I enjoying ‘listening’ to Laurence Platt and his speaking on Conversations for Transformation. In his most recent post, I found myself wide awake when reading the following line:“a miracle is something that validates who you are rather than diminishes who you are”.
It occurs to me that a great way, a powerful way, a life affirming generative way of playing BIG is to be the source of the kind of miracle that Laurence is pointing at.
I invite me-you-us to play BIG: to be the source of miracles in all of our relationships – at home with the family, with our friends, with colleagues at work, with ‘strangers’ with whom we cross paths.
I leave you-me-us with a slightly modified definition of a miracle:
A miracle is that which validates who you are rather than diminishes who you are.
Yesterday, showed up for me as a delightful day. Why? I caused a miracle in my relating with-towards my wife. And I find myself inspired to cause at least one miracle a day. Are you up for doing the same? Are you up for sharing (with me) the miracles that you are causing or up for causing?
