There’s an old saying– and we hear it A LOT in the personal development world…

Let’s look at what happened.
Peter saw Jesus standing out on the lake. He thought it was totally cool that Jesus could do that and he wanted to do it, too. (He KNEW what he wanted!)

So what happened? Peter stepped out of the boat, started walking on the water and within a short time, sank.

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has Rules:
The set of Rules:
1. Everything that you didn’t spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend It.
4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.
5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time, it can say, “Game Over!” It can close the account, and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?
Today is the day we tie it all together. I’m about to unveil the final “A” in the C2A3 formula for getting what you want in life. But before I do, I’d like you to stop for just a moment and consider what I’m saying here. This is the precise formula you can use to…
GET WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE!
For real. and it’s not just something I “dreamed up” last week. This is THE FORMULA that we have followed for OVER 20 YEARS.

MY boss wrote this about Wayne Dyer at the end of August 2015. Dr. Dyer was the motivational guru and author of dozens of self-
We got the news yesterday that Dr. Wayne Dyer passed on.
And while it’s not a loss for Wayne– as I believe he’s really digging being able to hang out with God and ask all those questions he was always pondering;-)…
…it IS a huge loss for the “personal development” world as a whole.
Wayne Dyer has been a part of my life for over 20 years. His work has had a profound influence on me in so many ways. If for any reason you haven’t read his books or listened to his audio messages, I strongly encourage you to do so.
In the meantime, as a way of honoring Dr. Wayne Dyer, I wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes from him:
