“Thoughts lead in to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.” ~ Tryon Edwards
So bottom line: Our thoughts lead to our destiny. Our thinking is what creates our reality. Experts say that we think approximately 60,000 thoughts each day and…
~ over 80% of those thoughts are negative
and…
~ we consistently think the same negative thoughts over and over.
Think about this: When was the last time you had a new thought? Or, do you simply re-hash the same old negative thoughts?
We are divine creators. In order to create, we must dream new and magnificent dreams.
If we don’t like the life we are living, we have the power to think a new thought ~ a thought that will lead to a new reality.
Think a new thought, dream BIG dreams!

"...Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now." ~ From Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke
"What questions would you like answered?"
Teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz
Last week, I was privileged and blessed to see and hear Don Miguel Ruiz here in NYC. An intimate group of about 80 people sat and listened to Don Miguel and Miguel Jr. share the principles of the Four Agreements.My take away from that evening was being authentic takes little or no effort or energy; while the ego takes a lot of energy.
This is so true. Just watch small children. They are content to just be. They can pretend to be, do, and have anything without any of the baggage attached, like worry, fear, and doubt. Once upon a time, we were those children. Remember? Somewhere along the way we bought the tapes that said we “should”: We should act responsibly. We should be realistic. We should be practical. We should grow up and act our age. We should stop dreaming.
We bought the tapes and we have gotten our money’s worth because we have played those same old tapes everyday, over and over and over again. Because of those tapes, we have lost our authentic self and live out of a false self, or ego. What we need to do is bring back our authentic self. Dream, play, vision, imagine, laugh out loud!
Just for today, be childlike and dream big!
“Bless those who remind you of your unfinished business.”
When there is conflict and strife in your life, instead of pointing fingers at others, STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK:
“What is my part in this?”
“Why is this conflict showing up for me at this time?”
“What is my next inspired action in this?”
Answer: Bless and thank those who showed you what you need to work on and go work on it!
Do you want peace or do you want to be right?
Choose peace, it’s simpler!

“Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.” ~ Marilyn Ferguson
Fear keeps our lives small and limited. On a very basic level, fear protects us and helps keep us safe. It is when that protective fear becomes much bigger, turning into a gripping, paralyzing fear. Then this is when the dreams we have imagined begin to move farther and farther away from us.
In order to move from a place of fear to a place of faith and freedom, we must always run towards the thing that we fear. Doing something new will always bring about a certain amount of fear – this is absolutely normal. Once we have done the thing we feared, the death of fear is certain.
Run towards your fear,
Coach Carolyn
