You Are a Miracle

Imagine, it’s a rainy cold day. You family and friends are all together. All are weeping. “Why did he have to go?”

They each pay their last respects to the deceased in the coffin. Who is this person that they morn for?

IT IS YOU!

Yesterday you passed away in hospital due to an illness. However, it does not matter how you died. It matters that you are dead. So, that is it then. It’s all over. Your days on earth are no more. Something tells me that you are not too happy. You are not ready to go right? I mean, there is so much for you have not done. What about that fight you just had with your best friend? You didn’t have a chance to apologise after storming off and not talking to her? What about your dreams? You just need one more year to make it all one. Perhaps just one more day to make amends for all the wrong you did.Alas.It is too late my dear friend. I will see you in heaven one day.

Now, stop imagining. WAKE UP. The power that be has given you a second and last chance. You are reborn!  CONGRATULATIONS!

How great do you feel knowing you are alive again? I keep saying again and again, that most people are afraid of dying; I think that you should be more afraid of not living.

Do you know that you are a miracle? The greatest miracle that ever walked upon this earth is you. The power to achieve greatness and the strength and determination to live beyond fantasy and turn dreams into reality.

Every moment brings with it a chance to make a decision to choose. At any given moment there are an infinite number of choices to make. However, mot of the time, we narrow them down to just 2. It is either, do it, or don’t do it. Eat or don’t eat. Be happy or choose to be sad. You see, you have complete control over your emotions and your thoughts. Right now you have the power to be happy. How can one pursue happiness when happiness is already available to you? Happiness is a state of mind not a journey.

So I ask you now, every minute of every day, you think about the choices you have and choose the ones that make you feel good.

 

Choose to love rather than hate.

Choose to laugh rather than cry.

Choose to create rather than destroy.

Choose to persevere rather than quit.

Choose to praise rather than gossip.

Choose to heal rather than hurt.

Choose to pray rather than curse.

Choose to live, rather than die!

 

My dear friend, know that you are capable of great wonders. Your potential is unlimited. You are not a human being, but a human becoming. Who else among the creatures that walked the earth created fire? Who else, among the creatures conquered gravity? Has pierced the heavens and has conquered disease?

Only human beings.

Are you any different from Albert Einstein? Benjamin Franklin? Ghandi? Mandela? No.

You are but the same flesh and blood with the same emotions and intellectual capabilities. The only difference between them and you are the choices they made.

Choices that can lead to success or stress.

 

Remember when you were younger you would say, “When I grow up I want to…”

Well, guess what? THAT TIME HAS COME. But nothing has happened. However, we like to prolong things, and now say, “When I get married then I will…” or “When I retire I will have the….” Then the years go by and before you know it, life is no more.  Nothing gets done. So, make the choice to be great now and act upon it.

You cannot change the past by worrying about it , but you can spoil your present moment by worry about the future.

You have performed the greatest miracle in the world today. You got up and decided to live. You have returned from a living death. You will feel self pity no more and each day will be a challenge and a joy.

You have been born again, and just as before you can choose failure and despair, success and happiness

Remember then the four laws of happiness and success.

Count your blessings.

Proclaim your rarity.

Go another mile.

Use wisely your power of choice.

And one more to fulfill the other four. Do all things with love, love for others and love for yourself.

 

YOU ARE THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN THE WORLD

Be great always,
