Create Miracles
By Jon Gordon

Einstein said, "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." When you believe everything is a miracle you see little miracles all around you. Like putting on a new pair of glasses the world looks different. You see the miracle of life in a newborn baby.

You feel the miracle of love in a warm embrace. You observe the miracle of a greater intelligence inside you. After all when you eat do you worry about digesting the food and distributing the nutrients to your cells and eliminating the toxins that could make you ill?

No, you eat and you let your miraculous design do the rest. You are a miracle. When you put on your miracle glasses you marvel at the miracle of God's grand design in something as small and seemingly insignificant as an apple seed. For inside this one seed is the potential for an apple tree that produces bunches of apples that contain more seeds that grow more trees that grow more apples.

Insignificance turns to awe when you realize that within one seed is the potential for an infinite supply of apples. The miracle becomes clear. God's abundance is everywhere. God's finger print is on everything. The same abundance we see in an apple seed is also inside you and all around you. Miracles are not in short supply. They are abundant too.

A course in miracles reminds us that "Miracles are natural. If they do not occur something has gone wrong." We just have to plant the seeds that grow miracles. These seeds come in the form of our thoughts and they grow and nurture with a miracle mindset.

When you have a miracle mindset you believe that everything is a miracle-you perceive miracles all around you-you expect miracles to happen in every day life-you look for miracles and waits for them to happen-but you don't attach to them-instead you wait with awe and know that miracles happen on God's time, not your time.

Quantum Physics teaches that our perception determines our reality. Consider two people on a roller coaster. One is terrified while the other is laughing and having the time of her life. They get off the ride and one feels sick while the other feels exuberant. Two different people with two different perceptions produce two very different experiences and realities.

Clearly, the world we see and experience is defined by the lenses through which we observe it. So when you create a miracle mindset and put on your miracle glasses you place your energy and attention on miracles.

Just as when you buy a new car and start to notice that car everywhere, when you focus your attention on miracles you start to see and experience them more in your life. So when I say create miracles it's not that you actually create a miracle but rather you tap into the miracles that are all around you by shifting your ordinary mindset to a miracle mindset.

You create miracles by seeing miracles, experiencing miracles and living a miracle. When this happens your world and your life will never look, feel and be the same way again.

Action Steps

1. Right down all the miracles that have happened to you in your life.

2. Find the miraculous in the ordinary. Write down the miracles you see all around you in every day life. Hint: The list is endless.

3. Pray for miracles. Not for anything specific. Just pray for miracles. Then expect miracles to happen. I do this all the time and sure enough I'll be writing in my office when someone calls me for advice and we wind up talking and creating a miracle together. It's been happening a lot lately and I think it's because I pray for miracles and I pray for you.

May your day be filled with boundless energy!
