Notes on Dr. Dyer's Secrets for Success and Inner Peace

All,
Below are simply some notes that I took on the audio portion of Dr. Wayne Dyer's 10 Secrets to Success and Inner Peace. May it serve as a reminder that we are all one with our Source as well as give our souls the nutrients that it ever hungers for. May you all be blessed with peace and kindness.

Have a mind that is open to everything, and attached to nothing.
No one knows enough to be a pessimist. When we close our mind off from what is possible for us or what is possible for humanity closes off the genius that resides in each and every one of us.
Most people spend their lives looking for reasons to be offended.
You can’t give away what you don’t have.
People who are not good at giving away love, can’t give it away, because they don’t have it to give away.
You can’t give away love for others if you don’t have it inside you to give away. If what you have inside is contempt, anger, fear, then that’s what you’ll be giving away. If your message to the Universe is gimme, gimme, gimme, that’s exactly what the Universe will say to you. How about How may I serve? If you ask What can I give? the Universe will fill your life with abundance.
There are no justified resentments.
If you carry that hatred and resentment and anger toward others - all those things that you have told yourself that you deserve to feel hateful for - all that will end up destroying and hurting you. You must send blame out of your life for any conditions of your life. If you’re sitting there with a disease, if you’re sitting there with any tough situations in your life, whatever it might be that’s going on in your life, you’re willing to say that I am here because of the decisions I’ve made in my life - I am responsible for everything. I’m just not going to assign responsibility to other people for where I am. No matter what comes my way, I will not feel hatred for another - all that will come out of me will be love.
Don’t die with your music still in you.
There are no accidents here, we all showed up here with a purpose. Everyone of us has a divine purpose. However distant that music may sound, don’t get to the end of your life and know that you’re going to leave without having played yet.
Embrace silence.
There’s only one power in the Universe, it doesn’t matter what you call it (“You can’t get wet with the word water”). It is indivisible. It’s a way to consciously know your Source.
Give up your personal history
If you don’t have a story, you don’t have to live up to it. All of us have these bags of manure that we carry around called our past. Yet, even though you may have been (fill in the blank_______), but this is here and now. Merge yourself here and now. Embrace your past - accept it. I had to go through all this stuff in my life to go down this path and be where I am and now I release my past - I don’t need it; I give it up. The wake is a trail that is left behind. It is an illusion to believe that it is the cause for the now.

You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it
You must change your mind to change your life. Admitting you were wrong is simply saying ‘I have been making choices in my life that have not been effective/working and I am changing that - I was wrong.’ If I’m in a relationship with a person that isn’t working, what am I thinking about that person - I should focus on what I love about this person and not what I dislike.
Treat yourself as if you already were what you like to become
There is a genius in you - you must treat yourself as that and know that.
Treasure your divinity
In every work of genius, we often reject our own thoughts. They come back to us. We often see the things we think of as grand and genius and we reject them because they’re our own. We must learn to treasure our divinity instead of being terrified of it - knowing that I am always connected to my Source because there is no way that I cannot be. It is in you and you are in me and I am in you and we are always part of the whole and the whole is part of us. There is no place that this source is not.
Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts which weaken you.
Every thought in the Universe has an energy. If you have a thought of shame, fear, stress, anguish, anxiety etc, this will weaken your muscles and what is the heart, but a muscle. If you have a thought like this, shift it, we can always shift it. Shift it to a powerful thought, a thought of high energy, willingness, love, kindness etc. It’s what you expect, it’s what you think about, that expands. Change your thoughts and you change your world.
