The One Thing, That Is EVERYTHING

One of the biggest blessings in my life is that I am associated with some of the biggest game changing thought leaders in the world.One of those people is David Meltzer.  I was introduced to him a few years ago by my friend, Sharon Lechter. I cannot tell you how much I love these two humans.

Dave is brilliant in so many areas of life, both personally and professionally, and has said some of the most profound things to me. In one of our mentor calls a few years ago I shared my story of losing my husband and son with him and how I feel when I first wake up in the morning because of these losses. I have since shared, with so many people, the next words Dave said to me and it has made a huge difference in their lives as well as mine. He said,

"Carey, there is only one original thought in your day and that is the first thought you have. Every other thought is a reaction to that first thought which then directs how you will choose to feel and act that day.”

Let that sink in.

Much of my personal growth and healing have come from that pivotal moment, and taking that significant statement to heart. Each morning, in my quiet time, I check in on what that thought is and choose to change it if necessary. Some days are easier than others but I have come to learn that this is absolutely EVERYTHING!

You CAN choose to change your feelings, actions, and even habits you have had for years, by focusing on, simply being aware of, and changing your thoughts. It’s really that simple and so very powerful.

This past year, I have worked on this intensely and I can feel how I have changed from the inside out. As a result of this, things are coming to me much more easily than before.  I am EXCITED about who I am and what I am now being called to do!

Work on yourself first and the change and success you seek comes TO you. More on this to come…..
