The Second Principle:
You can’t give away what you don’t have
.
“Be enthusiastic about all that you do . . .
enthusiasm literally means
‘the God (enthos) within (iasm).'”
.
Think of the people you know who give love in response to negative energy that’s directed their way. There aren’t many people who respond lovingly in that situation. The ones who do are able to because they have love to give away. They know that it’s impossible to give away what they don’t have, and they’ve gone that extra mile to acquire what it is that they want to both attract and give away.
If love and joy are what you want to give and receive, then begin by taking stock. What have you got to give away? What are you giving out to the universe, and thus, what are you attracting? Remember that you can’t give away what you don’t have, but you can change your life by changing what’s going on inside. When you have love within you, fear cannot survive . . . ‘Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.’
If what you give is self-respect and self-love, the universe will return the love and respect you’ve been radiating. It’s really so simple. As the Beatles said: “The love you take is equal to the love you make.”

The Wayne Dyer videos that I had put into this and the other posts from this series were removed from YouTube – I am doing my best to replace them when I find suitable substitutes.

The passion that you feel is God inside of you beckoning you to take the risk and be your own person . . . Rudyard Kipling declares, ‘If you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same . . . yours is the earth and everything that’s in it.’
Being Passionate Means Taking Risks
You’ll find your passion in what inspires you the most . . . When you’re inspired, you never have to ask about your purpose . . . What is your passion? What stirs your soul and makes you feel like you’re totally in harmony with why you showed up here in the first place?
Know this for certain: Whatever it may be, you can make a living doing it and simultaneously provide a service for others . . . the only thing that will keep you from playing the music you hear and marching to the unique drumbeat you experience within, is fear.
The Myth of Failure
Failure is an illusion. No one ever completely fails. Everything you do produces a result .. . Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love. Love for yourself. Love for what you do. Love for others. Love for your planet.
Low energy attracts low energy. Low energy thoughts, such as anger, hate, shame, guilt, and fear, weaken you. And they attract more of the same. By changing your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace, and joy, you’ll attract more of the same, and you’ll have those higher energies to give away.
The Love Equation
To begin to change what’s inside you, become more loving toward yourself. In your thoughts, cultivate an inner voice and attitude that’s 100 percent on your team. Imagine an inner self that only supports and loves you. You might schedule a certain time of day when that’s the only thought that you allow yourself to pay attention to. Gradually this loving attitude will extend to other people. You’ll begin to receive this energy back and ultimately be able to send thoughts of love and joy to everyone and everything in your world.
Make a pact to remind yourself often of this secret of not being able to give away anything that you don’t have. Then work on your personal program of self-love, self-respect, and self-empowerment, and create a huge inventory of what you wish to give away.

It’s so sad and even tragic that many people die with their music still in them. I can think of three in my family: Mom, Dad and Sister, and there are even more. Maybe that’s why I’m always encouraging and sometimes pushing everyone to live their life to the fullest.
I love this Eric!
I just discovered I have the video mismatched… oh well, I’ll mismatch the next one too to make up for this goof of mine… its all good anyway. 😀
Glad you love it Diana. 🙂
Blessings.

Wayne Dyer’s movie The Shift certainly emphasises the whole point of not dying with the music within you.
Great post Eric.
Thank you Suz…I have the video and I have used it occasionally in training (its a bit long though for most training situations)
I found an interesting q/a with Dr Dyer and The Shift video (full) here to add:
Wayne Dyer began his career as an author in the early 1970s by traveling the country alone and selling his first book, Your Erroneous Zones, from the trunk of his car. That book went on to sell more than 30 million copies and became the best-selling book of that decade.
Despite a childhood spent in orphanages and foster homes, Dyer has overcome many obstacles to make his dreams come true. Today he spends much of his time showing others how to do the same. As an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development, he has written more than 30 books, 18 of which have been national best-sellers. Several of his books have been featured as PBS specials, which has resulted in raising over $150 million for national public television. When he’s not traveling the globe delivering his uplifting message, Dr. Dyer is writing from his home in Hawaii.
Here is the video:
Ambition to Meaning
Wayne Dyer
The Shift
Here is a q/a:
We [Guide to Better Living] recently spoke with Dr. Dyer and got the inside scoop on the making and spiritual meaning of his new film The Shift and how he has coped with some of his own unexpected life challenges.
Q. What kind of shift will your film help people make?
A. It’s a shift from ambition to meaning. Moving away from identifying ourselves on the basis of ego, such as how much we earn, what we do, etcetera. I’m in the process of turning this into a movie that everyone will know and talk about. My goal is to have 10 million people watch this movie, to truly make a “shift” in this country. I chose 10 million because that equals pi, or 3.14 percent, of the population. When you reach that number, you reach phase transition or critical mass, and then the rest of the population begins to align. They say that only 10 percent of Americans regularly read books. Making this movie provides a vehicle to be able to reach a lot of people who will never read a book.
What’s a memory that stands out about the making of the movie?
That’s easy. At one point, after I had done a scene many times, I realized that I was trying too hard. I even asked myself, “Why am I doing this film?” I realized I was trying to be an actor and remember my lines. Then I remembered that the words in the script were only guidelines; I just needed to be myself.
What’s the most important, life-changing thing you want people to learn from this film?
That every one has a dharma, a destiny, a “calling of the soul.” Every bird, every tree, every person comes into this world with something it is destined to do. All of the other creatures on the planet don’t get confused about this; they are what they are. Human beings, because they take on a false self, or ego, start to believe that what they do or what they have defines them. The Shift illustrates that when you are at peace and you let go, you will be guided into your dharma. You will be living a life of meaning rather than ambition.
What are some of your all-time favorite movies that have touched or inspired you?
My very favorite is Déjà Vu by Henry Jaglom. I’ve seen it 50 times. This film opens up all the possibilities about life, love and fate — you begin to realize that this Universe has endless possibilities. Brother Sun, Sister Moon, the story of St. Francis of Assisi, is my second favorite movie. I also loved Forrest Gump and A Man for All Seasons.
You’ve recently been diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). What can you share about this experience?
When you come into this world with big dharma, you get big challenges. This is just another one of them. As a child I lived in an orphanage. My parents left me when I was little. My wife left me. I have had serious addictions in my life that I have let go of. I will be able to understand it, make it work for me and help other people. I haven’t judged it or been angry with it. I am not worried about healing it. I am working to live with it. I think when you fight anything, you weaken yourself. I am inviting it to stay in peace and harmony with me or leave. It’s up to it. It’s just another life force. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross said, “When you shield the mountain from the windstorms, you will never see the beauty of the carving.” That’s how I feel about it.

Amazing isn’t it?
I knew about the selling of his first book because I heard him speak at a writer’s conference.
I wasn’t aware he had Leukaemia however.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂
ready for the woo-woo?
After he was diagnosed with leukemia, Wayne Dyer decided to have an unconventional surgery with healer John of God. The twist? John of God was in Brazil; Wayne was in Maui. Watch as he describes the surgery and how he felt immediately thereafter:
How did Wayne feel after his “sutures” were removed? Plus, watch to find out how he’s feeling today:
“… everything that is fear cannot be love…everything that is love cannot be fear…”
He is proof that the ways are mysterious ways of spiritual blessings from love. Stories like Dyer and others gave me pause… love is of God. This man and his work is of love.

Agreed.
Listening to Wayne Dyer I hear only love and compassion.
Whether he believes in God as churches define God or not, he is a deeply spiritual man.
