"If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave"

- Wayne Dyer

About this Quote

This quote by Wayne Dyer is a tip to live life with intention and function. It suggests that when we live our lives out of a sense of obligation, we are basically living as slaves to the expectations of others. We become trapped in a cycle of doing what is expected of us, instead of what we really want to do. This can lead to sensations of distress and frustration. Living out of a sense of obligation can also avoid us from taking dangers and pursuing our dreams. Rather, we become stuck in a rut, unable to break free from the expectations of others. By dealing with intent and purpose, we can take control of our lives and make choices that are true to ourselves. We can create a life that is significant and satisfying, rather than one that is dictated by the expectations of others.
