345 Miracles Happen Every Day December 2017 Monday Week 3

Mindful Mondays-#345  December 11 The Strong Within Daily Affirmation Podcast Miracles Happen Every Day Looking up the definition of miracle in Google and the first dictionary definition is: a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency. But I wonder if a miracle is more than an answer from the Divine? How would you define a miracle? Yes we could only define it as a miracle from above…but is it a lucky happen chance, or is it the realization of the power within the moment? Do you have to be holy to experience them, do you have to believe in them??? I don’t think so… because we are part of a miracle every day. If you think about how your heart beats, how the intricate structure of veins and arteries carry blood, oxygen, nutrients, and then carries the used stuff away…it looks pretty dang complex…when, in fact, it feels really simple to you. You don’t even notice all the work your body is doing all the time. It really is a miracle how our bodies function so seamlessly. We go throughout our days, forgetting more miracles than we can remember. We don’t have to believe in miracles to experience them, but I do believe we have to become aware of them to truly appreciate them. And when we become aware of them, we allow ourselves to celebrate in them. We allow ourselves to appreciate life, our lives specifically…and thus we allow others to share their miracles with us as we return the favor. For every problem in my life, when I stepped back to see the bigger picture, I saw two things occur…that there were more miracles in my life than problems…and that my miracles were much bigger than any problem. So why do we give so much power to problems…why do we allow problems to create anxiety, worry and stress in our lives? Maybe it’s because we think it’s easier to allow something to control us than to put effort into directing the course of our life. We’ve been told that we’re not in control of the direction of our lives, that we get on a roller coaster, hold on, and hope to get to a nice destination without really knowing where it will go. And while we may not know the exact destination our roller coaster will go, we still have a choice to enjoy the ride, we still have a choice to get off at any time and go another direction, we still have a choice to go kicking and screaming afraid of where it will take us, or we still have the choice to talk with the conductor of the ride. Whether you believe in miracles…matters not,. And not because they don’t happen or they have more power if you believe in them or not, but because they will always be happening whether you believe in them or not. There’s something more than beyond this physical existence, and words will never be efficient enough in defining the power in miracles…so for now all you need to know is that YOU are a miracle…and YOU are someone’s answer today. You might be a thousand people’s answers…and so whether you believe in miracles or not, matters not…because someone believes in them because you came into their life. And maybe you may not call it a miracle, but someone is saying a prayer right now for the blessing you brought into their life. And when thinking about it that way, you might have been thinking in your mind and thanking someone silently for them coming into your life. As I said, if you really think about how the human body functions, as it does, is quite a miracle. Maybe we’ve gotten used to miracles, and now we need a supernova to awaken us…but if you can find the beauty in the simple…in the right now…I know you will not only see the beautiful miracles in the moment…but you will find yourself attracting more miracles into your life. So let us start becoming more aware of miracles rather than forgetting more and more of them every day. Today’s Personal Commitment:How many miracles are missing in a day? Take a look at your past week and write down all the small things that happened that brought your week together nicely. You could just look at the things that happen already in your life smoothly…those are miracles in themselves. Take a look at your past year and write down some pretty cool things that happened to you. To see miracles we must become aware of the powerful simplicity of them. And once you can see them, you can appreciate them when their happening…instead of being blind to most them. Why live a life in the dark when you can find and enjoy all the beautiful miracles happening to you daily? And lastly, write down how YOU are a miracle to the people in your life. The more you see the impact you give, then the more impact you can give.
