Serenity Huyen Nghiem Tinh – 09.20.2024
Have you ever experienced a moment that seemed beyond mere coincidence? A moment that left you speechless, wondering if something greater was at play? Perhaps it was a time when life seemed overwhelming, yet the right person, the perfect opportunity, or a sudden realization appeared just when you needed it most. These are what we often call miracles—those moments that transcend the ordinary and fill us with awe, hope, and inspiration.
By the end of July 2024, I felt a calling to visit California. At first, I didn’t plan to return, but another pull brought me back home on August 30, 2024, exactly eight years since my husband passed away. Then, on September 11, 2024, I was guided back to California for a business trip, and I had my car shipped across the states. I felt something was wrong that night, but I stayed patient and did not reach out. The following day, I received a call saying the truck carrying my car had caught fire in Los Angeles. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed—thanks to God. When I saw my car, my heart sank. It wasn’t just a car; it was my Prince Charming, a companion who had been with me through countless journeys since 2019. Yet, in that moment, I understood life’s impermanence. Even though it’s just a car, it carries memories and feelings, and saying goodbye wasn’t easy. But I know now that I must continue on my path, liberated and open to whatever comes next.
In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to miss these miracles. We get so caught up in routines, worries, and plans that we forget to look up and see the magic surrounding us. But the truth is that miracles are an integral part of our existence. The universe is constantly working behind the scenes, guiding, protecting, and offering us opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation.
The Power of Trust: Trusting in the universe is the key to unlocking the miracles around us. Trust means letting go of our need to control every detail of our lives. It means accepting that there is a more excellent plan at work that we may not always understand but is always leading us toward our highest good. When we trust, we open ourselves up to infinite possibilities, and that’s when the magic happens.
Here are a few things trust allows us to do:
1. See beyond the surface: Trust helps us notice the hidden connections and patterns at work, guiding us in ways we may not immediately see.
2. Surrender to the unknown: Life is full of uncertainties, but when we trust in the universe, we can release the fear of the unknown and embrace the unfolding journey with peace.
3. Listen to our intuition: Often, our inner voice whispers the way forward, leading us toward miraculous experiences. Trusting in this voice opens us to divine guidance.
Everyday Miracles: Miracles don’t always come with flashing lights or grand gestures. More often than not, they appear in the simplest and most profound ways:
– Synchronicities: These meaningful coincidences can seem small, but they often bring the people, resources, or insights we need at the right time.
– Healing: Whether it’s physical recovery, emotional release, or spiritual awakening, healing is a miracle that often comes from trusting the process and the journey.
– Inspiration: Sometimes, a creative breakthrough or an unexpected solution emerges. These moments of insight are the universe working through us.
– Connection: Relationships that uplift us and offer love and support are among life’s most precious miracles.
Cultivating a Miracle-Minded Perspective: To experience miracles, we must first be open to them. By shifting our mindset, we create space for these everyday wonders to unfold. Here are a few ways to cultivate a miracle-minded perspective:
1. Practice mindfulness: Stay present in each moment. The more aware we are of our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings, the more attuned we become to the miracles happening around us.
2. Embrace gratitude: Focusing on the blessings in our lives—no matter how small—opens us up to the universe’s abundance.
3. Meditate regularly: Meditation helps us quiet the mind and connect with our deeper selves, allowing our inner wisdom to guide us toward new opportunities and insights.
4. Have faith: Trust that the universe works in your favor. Even when things seem uncertain or challenging, remember that there is a more excellent plan at work.
Conclusion: Miracles are not rare; they are everywhere, waiting for us to notice them. By trusting in the universe, we open our hearts and minds to the endless possibilities surrounding us. Life surprises us with beauty, wonder, and grace when we least expect it. The next miracle could be waiting for you right now—hidden in a kind gesture, a chance encounter, or a quiet moment of reflection. Remember, “miracles are here and now” – Serenity Huyen Nghiem Tinh and they are a natural part of everyday life. Keep your heart open, trust in the universe, and watch as the miraculous unfolds in ways that fill you with joy, peace, and awe. “The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on Earth.” – Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh
