  • Wayne Walter Dyer (May 10, 1940 - August 29, 2015) was an American self-help author and a motivational speaker. Dyer completed a Ed.D. in guidance and counseling at Wayne State University in 1970. Early in his career, he worked as a high school guidance counselor, and went on to run a successful private therapy practice. He became a popular professor of counselor education at St. John's University, where he was approached by a literary agent to put his ideas into book form. The result was his first book, Your Erroneous Zones (1976), one of the best-selling books of all time, with an estimated 100 million copies sold.This launched Dyer's career as a motivational speaker and self-help author, during which he published 20 more best-selling books and produced a number of popular specials for PBS. Influenced by thinkers such as Abraham Maslow and Albert Ellis, Dyer's early work focused on psychological themes such as motivation, self actualization and assertiveness.

      This is NOT the "anti-vemom" to the "venom". It doesn't talk about how to address and heal from the real traumas that are the sources of the pain, suffering, "venom". 👎 1 should not have to "take responsibility" for traumas caused by others, and i know it means take responsibility for your own emotions and actions on how to handle it. BUT, that CAN'T HAPPEN UNTIL the person gets the love and support and help to treat the "venom" which is the source of it all. Otherwise the "love" given out from within still carries a desperation or resentment that is part of said venom.

    That Teddy story hits home. When I was a little girl my mom taught me that lesson with a cousin I had and didn’t like much. He was hyperactive and used to destroy everything. My mom tells me he will be staying with us a full day and I pleaded with her to not allow it because I was afraid he’ll destroy my books. She told me he was not going to misbehave and she was going to show me how. Well he came and as soon as his mom left and he was about to get into my books, my mom offered to read him a book. I remember to this day how still and hypnotized he was, he kept on asking for more books. When he left, my mom mentioned how he misbehaves because he needs more attention than he receives. I leaned a great lesson that day that to this day I remember clearly.

      The tricky thing is, we can't really let go of resentment because if we do, then there is no "I" to tell the tale. The "I" will therefore resist letting go though many clever, clever ways... Luckily, all we need to do is recognize that resentment is still there, that we (and no one) are not guilty for keeping it, but we'd love to think differently. We ask the Holy Spirit, God, or whatever we want to call it, for help, that we can look at things in a different light. That's all. We ask, wholeheartedly, and just make sure we're willing to recieve, to the best of our ability. The "I" gets to stay, and use it's functions, which means resistance won't be too hard (it will be there though, it just won't win the battle), but it slowly gives way to Truth.

    That Teddy story made me tear up. When I was in primary school I was a pretty bad student. I was poorly socialized and didn't know how to make proper friends so I was often frustrated and acted out. By the first quarter of 5th grade my teacher noticed that I was intuitively intelligent but wasn't applying myself so she took special attention and helped me channel my skills into school. Ever since then I've been an over-achiever and it has taken me to great places. I'll never forget Ms. Higgins.

    The Teddy story reminded me of my grandma. She was a primary school teacher for math and science in a public school of a small community in the south of Brazil. She told me that she would always look at those kids that were left out, that were not doing well in the tests, that wouldn’t pay attention in class. She would call them up to talk to them individually, and no doubt, they always 100% had some big problems of abuse and lack of love at home. She would see them, and give them the support and care that they needed. No doubt no matter where she goes, there are 40/50 y.o. People that recognizes her in the streets and shops of that town and will always remember Teacher Leda, and they all say how great a teacher she was to them.
    God bless all the kind teachers out there in the world that see and care about every children.

    I spent the majority of my 20s being bitter and resentful because people who were close to me turn their backs on me and hurt me tremendously. I always thought I was aa good person who was better than everyone and believed I had some kind of moral high ground but I had to learn that REAL GOOD people show it through action, they don’t just sit around and claim to be a good person and they definitely don’t sit around and judge others. Forgiveness, understanding, and healing are painful processes but nothing compares to the years of suffering I have already endured being alone and angry at the world and god. I hope everyone find the strength to overcome their challenges and to choose love and happiness over all.

    This all makes sense, but it has to be applied collectively. If you’re stuck in a family who resent each other and you’re the one who lets go of that you will be attacked by the others who still resent you. I’ve been trying so fucking hard for years now to sort my family out and reach a proper understanding. I do everything I can to be kind and at my very best. Frankly these online motivational quotes sound lovely, but don’t really work. Be humble and work hard and you’re going to suffer and other people will shurk their responsibility on to you. In the end I’ve realised that I’ve got no choice, but to walk away, no matter how much I love them and try my very best for them, it’s never enough. I’m tired and I hurt and I really don’t want to resent them for how hard they’ve made my life, how much pressure they’ve put on me so the only option left is to walk away

      You are missing the point. The point is that resentment never actually helps you in any way. You don't have to feel anything to learn from things that happened to you. All resentment does is hold you in a bind of learned powerlessness. There is no changing the past, and you can learn all the same lessons without holding on to things. He's not saying to not feel pain in the moment, he's saying don't hold it and don't assign it to things out of your control long term

      I have a background in the recovery world.. Too often people in recovery are told that when people have wronged them that it is still their fault. There is nothing more self-centered than to think that even if people screw you over that it's still your fault. Just to be clear: I say that this is a nuanced topic and deserves a full dissection. Resentment is normal and moving beyond them is even better.

      For me that looks like picking up a thing or two from my clutter instead of beating myself up for being a perpetual mess. Or allowing myself to make mistakes instead of berating myself. No one is perfect.

    I’ve often enjoyed some of the things that Wayne Dyer has taught, however, this time, while I agree with most of what he saying, it doesn’t apply to everyone. Yes, we need to let go of the venom that is left in our system because of what others do to us, but that doesn’t mean that we have to accept blame for it. He notes in there that we have to accept responsibility for putting ourselves in the situation and accepting our part of the blame. This is not always the case. As a child growing up in abusive foster homes, it was not my choice to be abandoned by my parents and shoved into the system. I was not to blame for the abuse that was poured out upon me. Fortunately, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I can apply the Lord’s teachings of forgiveness, and allowing the Atonement to heal me from any resentment. But accepting blame in order to do that, that’s not good counsel for an innocent victim who’s suffered abuse at the hands of others. 🙏🏻

      What about pedophiles who abuse kids their whole lives . I was that kid , then my daughters were those kids . I really don’t care that he was suffering to do that stuff - he made multiple CHOICES to abuse. This happens to so many people and they feel they must be doing something wrong by being angry or resentful. I understand that resentment keeps you imprisoned to that person , but I also don’t believe that the formula of looking at the other person and seeing it was only their level of consciousness at the time that allowed them to be cruel is healthy. Maybe for smaller acts of cruelty, but s. Abuse ? That kills another’s soul and it lasts a lifetime for many while these people “who are only acting from their suffering “ keep harming people over and over.

    This video came about right when I needed it. I’ve been experiencing lots of big life changes this year and doing my best to navigate them with the same grace, patience and compassion I’d want to be given. I first discovered Dr. Wayne Dyer early in college when our library had a book sale. His interpretation of the Tao was 50¢ and found me at a time in life where I was struggling immensely with mental health. I’ve read and reread that book and others many times. His book opened my heart and mind and spoke to my soul. His works are a big part of why I’m still here today. Rest in peace, Dr. Wayne Dyer❤

    If someone has abused you and you are really affected by it, this is something beyond your choice or supposed justification. It would seem to me that actual pain or harm is beyond justification or non justification.
    Contrary to the video: Most resentments are justified, and by seeing the truth of them you can then move beyond them and heal.

      @@chamicelsI don’t think an abuser has a straight path to Heaven. And forgiveness sometimes is too hard. But if you can, try at least not to keep thoughts of revenge, or how good it might feel to see your abuser suffer. Maybe you you can already do it. I think it’s a good beginning. Concentrate on your own healing, on moving on. I hope you don’t live with your abuser right now. If you do, concentrate all your efforts on how to get away from this situation. I don’t know how old you are, but if you’re young and your abuser is an adult, try to find someone you can ask for help. I don’t think you’re condemned to hell if you’re dealing with trauma. I really don’t.

      one of the only things that helps me be less judgemental, angry and resentful of myself, is to imagine a girlfriend, or a twin sister, or a very close friend, basically, someone you love, and see how I treat their underachievements, their flaws, their shortcomings, and so on. And then ask myself, why can I not treat myself at least half as lovingly.
      Some of us lack the self-respect, the self-love that developed more fully in others, and I am not sure how/if I'll personally ever get there. But I am at least trying to respect myself as I'd like others to respect those I love. (a lot of times I forget :)

    Admirable idea, and something i believed once. Then realised i was gaslighting myself in toxic positivity and depriving those that gave me reasons to resent, the opportunity to learn and grow by bathing them in validating compassion. And the behaviour got worse not better. Its false virtue to pretend its all my fault and i can love my way into another person changing.
    The bhagavad gita nails it on the head. The sutras i feel give a different teaching to this talk - punya vs apunua.
    Really, i wonder how the boys teacher relates to this idea of resentment, on basis of the examples given in the opening part of the video.

    I have so much hate and resentment. Since the beginning, I have shown nothing, but love. I was torn down and no one was there to protect me. Not even my own family who actually gave the hate in return. Eventually, I became a scapegoat, and although there were people who liked me. It felt like I had no one and was very lonely in this feeling of mine. I would cry myself to sleep almost every night beside my agitated sister, tired of my crying. I had to be the one to tell me everything would be alright. Now I'm very sick and tired. I have to deal with stomach and mental health issues which is just so infuriating. I keep hoping that things will get better but it's such a slow process and mistakes that I keep making. Mostly due to my past uncontrollable feelings. Trying to tell myself to keep going, I'm just so tired. I want nothing but to be away from everyone. I'm so tired of getting hurt and people telling me it's my fault. I know it's not my fault and I know it's also no one's fault which makes it so infuriating. I just want everything to be okay, but I'm just so tired of trying. But I know I can't stop trying because in another life I know the suffering will continue and I can't stop trying now because no one else but myself can pick me up. I just want so badly for someone to care for me. But they are tired as well. Maybe it's my fault for not reaching out, but I'm also scared of getting hurt. I'm just so tired of it. At least now I have more knowledge and am able to help people. I understand that hurt people hurt people, but it's also so infuriating. I didn't deserve all that hate. Now I'm the one who hates myself even though I don't want to. I know I don't want to kill myself, but I'm just so tired. I know I just want relief from all this pain.
