The Unseen Force Behind Every Miracle

Let me share an interesting story, one from which I learned a valuable lesson when I was a youngster. This story goes back about twenty years, to the time when my family and I moved out of our apartment unit.

The new owner was an extremely religious man with nine children, ranging in age from nine to their late thirties. When he bought the place, we had the chance to live alongside his family for a few months.

During those months, we were invited into his unit and exposed to his way of thinking. He had money, but he wasn’t wealthy. He wasn’t just a believer, he was a follower. What stood out the most was the way he shared his wisdom without ever trying to convince or convert.

They were generous, kind, honest, and sincere. I suppose they prayed at least twenty times a day—not for themselves, but for everyone they knew, and even those they didn’t.

He didn’t hold a lucrative job, but their belief was simple: God would provide for all of us. And honestly, they never seemed to face difficulty when it came to daily needs.

One early morning, a mad hobo was buzzing all the doors in the neighborhood. My father noticed him, running around and laughing to himself. Later that day, my mother received a phone call from the lady of that house.

She was speaking with joy and amazement, saying, “I was praying this morning. I was so tired, I fell asleep during my prayer—and the angels rang the buzzer and woke me up.”

My mother didn’t say much in response. It might sound strange to some, but there are people who deeply believe in such powers—and for them, there is something greater, protecting and providing.

The man of the house never won the lottery, and yet they were always provided for. Money came from unexpected places—an old client offering a ten-thousand-dollar deal out of nowhere, or tenants who always paid on time.

As a youngster, I couldn’t understand their mindset. But over the years, I’ve encountered many who refer to themselves as lucky or as magnets for miracles.

A few years ago, I was listening to a powerful lecture by a man named Kevin Trudeau. He spoke about the importance of considering yourself a miracle attractor.

In short, he said, “Expect a miracle, and you will get a miracle.”

The point here is this: she believed—from the depth of her heart—that she and her family were being protected by a Higher Power and by angels.

You don’t have to be mystical or esoteric to invite miracles. You could be an atheist and believe in energy or science. Let us say, “Like attracts like.” Call it what resonates with you:

The Law of Attraction, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Krishna, The Divine, Consciousness, Higher Self, The Highest Self, The Law of Nature, Energy, or even Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty.

Your thoughts shape your reality. When you expect a miracle, the source delivers one. But the same is true for hardship and misfortune. If you expect misery, you’ll receive exactly what you expect. What you believe, you will get.

Let me share another story from Kevin Trudeau, in his inspiring audio series Your Wish Is Your Command. You can listen to it for free by entering the code YWIYC. No card information is needed. You can access it here.

In it, he says, “Some laws—like the law of gravity—don’t depend on belief. Whether you believe in gravity or not, if you jump off a building, you’re going down.”

He makes a good point. Look at life around you. Some people always speak negatively—about the weather, their friends, family, school, driving, the government—and yet they keep finding themselves in the same frustrating experiences.

A great friend of mine always complains about terrible drivers. And interestingly enough, whenever he’s behind the wheel, someone cuts him off or creates a problem, giving him yet another reason to complain.

Another friend, by contrast, is completely relaxed about driving. He flows through traffic peacefully—and no one bothers him. Is it luck? Coincidence? Or something else?

Remember: That law always works—whether you believe in it or not.

Let us begin thinking, talking, and acting with more positivity. Start viewing yourself as someone lucky—someone worthy of miracles and serendipity.

Keep in mind, it’s not about doing this once or twice. It’s about repetition. One helpful method is placing sticky notes around your room, office, or bathroom. Little reminders to return to a positive mindset.

And remember this thought to keep you grounded:

“Ten years from now, you could be living a life filled with miracles, simply because you got into the habit of thinking positively. Or ten years will pass, and you’ll remain the same. The years will pass either way. The choice is yours to make.”
