Miracle or Coincidence?  You Decide.

Miracle or Coincidence?  You Decide.

Do you believe in miracles?  And not just turning straw into gold.  I mean everyday miracles that change how you feel and live your life.

In my blog post “5 Ways to Prove You’re Never Alone, and that Life CAN get Better,” I talked about the fact that I don’t believe in coincidences.  I believe that “coincidences” are miracles that the Universe (or God, Mother Nature, or whatever higher power you believe in) has created for us.

This belief is what helps keep me going day after day.  When life gets so difficult that I can’t stand it anymore, I remind myself of miracles that have happened in the past.

For instance, when I’ve physically felt so horrible that I was desperate for help and felt at the end of my rope, I’ve had people and treatments come along to save me from falling into an abyss.  I often can’t believe the timing of these miracles, because they happen when things are so bad that I don’t think I can go on anymore.  But then a miracle happens, and it restores my faith (not to mention, it makes me feel better physically).

And I know that if miracles happened before, they can happen again.  So, when I’m waiting for a miracle, I tell myself that it’s on its way.  It may not come in the way I want, or in the timeframe that I want, but I know it’s coming.  All I have to do is hold on.  The miracles will come in the time and method they’re meant to come in.

While I wait, I listen to my Gut GuideTM, and do whatever I can do to make the miracle come faster.  But then I let go and trust in my higher power.  I try to be patient (I call it “forced patience,” because I don’t naturally have patience under bad health circumstances).

Then, eventually my next miracle comes! 

I’m obviously in need of many more miracles, because I’m still debilitated and unable to lead a semblance of a normal life.  But little miracles add up, and I’m hopeful for the biggest miracles of all: a cure to heal me.

So pay attention to the details in your life.  Did something beneficial happen unexpectedly and “coincidentally?”  I promise that miracles are surrounding you.

Now, tell me about you.  What struggles have you been through, and where have you seen miracles unfold in your life?  Do you think you can hang on until your next one?  Comment below, because you may just inspire me and other readers to hang on more tightly and faithfully.  And maybe we can encourage each other to look for, and find, more miracles in our lives!

All my love and hugs,

Ps. Do you know someone who could use more miracles in their life?  Pass this on to them so that they see that miracles already surround them!

Pps. Albert Einstein said it perfectly:

“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.”
