Are You Right to Think Miracles are Bullshit?
What is a miracle anyways?
A miracle by definition is when something happens in your life, you can not explain by any scientific or natural laws.
To you, what could be a miracle?
Maybe it is a lifetime of chronic pain that disappears in just an instant.
Maybe it is a lifetime of stress vanishing when you thought you could not take more.
Well, let me tell you one thing, all of this is POSSIBLE.
The day you decide to tell yourself a different story is the start.
The moment you entertain the thought that a healing might be moving through the room, those symptoms can just go.
It has nothing to do with the power of God.
It is only about the power of YOU, as human being.
So it’s real, and that’s the miracle.
You could call this awareness. I would say: SELF AWARENESS.
“Awareness precedes choices. Choices precedes results.”
-Robin S. Sharma
I could also say, having you are here, right now, reading this — it is another miracle.
The fact YOU specifically are reading this, right now, as opposed to you being someone else, some other permutation of DNA.
You should be self aware of this.
What were the chances for you to exist anyways?
For your parents to procreate you, one out of 12 trillions sperms of your dad had to meet one out of thousands eggs of your mom.
What were those chances?
Awareness of those details are very important.
It helps you to put things into perspective.
And that’s just your parents having you.
We can also break that down and multiply those odds from EVERY generation down to YOU.
You are undeniably at one end of your very own perfect, unbroken ancestral chain which starts with you and goes all the way back to the very first cell organism earth ever born, 7 billion years ago.
That is a miracle.
YOU ARE A MIRACLE
From now on you should treasure those facts and stay self aware.
Whenever you think you are not very lucky.
Whenever you think you are not good enough.
This is the one life and the one body you have been given.
Start telling yourself a different story.
3, 2, 1… ACTION!
Be aware and it will help you be kinder.
Have self awareness and it will help you be kinder to yourself.
Therefore to others as well, since we are all doing it.
We are all telling ourselves those stories which are not so helpful.
Each and every one of us does it at some point.
This is why YOU need to stay self aware EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Of course it will be hard to remember the chance you have when you have to go to school or work, or when you just trying to get ahead with your life.
This is why surrendering yourself with positive people is important.
A family member, a friend, a mentor or a coach.
It is undoubtedly important to have someone at hand to remind you to stop time.
This way you can easily return to the present moment. Be self aware of how you are treating yourselves and be aware of the way you treat people around you.
Only awareness of the present moment has the power to be as rich and vibrant as if it was your first.
Or your very last.
“The one in whom no longer exist the craving and thirst that perpetuate becoming; how could you track that Awakened one, trackless, and of limitless range.”
- The Buddha
Be aware, stay aware.
3, 2, 1… ACTION!
