Expect Miracles

 


Miracles happen every moment of every day, but only appear to those who are open to receive them.

Have you experienced times in your life when the exact thing you wanted showed up unexpectedly? A friend appeared when you needed him or her the most. Or you desperately wish for something and it emerges out of the blue. This happened to me over the weekend when my windshield wiper split apart while I was driving in a heavy rain. I wished for an auto parts store and one appeared in the next bend.

You can consider these incidents sheer luck or random coincidence, or you can look for a deeper meaning. Deepak Chopra writes about coincidences in his bestselling book, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire. Chopra says, “When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when the magic begins!”

When you look for deeper meaning and give gratitude for the magic that occurs in your life, these experiences begin to occur more frequently. C.G. Jung coined these phenomena as ‘synchronicity,’ or “the coincidental occurrence of events that can’t be explained by conventional mechanisms.”

I touch on synchronicity in my contemporary romance, Restart in Bristol. Below is a brief excerpt:

Deep in thought, Holly sank onto the sofa in the hotel’s lobby. She wondered if fate had brought her to Chicago or if it was a coincidence that Nora had asked for Holly’s help with a rescue cow at the same time Davey had asked for Curtis’ help testing cars.

Last night, Skye had suggested the answer was obvious. But she wasn’t the best person to ask because she didn’t believe in coincidence. According to Skye everything—the good, the bad, the ugly—happens for a reason. Even though Holly wasn’t completely sold on Skye’s philosophy, she had to admit it was a little fluky that she and Curtis had ended up in the same city at the same time.

The next time one of these unexpected coincidences occur in your life, ponder whether it was a random event, or if it was a small miracle in your life. Better yet, begin looking for—and expecting—ongoing miracles!

  1. Hi Sedona,

    I enjoyed your post. I do believe it's true that good things happen all the time but we are blind to them unless we are in a mindset to look for them - to expect them.

    Sometimes I think that in the immediate moment we're experiencing something we don't have the distance from it to see the way that it might eventually benefit us. I've found that the more I look for the positives in things the more positives I seem to experience.

    1. Hi Laurie - Thanks for stopping by my blog and for sharing your insightful comments. It is helpful to have some distance from a situation in order to see the bigger picture. Regardless, it's wise to look for the positives, even when we have to dig a bit to find them! Wishing you a beautiful week - Sedona

  2. They would be miraculous, despite not violating the laws of nature, because they lie beyond, well beyond, current and even near-future human capability and because they epitomize and are consistent with the motivations of a God-like entity. ucem um curso em milagres
