“There are only two ways to live your life;
as though nothing is a miracle, or as
though everything is a miracle.”

Abundance, prosperity
and seeing the magic!
—Albert Einstein
How many times have you walked into your kitchen? So
many times, I bet, that you no longer see the clutter that is beginning
to accumulate on the counter top. This happens to all
of us because our brain’s job is to form automatic programs.
We walk, we drive and we move on automatic. The same is
true with our thoughts. If we see the same thing over and
over again our brain puts it into a program and we stop looking.
After all, we know what our kitchen looks like.
Although it’s obvious how developing habits of thought
keeps us operating through our day without focusing on our
every movement, is there a down side to this automation? Unfortunately,
yes. Many of us wake up, remember who we are,
the roles we play and what we have to do today. We brush
our teeth, make our coffee and get dressed in the same way
every day, without ever paying attention. We drive to work
the same way, talk to the same people, feel the same feelings,
think the same thoughts, do the same job, drive home
the same way, make the same food we usually make, watch
the same television programs and go to bed at the same time.
Very little changes from day to day to day. Sometimes we
have glimpses of awareness and we pop-up and ask, “How
can I achieve abundance and prosperity? How can I have a
happier life?”
Perhaps the abundance and prosperity and the ingredients
for a happy life have been there all along and we are
missing it. Maybe our thought programs are tuning out that
clutter as well as the magic all around us.
A new program needs to be written and it should follow
a basic format. When you wake, and while you’re brushing
your teeth and making your coffee, keep your attention on
things that you are happy about. Look out the window at the
sunrise. Don’t turn on the news. Think about things that you
are grateful for. Purposefully decide to see your life in abundance
and prosperity. Forgive anyone that comes into your
phone to go off several times a day and remind yourself to
be happy and grateful. This thought program will give you a
wonderful life of growth and happiness.
If you have trouble feeling this new-found wealth, understand
that abundance and prosperity are relative anyway.
Do you know or remember that just a few years ago computers
were the size of a moving box and the internet was dial
up? Before that, telephones were rotary with long twisted
cords that got tangled on everything. There were no mobile
phones. Our ancestors that
were born much earlier in
history, in the middle ages
for example, had no glass in
their windows as they threw
their frozen chamber pot out
every morning, hopefully
missing any passers-by below.
Considering all of this,
how abundant and prosperous
is your life? What
is your potential for happiness?
It’s up to you to decide
if nothing is a miracle, or if
everything is a miracle.
