Never Forgets

Last night, very late, Dr. Wayne Dyer, a man I respect and follow as a teacher, as a guru, if you will, was on PBS with a show from his latest series entitled, "Excuses Begone," lovely man, lovely teaching- grab hold of it- it will bless your life. Dr. Dyer is a never forget in my life; ask me about the first book I came to know from him, "Your Erroneous Zones," and I can tell you the gist of that book- why? Because we remember powerful influences. One more time, why do I remember that book, why will you remember them, as they occur,  
WE REMEMBER POWERFUL INFLUENCES, it is, no matter how you look at it, interesting that Dr. Dyer in this latest outing discussed powerful books which he has read, and powerful influences upon his life.  We remember powerful influences.  Influence- the ability to sway someone- the ability to affect a change of course in someones life- the ability to make someone pay attention to your ideas, and overcome their fraudulent and self defeating ideas.  Influence; and that influence always, watch this- always, has a cost!  One more time, influence, always has a cost.  No great leader, no great influence has ever happened without the cost associated with it being paid, to believe that you can influence others, without paying a price for doing so, is not a valid belief.  So the question then becomes, what is the price- and is that price going to be worth it to you to pay?  What's it worth to you to see one person who is an alcoholic to walk away from the booze?  What's it worth to you to see one person who has surrendered their soul to Meth, to come off it?  Dr. Dyer points out something interesting, we can, overestimate our ability to influence, and certainly that can be disastrous, but also, we can estimate correctly what the worth is.   What really does make me wonder about this great nation of America, is, are we becoming people who aren't willing to even consider the price?  Dr. Dyer considered the price, and owed up to it, and today influences many people to better their lives.  His life is a testament to the wealth and glory and wonder and awe and yes, love, which can result from such giving.  But not all of us are Dr. Dyer's are we?  Or, are we all, in some degree and fashion, just that powerful, only we want to choose to limit ourselves not to be?  Please don't fail to answer your heart on this one, and share away, that's what this blog is all about.
