I began reading Wayne Dyer’s book “Excuses Begone!” today.  The book teaches readers how to change the thinking and belief patterns that restrict us and prevent us form living and becoming our true potential.

I am intrigued by what the book has to offer.  I have integrated as a central concept in my life the idea that I create my reality through my beliefs, my expectations and my internal mind chatter.  I live a life relatively free of self-defeating sabotages.  However, I know that there are still a few limiting beliefs, or excuses as Wayne Dyer calls them, that I have allowed to hang on to me for much longer than what they really should have.

There was a moment of hesitation in me before I committed to the book.  As you can imagine, letting a book into my life means that I will be allowing for concepts centered around a topic to claim my attention and provide a new prism through which I will be looking at the world.  I will be committing myself to examining and untangling my limiting mental webs.  And to be honest with you that seems like work to me.  I would have preferred a book that inspires me and encourages me to create the life I want, which always seems so easy, so joyful and playful to me.  But then reason settled in.  I asked myself, “How could I build a dream without having first cleared away any and all debris?”  Therefore, I welcome the opportunity to work on those mental paradigms that no longer serve me.

Here are a preview of the PBS special that Wayne Dyer based on his book and an excerpt from the same program.

If you want to learn more about the book and get a feel of what the process of creating the book and applying the concepts to his life felt like for Wayne Dyer you can read an interview with him here.

Have you already read “Excuses Begone!”?  Was there something about the book that you particularly liked?  Did you find passages in it that encouraged you to shake off your old story and allow yourself to become the glorious you?  Please let me know.
