The unexpected passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer has had a big impact on me. He was an amazing teacher who inspired me (and millions of others) for many years. He was also someone I was honored to have met a few times in the past few years when we both spoke at events for our publisher, Hay House.

In this video blog message, I talk about one of Wayne's core teachings: how we can make the shift from ambition (focusing on our goals, achievements, status, possessions) to meaning (focusing on fulfillment, joy, purpose, and what and who matter most to us).

This important lesson was the core theme of a film Wayne made a few years ago called The Shift. I'm filled with both sadness (for his death) and gratitude (for his life). He clearly didn't die with his music still in him. Thank you, Wayne!
