Oh, how I wish it wasn't true.
I wish I could take a magic pill and POOF! All the positive change I want in my life suddenly manifests. Yeah, I wish it worked like that.
After decades of searching, I am confident there is no magic pill. Bummer.
There is good news, however. What I discovered and have verified time after time, over nearly 30 years of studying mind, body and spirit, is that the power to make healthy change exists in each one of us. It's in me and it's in you. The message is clear. If you want to change anything in your life, it starts with you.
Want greater physical health? It starts with you. Financial stability? It starts with you. Want more joy and happiness in your life? It starts with you. Want better relationships? It starts with you.
This last realization was a real eye opener since I had held on to the belief that others in my life just needed to straighten up. Nope. The quality of my relationships, and everything else, start with how I think about them. My thoughts lead to my actions and how I interpret the actions of others.
That's right. The power to change starts with you and your willingness to think differently. I love this quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer:
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
So what are you willing to see differently? What change do you want to see in your life in the next year? Remember the good news...it starts with you.
