10 Secrets for success and Inner Peace
written by Dr Wayne Dyer
This is a lovely little book I believe is worth having in your ‘wellness’ kit. Below I have copied the Introductions to each 10 Secrets from his book.
The First Secret
I wish to say what I think and feel today,
With the proviso that tomorrow perhaps,
I shall contradict it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I always entertain
Great hopes
Robert Frost
Have a mind
That is Open to
Everything and
Attached to
Nothing
The Second Secret
There is just one life
For each of us:
Our own.
Euripides
A musician must make music,
an artist must paint,
a poet must write,
If he be at peace with himself.
What a man can be, he must be.
Abrahan Maslow
Don’t Die
With Your
Music Still
In You
The Third Secret
No man who is occupied in doing
A very difficult thing and doing it
Very well, ever loses his self respect.
George Bernard Shaw
As soon as you trust yourself,
You will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You can’t
Give Away
What You
Don’t Have
The Fourth Secret
Solitude, in the sense of being often alone,
Is essential to any depth of meditation or of
Character; and solitude in the presence of
natural beauty and grandeur is the cradle of
thought and aspirations which are not only
good for the individual, but which society
could ill do without.
John S. Mill
Perhaps one of the greatest
Rewards of meditation
And prayer is the sense of
Belonging that comes to us.
Bill W.
Embrace
Silence
The Fifth Secret
Florence Farr once said to me, “If we could
say to ourselves, with sincerity, ‘The passing
moment is as good as any I shall ever
know,’ we could die upon the instant
and be united with God.”
William Butler Yeats
Here lies my past
Goodbye I have kissed it,
Thank you kids,
I wouldn’t have missed it.
Ogden Nash
Give Up
Your
Personal
History
The Sixth Secret
Any path is only a path, and there is no
affront to oneself or to others, in dropping
it if that is what your heart tells you.
Carlos Castaneda
Any man can make
Mistakes, but only an
Idiot persists in his error.
Cicero
You can’t
Solve a
Problem with
The same
Mind that
Created it
The Seventh Secret
The happiness of your life depends
upon the quality of your thoughts. . .
take care you entertain
no notions unsuitable
to virtue and
reasonable nature.
Marcus Aurelius
God does not command
that we do great things,
only little things with
great love.
Mother Teresa
There
are no
justified
resentments
The Eight Secret
It is necessary to the happiness
of man that he be mentally
faithful to himself.
Thomas Paine
First say to yourself
what you would be,
and then do what
you have to do.
Epictetus
Treat Yourself
As if You
Already Are
What You’d
Like to BE
The Ninth Secret
There are only two ways to
live your life. One is as
though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though
everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
In the faces of men
and women, I see God.
Walt Whitman
Treasure
Your
Divinity
The Tenth Secret
Believe that life is worth living, and
your belief will help create that fact.
William James
Nothing is, unless our thinking makes it so.
William Shakespeare
Wisdom is
Avoiding All
Thoughts That
Weaken You
Ok, so that is the introduction to each secret in his book. I sometimes forget I even have this book, and then in a dark moment it always seems to appear just when I need it.
