Stop the excuses! - Book Tip




"If you contemplate with thoughts that match originating Spirit, you have the same power as originating Spirit" - Wayne Dyer


I'm reading this wonderful book right now, called 'Stop the excuses!' by Wayne W. Dyer. It's a book that helps the reader change old, outdated thought patterns and start living creatively in the now.

In the first part of the book, Dyer teaches us why it is possible to change patterns in our 'unconscious' mind. Anyone who doubts that it's possible to teach an old dog new tricks will be helped by Dyer's excellent summary of recent research about human thought processes and neurology. He relabels the unconscious (which makes it sounds inaccessible) habitual mind and shows us how it has been infected by mind viruses, or memes. Both the habitual mind and our normal waking awareness, or creative consciousness, can be brought under the control of our higher mind. The last section of part one covers the whole catalogue of excuses that we as humans are likely to use in order to resist growth/change.


In the second part of the book, Dyer outlines 7 Stop the excuses! principles:


  • Awareness - Become aware of your potential for greatness and the power of your mind.

  • Alignment - Align yourself by thinking like God thinks.

  • Contemplation - Contemplate what you are, rather than what you want to become.

  • Willingness - Be willing to allow health, happiness, and success to flo into your life.

  • Passion - Be passionate about everyone and everything that enters your life.

  • Compassion - Want more for others than you do for yourself; that is, be compassionate.

The third and final part of the book (which I'm just about to begin reading) helps the reader implement the Stop the excuses! paradigm by posing questions that can be used as reminders for staying aware and aligned with Source.

If you are ready to stop the excuses and fully embrace life, this is a must read! Free your spirit!!!
