DOWNLOAD EBOOKWilliam (Bill) Coulson experienced the reality of The Wisdom of Children in his everyday life as a young child, whenever he received unconditional love or forgiveness, especially when he did not deserve it, from a childhood friend, a family member or one of his teachers, who continued to offer him wonderful opportunities for fun & adventures during his childhood in a small rural farming community in Nova Scotia, Canada.A quote from Bill, "When I became an adult, l began to understand how it is possible to relive the powerful unconditional love of my childhood by embracing the love from everyone & everything around me, as I once did when I was a child, when I intuitively understood that the primary purpose of my life is to share unconditional love & nurture true friendship with my friends & family. The wisdom I learned as I reconnected with my childhood ability to love life passionately enabled me to help other adults to kill the pain & suffering in their lives that was preventing them from feeling the continuous love, peace, joy & compassion of their childhood during each moment of every day of their future adult lives. This is why I wrote our book called "Practicing The Wisdom of Children" with the help of my son, so I could leave a legacy of wisdom for my friends & family and my future grandchildren, so they will become able to protect their childhood ability to love life passionately and not lose it as I did and then have to find it again. And now this desire to help other human beings has expanded to include you, the reader of our book, who will benefit from practicing this wisdom, as you begin sharing the increasing unconditional love that this wisdom will bring into your future life. When we are born, each of us is given a compelling desire to seek a unique & special purpose for our life that motivates us to start asking questions about the meaning of our lives on Earth, whose answers will help us to understand why each of us is given this opportunity to live a potentially wonderful human life, as we begin to ask & answer these questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here on Earth? What is my life's purpose?Your life's purpose may be different from mine, but I know from my personal experience that fully reconnecting to your childhood ability to live your life with wonder, excitement, intrigue, puzzlement, and the profound satisfaction of loving everyone & everything around you, will add powerful childhood passion to your adult life. Fortunately, The Wisdom of Children helps us to embrace our childhood ability to love life passionately, as we share ever increasing unconditional love & forgiveness with our friends & family and as we fulfill the unique & special purpose for each of our lives, which makes us worthy of living on Our Precious Mother Earth."
