Like so many others, I've admired and followed the work of Dr. Wayne Dyer. This man was someone who exuded love and compassion at the core of his being. Millions of people have been influenced by his work. His work has changed and saved many lives.
As you must know by now, our beloved teacher transitioned onto the next phase of his journey. This being truly shocking news, I must say I felt devastated and truly at loss. I was taken back by the deep sadness and pain I felt by his passing. However, even in my grief, there was a quiet voice within me that said, "Wayne has now passed the baton. He has taught his lesson and we must now continue his work. OUR work."
I have many colleagues and friends whom I consider light workers and healers (actually we ALL are, whether we acknowledge it or not). There's a movement that's evident in our planet. A movement to live fully, passionately and on purpose! There's a need to reject past beliefs that holds us back, and turn inward for our own happiness. A need to love completely and contribute to the lives of others.
I am forever grateful and changed by Wayne's work and words. I'm no different than the millions of people whose life he impacted. But, it's now up to us who mourn the physical lost. It is now up to us to carry on and live his teachings. To show love and compassion wherever we go. To forgive quickly, and play our music while we're alive and not die with our music still left in us, as Wayne often said.
So, I turn to you. What music's inside your heart that longs to be expressed and shared with the world? Isn't it time you played and shared that music? Isn't it time you fully express your calling and honor what makes you comes alive? You were born to shine. Let us honor this beloved teacher's life by living his message and showing up fully in our time here.
The baton has been passed. It is now our race to run. Will you step up or continue to let your fears keep you stuck? Standing at the starting line watching others run the race. Yes, some runners may stumble and fall. Some may be excruciating slow, and last in the pack. But guess what, they're still running. Let us honor Dr. Wayne Dyer's legacy by tightening up our shoelace and joining the race.
Thank you Wayne Dyer for playing your music with so much love and passion. Your legacy lives on forever!

HuffPost's GPS for the Soul app is based on two truths about human beings. First: We all have a centered place of wisdom, harmony and balance within us. Second: We're all going to veer away from that place, again and again and again. What we need is a great course-correcting mechanism -- a GPS for the Soul -- to help us find our way back to that centered place, from which everything is possible.
Because no one knows better than you what helps you de-stress and tap into that place of peace inside yourself, it's important for you to create your very own GPS guide -- a personalized collection of whatever helps you course-correct. Email us at GPS@huffingtonpost.com and we'll set you up with your very own HuffPost blogger account to share your guide on the site. If you're already a blogger, we encourage you to upload your personal guide today. We can't wait to see what you have to share.
