Miracles

"Whatever problem you have, pray for a miracle. A miracle is a shift in perception. As your mind is transformed, the situation will transform." MW

And how true is this! Sometimes it's too easy to sit in a problem and want things to make everything better, when really we need a miracle - in the form of a shift in perception. Things don't make things better, Money and the things money can buy can make life more comfortable, but they are not long-term solutions. Another MW quote was "If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe you lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack."

Life isn't about things, it's about the experience. Recognizing the experience and removing your reaction to the experience is the path of bliss. If you can find the struggle, recognize it, neutralize it by learning not to react to life using struggle, you are experiencing a real-life miracle, your mind is transformed through your experience and consequently your life around you will change. If you are experiencing stress, you can go through the same process - recognize it, neutralize it by learning to not react to life using stress, and your life is transformed.

If only we can let go of this superficial pre-conception that things are any kind of answer at all, everyday brings vast and opulent opportunities for miracles and transformation!

So when life socks you in the gut, just start praying for those miracles.

Blessings.
