What Do You Think? ( Some Questions for You)

Introduction

I've been writing books designed to help people realize their own magnificence, while overcoming any and all self-imposed limitations, for past 35 years.  While these books have largely targeted adult populations, the essential message applies to all of us, from infancy on up. 

A few years ago I wrote a book called _10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace._  I created it so that my own teenage children would have a message in one place from their father that contained the ten most important ideas and practices they might choose to adopt for living a happy, fulfilled life. 

In this book, I've taken those same ten ideas and framed them for the youngest of those among us.  I believe that you cannot start early enough to teach the essential lessons for living a successful and peaceful life.  In fact, I feel that reading these ideas and communicating them—even to your unborn child—makes perfect sense. 

I've been reading children's books to young ones for as long as I can remember.  My oldest daughter was born in 1967, and my youngest in 1989.  I have a total of eight children and four grand-children, and reading to them at bedtime has been one of my all-time favorite blessings.  It is my desire to have all of the children of the world grow up knowing within that they are indeed _incredible, divine beings_.  This book was written and designed with this one idea in mind. 

I've included several pages at the end of this book that contain questions and illustrations.  When I read to my own small children, they loved it when we'd create our own story to match up with the drawings.  Here, you can have your little angel answer the questions and participate in creating his or her own version of what to say in response to these colorful and imaginative drawings. 

It is my desire to have these tiny, precious souls—so many of whom have brought so much joy into my life as they listened to my stories—close this book and feel so good about themselves that they feel in their hearts that nothing is impossible for them.  It would be even more thrilling for me if this becomes the book they choose each night... so that a special person—like you—can read it to then over and over again. 

I send you oceans of love. 

—Wayne W. Dyer

#1 SHARE THE GOOD

There is good in you and in everyone.   
Sharing this good with others is fun.   
You have so many ideas inside your mind.   
Set them free!  you are one of a kind. 

#2 FIND WHAT YOU LOVE

Think of something you love to do.   
That is your passion, so let it shine through.   
Never let fear hold you back.   
Do what you love—you're on the right track. 

#3 YOU ARE FILLED WITH LOVE

Your heart is like a magic cookie jar.   
All the love you need is never far. 

So reach inside and let that love out.   
And it will come back to you without a doubt. 

#4 FIND A QUIET PLACE INSIDE

Life can sometime be so loud.   
It's hard to listen with all those sounds!   
Go to a quiet place inside.   
There your mind can wander or just hide. 

#5 MAKE TODAY GREAT! 

In your life, plenty has happened so far.   
That's part of what makes you who you are. 

But don't worry too much about yesterday.   
What matters is what you do with today. 

#6 CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS TO GOOD

Some problems are big and some are small.   
Thinking good thoughts can help you solve them all. 

You can ask for help with what's bugging you.  And never forget—God is always there, too. 

#7 TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

If something or someone makes you feel bad,  
don't let it ruin your day by making you sad.   
Let go of the hurt and take care of you.   
You can't control what others say or do. 

#8 PICTURE WHAT YOU WANT

Pretend you are what you'd like to be.   
Make a picture in your mind so tou can see  
that what you want can come true.   
If you believe in your heart, it will come to you. 

#9 EVERYONE IS SPECIAL, ESPECIALLY YOU

There's something on Earth that all people share.   
It's the source of all good and love everywhere.   
What is this great mystery, you may say?   
It is God that connects us together this way! 

#10 GOOD THOUGHTS GIVE YOU ENERGY

Bad thoughts zap your energy.   
Happy thoughts make you strong and free.   
It's a choice you make each day,  
so choose to be happy—that's the way!
