Every Day Miracles

 Miracles Abound

We are surrounded by miracles everyday we have just lost sight of these daily occurrences.  Think about what happens to us and we live our lives.  We wake up from a restorative dream like sleep and begin the day with a breath.  A simply breath fills our lungs with the precise mix of Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon including other trace gases.  Think of how that breath provides the nutrients that fuel our blood, organs, brain, and body.  Remarkable. 

Now let's move to Sunshine that is essential for life and provide all the food and nutrients we need to survive. The Earth provides the soil to grow the plants and crops we need to sustain life. Think of our incredible bodies despite some flaws our complex eyes enable us to see and witness the magnificent universe.  Our heart is an incredible muscle that pumps our blood throughout the body to provide essential nutrients to our organs, muscles, tissues, and cells. 

Our brains are an amazing complex organ that surpasses any computer, regulating bodily functions, essential chemicals, and of course our ability to think, learn, and reason. We take for granted the amazing organism known as the human body. 

We just touched on the miracles that occur daily in nature.  One such miracle that we experienced recently was the birth of a child.  A man and woman come together and posses everything needed to procreate and propagate human life. When we experience a human embryo growing inside the mother's womb that is born into the world, we can only humbled and awed by God's blessings that surround us. 

The world will always have challenges, but don't let those circumstances overwhelm you or forget your divine nature and and the miracle that is You.

Tony

 Tony started working in a manufacturing plant logging 12 hour rotating shifts from 6a-6pm or 6pm-6am.  He is a hard worker and wanted extra hours to provide for his growing family.  I would tell the guys that no matter who you work for you're always working and representing You Inc, your personal brand. 

And as CEO of your brand you want to have a good reputation.  Hard worker, team player, problem solver, leader, good attitude.  We would talk about how the people you interact with on a daily basis may have a life changing opportunity because everyone is on the lookout for talent and good people. 

So after a few years of logging 12 hour shift and 70 hour work weeks in the cold plant, Tony was offered a management opportunity with one of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S.  After being there for less than six months, he just reached out and said that he was promoted to a supervisor position. 

Tony went from a job to a life changing career that offers economic security for him and his family in a few short years. The power of your mindset and attitude is so important and it can propel you to places you never dreamed of, it can also have a negative or deleterious impact of your success and achievement. We all have challenges and difficult circumstances to deal with at times but they are just stepping stones to better opportunities.  And no matter how talented you may be remember that no one wants to work or be associated with a jerk. 

If the situation you're in today is not ideal, we can always make a change and look for other opportunities. But you can also simply adjust your attitude and watch your whole world change immediately.  As Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

With God all things are possible. 

With Love,
