You are the miracle
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
– Albert Einstein
We spend our lives waiting for and expecting miracles. A big win in the lottery or a suitcase full of money. Someone to love. Someone who will love us back.
We lament and regret and doubt and rage at all that we don’t have without ever once realizing that what we do have is the most amazing gift that we could ever have; Life.
Your life may be painful. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually. It may feel empty. Meaningless. Pointless. Fruitless. But the fact that you are reading these words, wherever you are, is an absolute miracle and I am amazed and ever grateful that you are. It means I am not alone. I am not empty or meaningless. It means the love I send out into the world is being received which also means that you are being loved.
Once you stop expecting miracles from outside and accept that you are the miracle you’ve been waiting for you start treating yourself with the care and compassion you deserve and things begin to change.
Instead of waiting around to win the lottery you become grateful for what you have no matter how meager or extravagant. You discover that money has no real meaning. Yes, we all have bills and need to eat and pay rent but do we really need the brand new car? The too big house with the too big payment? Not really. We buy them either because they make us look good or make us feel good and then we pray for a suitcase of money to pay for them.
When you see yourself as a miracle you start to respect yourself. Treat yourself with honor and dignity. You even begin to love yourself and no longer “need” love from someone else but want to share it. To extend yourself and commit yourself to making your life and the life of others or another, your partner, better, and in doing so make your own life better.
It’s like this perpetually expanding flood of miracles begins to happen. The things you really need, love, self-respect, positive self image, courage, faith, hope, all begin to manifest and as those things affect others you find people drawn to you and more good things happen. The miracle spreads and mixes and creates and manifests new feelings and new opportunity and new people. People like you; miracles.
Stop waiting around for a miracle because you are the miracle!
Live like it.

We are miracles. Everything we encounter within and without is a miracle 🙂 Whether the experiences are mountain top highs or deep in the bowels of the earth lows we are the miracles. We are creatures made to feel, the mechanics of feeling are nothing short of miracles. Every breath we take, every sight our eyes take in, every movement we make – all miracles. Moving outside your skin becomes miraculous on so many diverse levels. How many? My left brain really wants to know… As many levels as there are creations and probably more. The only reason I say “probably” is I am wondering if there is anything that is not a creation of some sort…
Aha! ! !
We are all One just clicked into place like a puzzle piece! I knew, but now I know.
I love contemplating the ideas you bring forth <3
Amen to that!
Isn’t it great when concepts suddenly become clear out of nowhere?
Yes! Now to feel the constant flow of love…
Now is always that time 🙂
