There’s no secret, we’ve all wished for some kind of miracle that would change our lives. That’s why the lottery is so popular, especially when the payout gets humongous. I admit, when the numbers are big, I’ll invest $2 for a miracle. So far, it hasn’t paid off, but it was fun to be in dream world.

Now, what I’d like you to realize is that a miracle has already happened the day you were born. This might be difficult for some to understand, but think about all that took place in order for you to be in this world.

Every ancestor in your life had to reproduce with someone at the right moment to create your next relative. Then, they had to reproduce with another at the exact moment to create the following relative that would eventually lead to you being created at a precise moment in time. There’s nothing more miraculous than the fact you were born into this world.

I hope you understand because trying to keep it PG was a difficult task, if you know what I mean.

Sometimes, we get caught up feeling sorry for ourselves because we think someone has it better than us. Just know, no they don’t. It’s time to realize that money isn’t the answer to happiness. I promise, I know plenty of wealthy people who are miserable. Their family takes advantage and their health is extremely poor.

Take a moment and realize the miracle that you are. It’s your choice of what you decide to do with your life. Yes, sometimes it takes sacrifice, dedication and determination to achieve your goals. You’re the miracle on this earth that has control of your destination.

I’m embarrassed for some of the stupid mistakes I’ve made, but my wife Tina and I realize that every bad and good decision led us to each other. So, it’s impossible to have regrets.

Don’t beat yourself up for the dumb decisions. Those are only lessons to help us get back up and keep fighting.

Now, what are you going to do with your miracle today? You have the choice of making those around you happy. It’s as easy as a big smile, along with a compliment.

What I’m trying to make you understand is that you are more perfect than you can imagine. Let it sink in that the miracle has already happened, so make this an amazing day.
