Everyday Miracles
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 —Albert Einstein
Miracles! I sat down today to journal about being grateful and I hit a block, I could get myself to do it. Then I decided to use this quote from Einstein and then I had a flood of things I could write about. As I got ready to go to the gym today I made a list of all that I want to do before the end of the day and the things I had carried over from yesterday. This wasn’t motivating but I remembered what I had read again in the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles - To do all that I can well today and not think about what I wasn’t able to do yesterday (paraphrasing). So I let go off yesterday’s and decided to focus on what I had done today. It’s a grey Saturday afternoon, nothing out of the ordinary but what can I not be grateful for when within some hours of today I have been able to do all these.
Been able to get to the gym and have my 1 hour training session. Oh believe me when I say this was no easy feat. My duvet and bed were more tempting than getting up early on a Saturday to hit the gym. The weather wasn’t helping but I got up and I can say was glad for it. The gym was busy but most people were enjoying their beds so I had easy access to a lot of the machines. I call that a win!
Came home to jump on a call with a group of alums but they didn’t show up and it turned out to be just myself and my accountability partner who’s also my good friend. In other circumstances this would be a disappointment but no it was another great catch up with my friend. Valuable time and information shared.
Made myself a hearty breakfast which I also filmed my my content. Can I say Saturday mornings are one of my favourite days of the week. I don’t know about you but I don’t have as much time in the mornings to make the breakfast of my dreams during the work week so on a morning like this I took my time and made some pancakes and fruits and served myself to my heart’s content. Being a creative foodie I had to play with these too.
Had a lovely chat with my sister to check in on each other. Oh she always cracks me up. Yes we have the ups and downs but she is my one true confidant and this morning our chat was about our gym experiences among other things but the best was and is that I always learn something new when we have a conversation. Moments and conversations that I really cherish.
Managed to write a bunch of content for my other project and it’s not even end of day yet. A day like this is when I really feel in my flow zone, when I get so much inspiration to write. Thought after thought and as I pen it all down I see how well my project is going and I am truly grateful for this and such moments.
Still wondering what the miracle is? Well in each of the things I have shared above I have my beautiful miracles unfolding in them be it an early rising, a failed call or star of work, I am blessed to be the one experiencing the nuances of today. I am blessed to be the one sharing quality time with family and friends and blessed to be the one having creative ideas and time to cook and create for myself. Still can’t see it? Well I do and it’s all a matter of perspective. So right now I will encourage you to shift yours from whatever you are focusing on that isn’t your desired outcome to the good of what is intended because just as the quote above you choose your perspective so what are you choosing?
