In
our ‘member only call’ last Friday, I talked
about the results I’ve had in Creating a
Miracle, the subject of last week’s articles. In
those articles I told about Sue Dyer, the
nationally known mediator, and her advice to us.
She recommended reviewing the day as we fall
asleep, looking for the miracle in each and
every event. For Sue,
a miracle is a change in perspective.
That definition alone gave us pause for thought.
Not a new car in the driveway, not a miracle
diet with 20 pounds lost instantly – but A
CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVE! Some of us wondered, “Why
is a change in perspective, a miracle?”
From
that day forward I set out to find out for
myself. Sue said, “I never have a day without a
miracle, when I start my day by asking for one!”
That seemed motivating to me, and so I tried it.
Every night I examined my day, event by event,
looking for the miracle in it. And each day I
DID see a change in my perspective. I saw things
from a more positive viewpoint. I saw new angles
that had not occurred to me before. And I had
infinitely more joy in my life. But here’s
the real miracle. After only 2 nights of these
reviews, guess what happened? I actually
started to see the miracle as it happened,
rather than waiting until my nightly review!
Well,
you might ask, “So what?” The ‘what’ is that
seeing the miracle AS IT HAPPENS brings you joy
NOW. Lynn Grabhorn says in her book, ‘Excuse Me,
Your Life is Waiting,’ that “Feeling good means
positive energy is flowing to us, through us and
from us, and we’re creating on purpose.” Isn’t
that what we all want – to create on purpose? To
not let our lives be on auto pilot, sometimes
good and sometimes bad? No, what we want is for
life to ALWAYS be as good as WE CAN MAKE IT.
30 Second Focus Tip
– As you fall asleep tonight, review each event
of the day – and LOOK for the miracle in that
event. Turn it around in your mind, as you would
turn a beach ball in your hands. Look at it from
different angles, By looking for ‘the miracle’
in it, you’ll have a new perspective. That new
perspective will bring you joy, and that joy
will lead you to CREATING life on purpose, the
life of your dreams. Thank you Sue, for sharing
with us!
