You are the greatest miracle in the world
It is easy to be ungrateful and unhappy, everybody knows how.
When somebody asks you to list your faults, you probably find it an easy task; because we are all prone to focus on our weaknesses, rather than our strengths.
Try it right now! Take out a piece of paper and write down the things you do not like about your situation, your life and yourself.
Most people find this a simple thing to accomplish so you will most likely have quite a long list.
Now try the opposite! Write down some of your assets, your unique attributes, your skills, your successes and the things you like about yourself.
If you find this more difficult, don’t worry, many people struggle to recognise their own abilities and gifts.
A typical list looks like this:
Negative
Too tall (or short)
Too thin (or fat)
Talk too much (or too little)
Nobody likes me
Hate my job
Not smart enough
Don’t look good in a photo
Hair too curly (or too straight)
Not enough money, too many bills
No girl/boy friend
Positive
Have a nice car
Health is OK
Job pays well
Great mobile phone
Here are some new suggestions for your “positive list”:
You can read and write English (millions of people would love to)
You are alive and able to be in “the poor photo of yourself”
You have a job and can get a new one if you want
You can read and learn more whenever you choose to
You can sing, you can laugh, you can cry, you can celebrate, you can morn
You can dream of a better life, you have hope, you have faith
You love people and they love you
You have friends and you have family
You have a God who accepts you unconditionally
You can look out the window and see the beauty in nature
You are special and unique, there has never been “you” before and never will be again
You are able to smile and make someone else smile
You are free to reach out to those around you and help them
You are capable and able to fulfil your purpose whenever you choose to
Next time you are looking for a miracle, go stand in front of the mirror, because “You are the greatest miracle in the world!”
