Last Saturday evening, I was reminded of something both simple and profound:
Our thoughts matter.
We attended Mind Magic: Mental Miracles for Smart People (and their friends), a one-night experience led by my friend Dr. Steve Taubman. While the evening was filled with wonder and laughter, the deeper message stayed with me long after the curtain closed.
Our thoughts carry energy.
They move on unseen frequencies.
And they affect others—often more than we realize.
The Invisible Power of Thought
Throughout the evening, Steve invited audience members—randomly selected—to participate in a series of interactive mind games. By closely studying facial expressions, body language, and energy, he was able to discern remarkably specific details of their thoughts.
From identifying playing cards chosen from a full deck…
to recalling the names of first romantic crushes…
to pinpointing exact places, hotels, and even room numbers—
It was astonishing.
What struck me most wasn’t just the accuracy—it was the reminder that our inner world is constantly communicating, even when we say nothing at all. Thought is not contained. It’s expressed through presence, posture, tone, and energy.
Watching this unfold was both playful and humbling—and it invited reflection on how intentionally (or unintentionally) we bring our thoughts into the world.
Quieting the Mind
One message from the evening stood out above all others:
“May your mind be quiet, your heart open, and your legacy inspiring.”
A quiet mind doesn’t mean an empty one. It means releasing fear, distraction, and self-doubt long enough to be fully present. When the mind settles, clarity emerges—and positivity has room to take root.
Opening the Heart
From a quiet mind comes an open heart.
An open heart allows us to meet new people with curiosity, to listen more deeply, and to build trust with greater ease. True connection doesn’t come from effort—it comes from presence.
Living Your Legacy
Legacy isn’t something we leave someday.
It’s something we create every day.
Through our thoughts.
Through our relationships.
Through the stories we choose to share.
When we are willing to share our stories with intention, we invite others to reflect, to grow, and to recognize the difference they, too, can make.
A Closing Reflection
This month, I invite you to consider:
Where might your mind become quieter?
How can your heart open a little more?
What story is ready to be shared?
Because when our minds are quiet, our hearts are open, and our stories are shared with purpose…
We make a difference.
Stay Connected
If this reflection resonated, I invite you to connect on social media:
