Gratitude is the word that comes to mind this morning.
I have been writing about contrast for a couple days now. I was so uplifted when I read the quotes from yesterday, that I believed them. Perhaps the belief in a miracle is what actually caused more than one miracle to come true? Yesterday I envisioned this day writing about a miracle, and today it has come to pass.
The inspiring quotes are worth repeating…and believing:
“When the contrast gets greater, the desire gets greater too, and that’s what miracles are from. A miracle is nothing more than a terrible situation that has caused strong desire and then somehow an alignment of Energy with the desire. Every day life creativity, that’s all that it is.
— Abraham”
And the message from tut.com:
“How is it Rosie, that with so many brilliant beings on your planet, so few recognize that when one’s life encounters turbulence, choppy waters, or setbacks, it’s always a sign that things are about to get wildly better than they’ve ever been before?
And I’m not talking about the dolphins.
Don’t fight it,
The Universe”
This morning I found myself reflecting on the individuals who engaged in the dance yesterday to make the miracles come true. We are not alone, and when we ask energetically for help, it is amazing what happens. The stars seem to line up and almost as if by magic, people come to our aid.
Today I was thinking how beautiful it is how we humans pull together to help one another. Just then I walked by the calendar. I hadn’t stopped to notice the quote for this month when I turned the calendar page over to August:
“When most people say they are being ‘realistic,’ they delude themselves; they are simply being negative.”
One person immediately came to mind. This is the person who will always pull my feet down to earth and let just a little wind out of my sails. I try hard to listen to the wisdom, but it doesn’t ever feel especially good. Now I know why. What good is it to be “realistic”? Is that not just another way of seeing the glass half empty instead of half full?
I could have been “realistic” yesterday with my dilemmas. The people I turned to for help could have been “realistic.” … but for them or me to have been “realistic” yesterday wouldn’t have given me the momentum I needed to believe in that miracle. I needed all the wind in my sail yesterday.
Our attitude and belief colors everything. If we look at contrast as a blessing, and if it pushes us to desire and believe, then anything is possible. Ram Dass, spiritual teacher and author says, “Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!”
“Turbulence, choppy waters, or setbacks”? They are all OK because we can believe that just around the bend “ things are about to get wildly better than they’ve ever been before.”
