I want to tell you about a practice that I started with a dear friend of mine about 5 months ago.
We do it everyday.
Miracle Journaling.
Basically, it’s writing out in a 10-minute brain dump everything that you are grateful for and sending it to a partner – a partner you trust absolute and won’t throw ANY judgement.
I’ve been writing a daily gratitude journal for years, but this was different in the sense that you had a partner and have to email it!
My dear friend call me up early this summer and told me to read Melody Beattie’s book, Make Miracles in Forty Days.
So I did, and then we started our daily grateful rants to each other.
We actually passed the 40-day mark and continued on because we both decided it was such an important reflection time in our daily lives.
So many miracles have happened along the way, but you don’t really realize the miracles until you actually take the time to reflect on them.
Why?
Mostly because while you are in the midst of a miracle it’s usually difficult to recognize until the dust settles.
And this is because most miracles are subtle.
Sure, there are the BIG MIRACLES!
And those are AMAZING and FUN and EASY to celebrate, but most of the time, I’m sure you will find many many little subtle miracles in your life.
Google defines miracle as a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.
A Course in Miracles defines miracles as a correction in perception, a conscious mind-shift.
Miracles are happening all around you right now waiting for you to uncover them with your mind.
I’ve had some SERIOUS miracles that I’ve witnessed for other people. I’ve seen health restored, I’ve seen financial abundance where it was not before.
I’ve seen it with my own eyes and nothing makes you a believer in the miracles shifts that happen than when you see them with your own eyes!
For those of you in the middle of an undesirable situation – whatever it may be, trust that your miracle is coming soon and be ever grateful for it.
It’s on it’s way to you right now.
For those of you feeling pretty good about life right now, continue to be ever grateful – it’s what attracts an abundance of miracles to you.
There is no such thing as too lucky.
Personally, I had a huge miracle happen to me. It’s coming in February and I can’t wait to share it, but I can’t now because it’s not my miracle to share yet, but, it will be in print soon! (hint, hint!)
So let me tell you the back drop to this story.
Last Friday, I was SICK, SICK, SICK in bed. The whole 9-yards flu thing and I mean, seriously, I threw up so hard I popped blood vessels in my face and looked like I went through the ringer!
It was bad. Cancelled 2 Christmas parties bad!
No noise, no light, no Hallmark Christmas Movies in bed – NOTHING!
I was dead.
And from an energy standpoint, I knew why.
This year was NOT my favorite year.
It was a VERY CHALLENGING year to say the least.
I went into my head office and finalized a deal I had been working on for MONTHS, and I was physically, mentally and emotionally DRAINED.
It was over and my body probably took it’s first real breath in months and relaxed and then had to purge all of this year from me, in the most unpleasant way! HA!
But truly, this is what was happening for me.
A cellular revolt.
A time to purge and make way for a new year.
A new decade.
Then, at my LOWEST POINT of this year.
LOWEST POINT.
Physically weak.
Mentally weak.
Emotionally weak.
Looking like total shit with blood vessels popping in my face, I received an email.
A miracle email.
And I had no energy to do the dance of joy, and to be honest, I couldn’t even think about it I was so weak.
I didn’t really process this email until 3 days later when I was feeling better.
But my miracle happened.
And I will tell you about it in a few weeks.
But, that’s not the point.
The point is this.
Don’t give up.
I know you’ve heard it a thousand times.
This year I wanted to give up EVERYDAY!
I mean, quit, go get a good paying J-O-B.
But I didn’t, even when my business couldn’t pay bills on time, I didn’t give up.
And I HAD TO keep my VISION infront of me everyday.
And it’s practically the only thing that has pulled me forward to this point, because seriously, I really wonder some days if owning your own business is really worth the stress of owning your own business, regardless of how much money is involved!
But, I decided it was, and I decided I needed my own business to bring about into the world what I’m creating and the content and education platforms I’m creating to help transform people’s lives financially.
So, I ate a pile of shit-sandwiches this year! (Big Magic anyone?!)
And at the end of the biggest shit-sandwich was a rainbow.
LOL!
Okay, so maybe not all unicorns and rainbow, but for me, it’s better than that.
The point again, keep eating the shit-sandwiches, ONLY if it’s for a good cause – YOUR CAUSE. The cause you define!
Find your cause.
Follow your cause.
Eat a lot of shit-sandwiches for your cause.
And
Repeat.
Don’t worry about the outcome.
The outcome will come out of the blue.
Maybe when you are at your worst.
Maybe when you are sick in bed.
But it will come.
Keep believing –
Keep going on –
and
Keep –
Living Your Legacy!
