A Common Path

In the last two days, I have had two separate ideas or concepts come to me, just when I needed them most. Actually it was more than two, but two big ones. Does this happen to you? I know it does. The question is, did you notice them?

Carl Jung, the psychiatrist, called this synchronicity. Things happen, some would say by chance, that help you to improve your life. Just when you don’t know how you are going to pay some bill, you get an unexpected check in the mail. Just when you have an accident in your car, a friend pulls up to help.

I don’t believe in things happening by chance. I do believe that things happen for our greater good. The problem is, we so often fail to see the opportunity or the gift. We take that check and apply it to the bill, but we don’t see the miracle of the situation. We have that friend show up just at the right time, and we wave them off, thinking we don’t want to trouble them.

Look for those little miracles in your life. The more you look for them, the more you begin to see them. Let them become, not the exception, but the rule. When something happens in your life, expect the little miracle.

Steve

What has happened in your life recently that was a little miracle? Did you receive it, or reject it?
