Everyday Miracles
Have you seen a flower grow out of concrete? Despite the lack of light, despite the lack of nutrition, despite a lack of freedom to grow, it lives, it grows, it bursts out and blossoms. It’s an everyday miracle.
So where are your everyday miracles? Do you notice when they happen? You might sometimes, or maybe you’ll consider it to be just a fluke when good things happen. But you might not notice them or think they don’t happen to you at all.
It’s time to make a concerted effort to look out for your everyday miracles. Why? Because they give hope that good things do happen. And hope gives strength for when you are on a challenging journey; when you are lacking in resources, when your finances are dwindling, when the path itself seems blocked and you can’t see the way through.
Just as the flower may not get to choose its ideal route, you may not get to seek your goal in the manner that you planned. But persevere, go in the path of the everyday miracles and just like the flower that burst through the pavement, you too will blossom. And in revealing your full beauty, you will be an inspiration to those around you. Your success will become others’ everyday miracle, inspiring them to overcome their own challenges.
The flower fights to live, so it takes full advantage of any scrap of nutrition and any route that leads it to the light. It will burst through the toughest cracks and blossom, sharing with the world its magnificence. And when taking a moment to absorb the journey, the determination, and the unapologetic display of colour and wonder of this flower drinking up the sun’s hopeful light, remember you too are an inspiring story of determination and blossoming beauty.
One day at a time, one everyday miracle at a time, let us seek the light and blossom.
