Be That Miracle

By Catherine Franz





You are a human being, right? You also believe you are

either male or female, right? You also have other roles you

play in your life, like mother, father, brother, sister,

employee, employer, boss, manager, in-law -- and the list,

I'm sure, goes on. But have you ever thought of yourself as

a miracle. Not in the sense of your birth. Of course, that

is a miracle. In the sense of your every day life. Do you

walk around all day long and see yourself as a miracle

worker?



If you did, just imagine how much taller you would stand,

less rushed you would be, and how much fear you would live

without. Well, sit straighter right now. Because you are.

You are a miracle. You are a miracle worker, if you choose

to be. You have been given that choice too.



Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of riding in the limo

with Deepak Chopra, on his way to speak at the IONS

conference in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia. And this

was one of the topics that morning with everyone in the car.

We tossed back and forth the characteristics of a miracle

and all the other angles. Although it was just one of many

interesting conversations I enjoyed that week, this one

instantly changed my life.



When we got closer to the hotel, the car grew quiet except

for the purring of the engine. Deepak was meditating, and I

joyously recorded the wisdom of our conversation and all

that was churning inside of me.



In big bold letters, "If I want to have a miracle, be that

miracle," flowed from my pen. I stopped, stunned. I

couldn't continue writing nor look up. Tears quietly rolled

down my cheek. The message was so powerful it turned into a

muffled sob. My skin tingled and my cheeks flushed with

embarrassment even though I wasn't sure who, if anyone, was

watching me.



A hand touched my shoulder. Our eyes met. The corners of

Deepak's eyes were watery too. I knew in that instant he

received the same message. No words were exchanged just a

nod from him. Later that day, in his stage presentation, he

discussed this event incognito.



The power of joined energy is a miracle. The power of our

own energy is a miracle waiting for a decision to happen.

It begins with our decision. We have the power of miracles.



Miracles take action. It takes generosity. It takes

selfishness. It takes a second, a minute, or ten minutes.

The bottom line is:



"If you want to have a miracle, be that miracle."



Since this beautiful moment of tying energy this same

message, same wording, has repeated itself in a book, and

other places. Even though they weren't as powerful as that

moment when our eyes locked, it still shows that we need to

hear it, be reminded of it, consistently until we decide to

inherent it into our daily beliefs and life.



This message doesn't just work during the holiday season.

It is there for our choice every waking moment. You are the

tree that lives in the forest and help the forest be a

forest. It is the tree that falls hard in the forest but

gently ripples into the rest of the world.



The miracles you create in the check out line at the grocery

store with people in front of you, behind you, and the

cashier, are miracles. don't just wish for miracles. Be

that miracle, everyday, every second, and it begins with a

new way of looking at yourself. Be a miracle to yourself

and let it ripple out. Stand tall, walk like the miracle

you are. Let it touch everyone today, tomorrow, next year,

and the year after. The world is changing because of

miracles. Be that miracle.
