WORD COUNT: 380 Short, Yet Incandescent Words

TIME to “Be-Dazzled”: * About 2 Minutes  *

As I was walking a few days ago, I was asking my Higher Self for guidance in a particular area. And at that very moment I was inspired to look down. Resting on the ground, directly in front of me, was a purple piece of stationary that read, “Believe in Magic”.

I’ve been carrying that piece of paper in my pocket ever since. It’s a reminder that every decision I make, is a choice between getting lost in the mundane, or celebrating life’s magic. I think I’ll choose the magic!

And although we know this isn’t always easy, it is definitely worth the effort. For if our thoughts create our reality, then wouldn’t magic be far more exciting and rewarding, than the disempowering mental chatter that’s so pervasive in our social consciousness?

Dismissing life’s magic as too idealistic or ungrounded in scientific fact, well that’s certainly an option. But even the greatest scientists recognize the power of our perspectives. One of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes reads: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Whether you like the word miracle, or magic, they carry the same wonder and potential for expanding your concept of what’s possible!

These words remind us how extraordinary life is! I mean really… what are the odds that we’d be able to stick ourselves on a planet, keep ourselves anchored on its crust, as we drive cars, surf the net, and play in the sandbox of time and space…all while hurtling around a molten-hot sun, at the rate of 67,000 miles per hour? Can you imagine the immense organizing power and consciousness that’s required to pull that one off? It’s certainly beyond me, that’s for sure!

We have a tremendous opportunity to guide ourselves into more joy and wonder. All that’s required is a small shift in thinking. Instead of going through the motions, we can ask, will I choose to live in life’s magic today, or will I get lost in the ordinary? And before reacting to minor challenges or annoyances, we can pause and ask, will I choose the miracle, or the burden?

Let’s choose the magic and the miracle!

Your friend and partner in marvelous moments,
