Make Sure You Take A Little Time Each Day To Notice Small Miracles

I’m a pool person. I grew up spending my summer days at public pools, and then in my backyard once our family got our own pool. Nowadays wherever I travel, the first thing I look for at the hotel is the pool.
So, when I discovered a cool public pool in the next town, I couldn’t wait to go. Finally, with a free weekend, I headed there after I finished my errands. As I pulled into the parking lot I realized I had forgotten to bring a towel. Too far from home, I looked for the nearest Wal-Mart to pick one up, thinking I’d probably have to spend $20. Then I spied one for $10 but it had cartoons all over it. Nope. The next aisle had a selection of solid-coloured ones for $6. Perfect! What luck!
I scanned it into the cash register, and when it came up to $2.97, I laughed out loud.
A small miracle for sure, but a miracle, nonetheless. So glad I noticed it.

Try this ONE thing
Are you noticing all the small miracles in your life? Give thanks for each one on the way to even bigger miracles.
Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.
The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
