Life is a miracle

Life  is a mystery but also a miracle. Sometimes success appears so far away. It seems as far away as a mountain top, it seems impossible to climb a steep rocky mountain, when you're in a valley below looking up. But what would life be if there were not any challenges?  In reality, we have everything that we need within us. We have been given an innate knowledge and marvelous physical abilities which were automatically born within us - all ready to emerge when needed. That formidable mountain is there for us to climb throughout our lives, because it is life's challenges that allow our true potential to be uncovered and put to use. 

So next time that life springs you with unexpected surprises, realize that they are needed for us to become who we were meant to be. The full potential within us has to be tapped in someway, and it is by the wonderful surprises and challenges that life brings that we get to encounter and discover our true selves. 

Take time everyday to appreciate the challenges, and know that we are given just enough to let us stretch so that we can reach our own true greatness. Let's remember that life is a miracle that needs to be treasured moment by moment. Let's take a conscious effort to see the miracles of the big mountains that appear in our path.  Achieving those climbs and overcoming the challenges, no matter how difficult, is what really makes life a success. 

Today is a new day

Another day, a new opportunity awaits. Today starts just like every other day, but is it really the same as yesterday?  It's hard to get away from the humdrum of the auto pilot that we have going on life. But really,  we can take advantage of a new day, to take it by the horns and ever so slightly change our usual route.  At least we can begin the planting of new seeds of opportunity. New plans can begin to sprout. After all, today is ours to treasure and unlock new possibilities. 

It does not mean that some gigantic over the top step needs to happen, but small steps can be taken to go towards what we want. At least to begin looking at a new direction. 

As soon as we open our minds to the possibilities of what is really in our hearts, then small miracles begin to happen. It's just a matter of trust - which is easier said than done! We just have to allow and acknowledge these miracles with gratitude. 

So today, I am going to lay the foundation for new opportunity. New opportunity that begins with gratitude, the gratitude of being just who I am:

I am good

I am spiritual

I am unique

I am special  

I am inspired

I am intentional

I am God's child

I am resilient 

I am loved

I am grateful 

I just am!

The miracle of everyday life

Miracles come when they are least expected. 

Life is funny, it's full of ups and downs, twists and turns. Just when everything gets gloomy, it shows it self in its truest brightest light. That small sliver of light glistening through as the gray clouds slowly begin to part. The light of hope. To have hope is to be patient and allow God to be in control. 

Given time, everything comes together as it should. The universe has it's own plan, we are asked to be active participants as well as to allow it to just "happen". These are the little miracles of life. Miracles are all around us. Miracles happen every day. We struggle so much to make everything perfect,  but instead we should be just looking out for these miracles and allowing them to be. Just like a flower who shoots forward, in the middle of an early frosty spring not knowing any better, but just being. Sometimes we just have to have the patience, and hope to believe in miracles and allow life to just happen.
