Do you believe in miracles?
I do.
Having grown up in a family where my father called himself a “born again atheist”, I would have at one time, arrogantly answered “no” to this question. My upbringing taught me that the only valid way to live was to process life through the intellect; through my rationality, and miracles aren’t rational.
When I left the parental nest, I traveled far from everything that bound me to who I thought I was. There I quickly discovered a whole world that seemed to have been hidden from me until then. I began to experience life in new ways. Synchronicity seemed to appear everywhere. So many things lined up that gave rhyme and reason to not just my life, but to the workings behind the all. Where there was no “logical” explanation, I found clarity and a creature knowing.
To me a miracle is an event, experience or outcome that manifests itself in a more beautiful way than one could ever imagine or dream possible. I came to discover these miracles when I surrendered to the moment. Thank God for that! Life without miracles is a bit like being sentenced to a lifetime of drudgery.
Unfortunately, my early training still kicks in. I retreat into the world of my “logical” mind; peering out with tainted glasses, wondering what’s out there. Is it safe? I Imagine all the scenario’s that could occur if I did “this” or maybe “that”. All the while striving to maintain an illusion that safety is achieved by being in control. I embed myself in a world full of known outcomes. Life becomes like watching the same movie for the umpteenth time, predictable, completely void of miracles.
When I take off those obscuring lenses, I look around with wonder; life is full of miracles. When I engage with life whole heartedly, without expectations, miracles happen.
LIFE ITSELF IS A MIRACLE.
I embrace this truth. It is important that I work every day to bring this “knowing” into my body. I need to experience miracles; intellectual acceptance is not enough.
I feel that many things we “practice”; rituals we create that are holy to us, are our portal to miracles. For some this is yoga, others meditation, cooking, writing, a relationship, maybe even working on your car. Whatever it is, if we commit to showing up 100%, we encounter the essence of life itself. We get in touch with a deeper reality and experience life as the miracle it is.
“Be here now.” Ram Dass got it right.
Entering the present is our direct portal to miracles.
For me, the ritual of selling became my portal. It became my way to enter the moment fully. While selling, there were many opportunities to look at myself and the world with eyes wide open. I could face life head on and be rewarded with the feeling of being connected with it all.
When we take a stand that is motivated by what we care about, we begin a journey towards knowing what love really is. Along this road we are brought face to face with those parts of ourselves where love is lacking. We are asked to choose again and again, “Are you in or are you out?” Do you choose love or fear? Will you keep giving or will you retreat?
I love the clarity I feel while selling. When clear, I feel free to choose love and empowered to say no to any voices that urge me to retreat.
There is a new future awaiting us. One that is more beautiful than we can even imagine. Belief that the perpetual unfolding of miracles is the nature of life itself is the first step in making this happen.
Why not hold this belief dear while we are selling? What will the world mirror back if we look at it with unjaded eyes? What will happen when we all feel free to sell from our hearts?
It will be miraculous.
When selling we throw this belief out there.
There is no better way to sell. We simply need to allow ourselves to live and breathe and speak our truth. It is all about sharing our vision with an open heart… and as humans, we naturally want to share!
Don’t hold back…Go for it!
