Miracles And Wishes

If we are really lucky, our wishes will become our miracle.

"You never know where the next miracle is going to come from."- One Tree Hill

In life, there are all sorts of different people. We are always defining ourselves, putting ourselves into groups, and trying to be the best versions of our selves. One thing that is clear about all of us is that we are all striving for the same thing- We all want success and we all want love.

With those same goals, we try to make things happen for ourselves, we try to make things work in relationships, we try to put ourselves where we think we need to be, and we try to put ourselves with people we think we need to be with. Just because we think we have to have that one thing or that one person in our lives, it does not mean we actually need that one thing or that one person. It simply means that we are making a wish and hoping to receive a miracle. To really understand the difference between our fate and our wishes we have to understand the difference between the two.

Wishes are what we want to happen. We see something or we want something and we wish and we strive to have that wish. Wishing upon a star, or an eyelash, or a wishbone, or a feather, or even birthday candles, does not mean that a wish is going to come true. That wish has to be a part of your destiny before it comes true.

Miracles are a part of our destiny. Miracles are unexpected. Miracles are a part of us that we did not know was going to happen. In my opinion, miracles are SO much better than wishes. They are the things that God chose us to receive. They are blessings and they are the parts that make us complete. There is nothing like a miracle.

So, what's the point of making wishes if they won't come true? The point of a wish is to have hope and to give us a desire to try and achieve. Sometimes, if we are really lucky, we will make a wish that will become our miracle. In the meantime, do not get discouraged if your wish does not come true. Great things take time.

While you are waiting for that miracle to strike in your life, work on yourself, make new goals, make more wishes, listen to a lot of music, heal yourself, and try to find the best part of yourself and emphasize on it. Have some faith, some good laughs, and some hope. Life gives us a lot of lemons, but lemons eventually make lemonade.

That next miracle is close to you. It may not be tomorrow or next week, but it is coming. When it strikes be thankful and enjoy the beauty of the miracle. Like I said, miracles are so much better than wishes. The miracles of our lives slowly complete us and one day at the end of our roads, we will be able to look back on all of the miracles that happened to us and we will truly be able to understand why some of the wishes never came true. If some of the wishes that you were hoping for came true, then you would not be able to have the miracles that made you complete.

Our past life is nothing compared to our future. Be thankful even when wishes do not come true, because your miracle is better and it is on its way. Life is full of beauty and magic, we just need to learn how to appreciate it more.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
