What Are You Doing With Your Magical Moment?
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
You have to take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life when we allow the unexpected to happen.
…And also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived this moment, that it doesn’t exist – that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists – a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.
Excerpt from By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho
What are you doing with the everyday miracles that exist inside of you? In the ordinary moments of ‘doing’ is the extraordinary experience of ‘being.’ The magic moment, the miracle, the unexpected is happening – are you willing to take the risk to listen to it?
To experiencing magical moments,
