Life itself is a miracle. It affects us the way other things can’t – a warm puppy, a newborn baby, a miraculous recovery. The joy of something wonderful occurring that brings new hope and optimism to life.
A key aspect of a miracle is that it is beyond our control. Something that we were not consciously responsible for heightens the power of something sudden, wonderful and unexpected.
That’s why healing and recovery so often fit the miracle mode. Because no matter what we can do to assist and facilitate healing, it is always something that comes from within us but is outside of our control. It happens spontaneously without our own conscious effort.
And that’s where the enemy can come from. Entitlement.
That we think we are entitled to heal and get better simply because that is what our bodies do. That they are by their nature constantly self-healing and self-repairing.
The idea of overtime doesn’t even exist when it comes to healing. It is on all of the time. So why is there still so much sickness and breakdown? Here is one way this system breaks down…
What does human nature tend to do when we have something given to us automatically? That’s right, we take it for granted. Or even take advantage of it.
Of course, we don’t do it all the time. But just that it is so easy to do. Life is filled with choices about what to do. And if one of those choices can get done without us needing to accommodate for it? All the easier to focus somewhere else.
And that’s how our human nature can become our own miracle’s greatest enemy.
By simply taking them for granted. By taking the constant relentless healing energy of our body and becoming entitled about it. And that happens in two ways. By being unrealistic about how much – and how many different kinds of stresses placed on it – and also by not giving it what it needs to be in position to heal powerfully.
We can be smart about it and maximize the healing energy we have. And also, be strategic about how much stress we create. You know, the kinds of stresses and strains that add up over time, leaving a constant demand on your body’s repair systems. Seeing that makes it easy to choose to health care that can dig up some lost miracles – i.e., more of what your body wants to do already – heal.
Your health can protect you from the over-commercialization of the holidays. More and more, we hear about how the holidays have turned into something different than what they used to be. Instead of the “true” meaning of Christmas and other holidays they have become about consumerization. Buying and selling and big online sales, they had taken over the season.

Has anyone told you you don’t need permission to be a superhero? Or that you don’t need someone to tell you it’s okay to help other people? There are some amazing stories of people that decided they didn’t want to wait to help the people around them that needed help. These were people that didn’t have advanced degrees or complicated certifications. What they did have was the sense of action and an overwhelming urgency to start making changes in the world around them.
It’s a classic phrase by Rene Descartes – one that is instantly recognizable. And it comes from a totally unrecognizable world – 1637.
Yet it is still true today. Descartes’ attempt to get to the very bedrock of what he was as a human being is worth looking at as we turn over into the new year. Especially as we examine the beginning of something new – a time when discussions turn to the entire idea of new, and what the idea of new creates – the vision of new possibilities.
Anti-aging is a trick. And like all tricks, it’s not real. We all slow down, grow old, and die. But like all tricks, when done well, they are amazing and fun. Here is how the trick of anti-aging can work for you.
Take the aging progression above and expand it all the way. From the time we are very young, we grow, get bigger, stronger, smarter and generally better at everything as we go.
Here is the solution to understanding an ever-more common anxiety-causing malady. And how the key to solving it is getting two things – knowing what it takes to get healthy – and the power of understanding how to choose the quickest line at the grocery store.
