Opening the door of miracles.
Opening the door of miracles. Reach our highest level November 12, 2012 by Karen Berg
If you read inspiring stories, you will find that most of the people we call h roes are simply individuals who found a dark situation and had a passion and perseverance to create something positive, despite everything.
One such inspiring example is Pushpa Basnet, one of CNN's Heroes of the Year 2012, who helped develop a housing program for the children of Nepalese prisoners after learning they were growing up in jail with their parents. Last week was also full of powerful stories about men and women who are putting all of them to make things better for their neighbors, and even for strangers, after the wake of destruction of Hurricane Sandy. Certainly history teaches us that most of humanity's achievements have flourished from the seed of hard work and perseverance sown for the benefit of others in the face of difficulty.
The same was true for Abraham in the Bible. If we look at Abraham's life, we will see that he reached his high spiritual level because he passed through ten tests. But if we look a little deeper, we will see that it was not the tests themselves that led him to where he needed to be, but rather the way in which he responded to them. Abraham did not complain in the face of every difficulty or said: Why do I have to do this? Why am I being forced to suffer in this way? Rather, whatever the Creator asked for, Abraham accepted it as his role and with certainty. He took the circumstances that were given to him, shaped them and created beauty from them. What seemed negative, Abraham turned it into something positive.
How many times life has thrown us a curved ball and the first thing we say is “how is it possible? Why me? How did my business fall apart? How is it possible that my relationship failed? After all, am I not a spiritual person? Most of the time, we live the day as a series of activities to complete: wake up, go to work, do whatever it takes to continue our lives. If we complete these tasks, we are happy and feel productive, and if not, we feel dissatisfied. Abraham lived his days differently. Every time he was confronted with aggression, every time he met people looking to hurt him, every time he ran and ran into a wall, he said: “I accept this situation for what it is, and instead of letting me victimize, I will transform it into something positive. ” In other words, Abraham lived to find spirituality in every day, in every trial, in every frustration he faced.
The truth is that we don't have to wait for tragedy to wake us up. Each of us, if we open our eyes and connect a little more with our lives, we will find that we have opportunities every day to transform the negative into positive. Most of the time, when someone or some situation challenges us, our first thought is usually: how can I make this situation go away as soon as possible? Instead of how can I transform this situation into Light? Sometimes, we can even be quick to push the situation aside that we don't realize we have missed an opportunity to make a change in our lives.
This week, we will be aware of the opportunities that the universe sends us to bring spirituality into your daily activities, in order to reach the heights for which we were destined.
