Visit www. expectamiracle.com and leave your own story of a miracle. wo of the greatest words in our vocabulary are ‘expect’ and ‘miracle’. These words awaken the power of expectation and make possible the enriching qualities of hope, desire, enthusiasm and excitement that unfold into a rewarding and purposeful life. By expanding our level of expectation, we expand and increase our miracles. Our level of expectation sets the limits for our life. If we only expect a little, then that is exactly what we get. We can change ourselves, and the world, by our level of expectation. Miracle is a big word and to some, expecting a miracle would seem ridiculous. But then, that depends on your worldview, your mindset and your understanding of miracles. Here is my description of a miracle: A miracle is a wonder or a marvel. Miracles can be big or small and they all have the effect of changing a person’s perception on life. Many people expect miracles to be huge and be related to God or some higher power, but most miracles are every day events such as seeing a baby smiling for the first time, or an act of kindness by a stranger. These are the miracles that are most remembered because they are spontaneous, emotionally connected and have a lasting impact. A ShIFT IN FOCuS Most of us, in our various lives, are conditioned to expect the worst. However, the simple act of expecting the best – a miracle – can be enough to turn around people’s lives for the better. In his great book, As A Man Thinketh, James Allen said: “What the mind of man can see and believe, it can achieve”. A shift in focus from where a person is currently, to where they would like to be, can be a truly momentous moment. Anthony Robbins, in- ternational author and speaker says we can change our emotional state, and change our destiny, in a heartbeat and I believe this is a truth. PuRPOSE AND VALuES To start, we all need to find our life’s purpose. Often, I think, people struggle to find pas- sion in their lives because they have never really articulated what their life’s purpose is. 18 • CANAdiAN ChirOPrACTOr | JUNE 2009 www.canadianchiropractor.ca John hinwood, dC feature
