You are a Miracle!

Often people you meet in life keep telling you to trust in God and his plans for you. You might have a doubt about how to trust a person whom you have not seen. Yes. Definitely it is difficult to trust a person whom you have not seen. You might have so many doubts. If you believe in God, but have doubts on him then this for you. The only way to trust God is to trust yourself completely, for you are his creation. You came from his particle. When you trust his work, then automatically you trust him. ‘When you believe in a painting, it means you believe the painter’.

When you accept God’s creation in total, you accept God. When you ignore a part of you, you are ignoring him. ‘Trust yourself, and in that trust find Him’. Your definition about yourself, defines your God, because you came from him. If you think you are not handsome, then it means that you believe your God is not handsome, because we can give only what we have. If you think you are limited, it means your God is also limited. But this is not possible, because God is beyond all limitations and so you are.

Everybody says ‘Have faith in God and believe in yourself’ but I would say ‘Believe in yourself. Believe that you are beyond limits’ and this thought will bring you closer to God. You can be differently abled, intellectually challenged, been born in a broken family and seen lot of misfortunes, but that is not the end. It is just a part of your story God has written for you. He has a much greater purpose for you. As you travel in your life with greater belief in yourself, he will reveal your purpose. If you are alive, when you are reading this, it means God has a purpose for you. You cannot exist without a purpose. No child is born into this universe without a purpose. Each one is blessed with a bag of abundance. It is up to us to find it.

You can ask me, what if I am an atheist. You can deny God but you cannot deny science, because it’s happening right before you. The same logic applies here. In the evolutionary process, no being is created without any reason. If you see something ‘so called negative’ in you (eg: any form of disability) then definitely there is something positive in you to compensate for your disabilities. This is the law of nature. But here again, the key word is ‘Trust’. You have to trust yourself. Whether you believe in science or God, if you believe you exist for a reason, then you will find your life purpose.

You can ask God, why you did not give me this and that and God will ask you in return “What did you do, with what I have already given for you?”. We all feel that with our disabilities, we are of no use to others. I tell you. Consciously or unconsciously we are creating a difference in someone’s life. Hard to believe, but it is the law of nature. We are all interdependent. You might feel that you are worthless, but when you smile at your security guard he feels happy at his heart. Unknowingly you proved you worth has a being. The irony is we are taught right from our childhood, that to make a difference in someone’s life we need to do something ‘big’ for them for which results can be seen immediately. Eg: We are always taught that helping others mean to help them financially. This is not so. However small your act can be, if it brings smile on someone’s face then you have made a difference.

Try this small exercise:

1.      When you go to bed today, think about your day. Contemplate on the moment you got up from your bed to begin your day till the end of the day. Count the number of activities you did that put a smile on others.  It can be anything right from a small act of greeting to organ donation. Don’t underestimate the power of your act. The act can be small for you, but for the acing heart, it is a big difference.

2.      After making a list of activities, read the list twice. How do you feel?

Imagine the above scenarios. Without much conscious awareness we are making a difference in others life. What if you start believing in your abundance and really work for a cause. To work for a cause, you need to know your purpose. ‘Stop focusing on your limitation and focus on what you have’. Even with no arms or no legs or having a poor family background, you can still smile if you focus on your strengths. It is not the limitation in your body that disturbs you but your crippling thoughts is what really keeping you disabled.

Some people are really born with some form of disability and some are born without any disability. This is not difference between successful and unsuccessful people. It is all about your thoughts and belief about yourself. Even if you are differently able person, if you have constructive thoughts, you will find your life purpose, but on the other hand even if you are born without any limitations if you have limited thoughts your life can be really disabling.

Think of the smile you put on other’s face in this particular day (See the previous exercise)

Now compare both the boxes. Is that you are really disabled? Is that you are really worthless? With all your crippling self defeating thoughts you are still able to make difference in other’s life. Why don’t you really start working towards it? Think.

Many a time we wait for a miracle in our life, forgetting the fact that we ourselves are a biggest miracle. We have already arrived on this earth as a gift but with a different wrapper, different color and shape. But be sure, we are all a gift and a miracle. You are loved and you are beautiful in your way.

Remember,

‘ Diamonds can be wrapped in an old newspaper

Artificial flowers can be wrapped in a dazzling gift covers’

If you focus only on the wrapper you will miss the gift. Accept your gift. Accept yourself in total. You have a purpose. You are on this earth to find out your purpose. Don’t give up. You are a Miracle.
