Wayne Dyer quotes

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over head, and a place to 
sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of the world. Just that - doesn't that call for some
gratitude? If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed
than the million who will not survive this week because of illness. If you have money in your
bank, any money in the bank, or even in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace,
you are among the top 8 percent of the world's wealthy. 92 percent of the people don't have
that. If you can attend a church meeting without fear, that is fear of arrest or torture or
death, you are more blessed than 3 billion people in the world. If you've never experienced
the danger of battle or the lioneliness of imprisonment or the agony of torture or the pangs of
starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world today. If your parents are still
alive or still married, you are very rare - even in the United States. So, if you have the
opportunity to think as you choose to think, to worship as you choose to worship, and you
have a little bit of change in your pocket, and you've got your health, then you got someone
that cares about you. Then you have an awful lot to be grateful for. And treasuring our
divinity means being in a constant state of appreciation, looking for occasions to be joyful, to
be happy, to be in a state of gratitude. Every time I find a penny or a nickel or a dime on the
street, anytime, I bend over, I pick it up, and I say, "Thank you, God" as a reminder of the
abundance that flows into my life - when I'm just walking and breathing. Treasuring your
divinity doesn't mean not having respect for God. It means respecting the God that is always
with you.
Wayne Dyer
