negative thoughts and instead of giving them power and energy, you realize that they are no longer controlling you and you take your power back from them and you decide what to think. You decide what you give power to and you start giving your energy to what you do want to experience in your life. You will also start seeing your life actually physically transform.

Lesson number nine, try to get back into nature at least every single day in some way or form.

Nature's therapy, okay? Like I can now tell you guys, just going on a walk outside for 10 minutes and breathing the fresh air, even if you live in a city like New York or anywhere that's like very urban, even if you can just go to a park and put your feet on the grass, you will feel a shift in your nervous system and you will feel so connected to the earth and that is so powerful. And maybe it's going to the beach and watching the sunset and putting your feet in the sand or going to the woods.

whatever it may be do it for yourself even for just five minutes every single day you will start to see a shift in how you feel lesson number 10 and this is a concept that was actually taken from the bible but it's love your neighbor the way that you love yourself if you want people to show up in your life with kindness and patience and compassion and empathy and love then you need to show up with that

same exact love to other people in your life. Lesson number 11: Relax about the future and try to let it go. When you relax and get peaceful about your life, you become inspired and you become in the flow. When you are constantly worried about the future and what's gonna happen and everything that's gonna happen in the far

off future, you're taking yourself out of the present moment, out of the now, and that takes away the magic of what life truly is. Because the only moment that exists is the now. And so every time you find yourself going down the spiral of what's going to happen, how are things going to unfold for you, try to bring yourself back to the present moment. Because when you're in the present moment, you will also attain the most peace and you will feel the most

inspired and the most calm and grounded lesson number 12 let other people work out their life the way that they need to you don't always have to be right or you don't always have to be someone's savior or be fixing everyone around you

And this idea will bring you a lot of peace into your life because so many of us enter relationships trying to be Bob the Builder or trying to be this fixer-upper where we see people as like DIY projects and we think, okay, we're going to change them, we're going to fix them, da-da-da. And you're taking away that person's free will when you do that. You're not giving that person a fair chance

at discovering themselves on a deeper level and at finding out who they truly are and who they want to be. Because you're trying to mold them into someone that you want them to be and not who they truly are. And so stop trying to be this fixer-upper for other people. Let it go and just try to start seeing people for who they truly are and who they want to become. And you're also, when you're doing that, you're giving people a fair chance of showing you

who they want to be to you how much they value you how much they see you when you're constantly trying to mold people to be who they are to control them to force them to fix them you're not letting them be who they're meant to be you're letting them be who you want them to be and if you don't want that done to you don't do it to other people lesson number 13 every single time you find yourself in a situation where there's chaos where there's confusion say this affirmation to yourself

In my world, nothing goes wrong. Everything that is happening to me right now is in divine order. Lesson number 14, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Lesson number 15, and this is something that has completely changed my life, this one lesson, and it's surrender and turn over your problems to God and your higher self.

This is something that I started doing around two years ago. And it's this idea and modality that when you're feeling chaotic, when you're feeling confused, when you feel like you don't have the answers and you can't control the situation anymore the way that you want it to, what you need to do in that moment is completely surrender your problem and your issue to God. You need to tell God in the universe, I surrender it to you. You take the steering wheel. You show me the path.

You unveiled to me the answers. You allowed the journey and the path to show me the way. You light it. You light the path. And you give that to the universe. You surrender it to God and you stop trying to control the situation anymore and you just let it go. When you're in this energy, something shifts. When you're in this energy of finally surrendering it to the universe...

something just clicks and you will start seeing synchronicities and you will start seeing the answers come to you instead of you chasing them. Lesson number 16, when you have the choice to be either right or kind, choose to be kind.

Lesson number 17, your past does not define who you become. You define who you become. You are not your past. You are not that past version of yourself that didn't know any better, that wasn't as wise, that wasn't as strong. You are not your past.

You are your potential. You are infinite potential and you choose how you look at the past and what stories you tell yourself and what you take away from it and who you become following that. Lesson number 18, do everything from a sense of higher calling. Take your career objectives and instead of making them from a place where you are self-absorbed and self-inclined, you are doing it because you are being in service to others from a higher calling because you're fulfilling your purpose.

And when you take those things and every single thing that you do in your life, when you're pursuing dreams or talents or things that make you happy and that you're good at, when you're doing it from a place of I'm being of service to others because me following my purpose will inspire other people to do so as well and will inspire more love and light in the world.

and you're doing everything because you're of service to others and to God and to the universe, you will also see how much more success and abundance you attract into your life because you're no longer doing things from a place of lack and from a place of ego. You're doing things from your higher perspective. For example, every single time that I film an episode for the podcast,

I set an intention that what I'm going to talk about today is going to empower somebody else out there. Even if it's just one person, like when I started the podcast and I had no listenership, I was hoping to empower even just one person, just to be in service of one person in life.

and help them be inspired and change their life and empower them in one form of another. And obviously that has expanded to something completely bigger because the Claim Your Power podcast is now a global movement, but that is exactly why it has turned into something so much bigger and has allowed me to reach such a wider sense of audience because

I'm doing things from a place of intention and of love and because I want to help other people and be in service to others. And so you guys around me feel that energy and that's why you're gravitated towards listening to the podcast. So every single thing that you do in your life, do it from a sense of self-love and also love from others and from a sense of fulfilling a higher purpose. Lesson number 19, practice giving without having the need to receive something back.

When you give someone a gift, when you are reaching a hand to someone to help them, don't do it from your ego because that's not the type of energy that you want to be in. If you're giving to someone, give fully from your heart because that's what you want to do in that moment. Do not expect anything back and when you don't expect anything back, you will naturally receive things back because energy cannot be created nor destroyed and what goes around truly comes around.

Lesson number 20, keep a journal and write down all your thoughts every single day. Gratitude, everything that's aching your soul, things that are on your mind, things that you want to release, write it down. Scripting is a very powerful technique that will shift your life. And lesson number 21, you cannot always control what goes on outside of you, but you can always control what goes on inside.

You cannot control everything in your life, right? But you can always control your response. You can always control how you view it, how you perceive it. And that is where your true power is. And that is truly how you transform your life. Because two people can be living the exact same life, have the exact same parents, the exact same childhood, be the exact same race,

be like grown up in the exact same place but one person can have a negative mindset that keeps them stuck in a loop and another person can be in an abundance positive open mindset that sets them free beautiful souls thank you so much for joining me in today's episode feel free to leave a review or dm me any topic suggestions i hope you feel inspired to claim your power today
