"Be willing to take the first step, no matter how small it is. Concentrate
on the fact that you are willing to learn. Absolute miracles will happen" -
Louise L. Hay
Anyone want to take a stab at this one? Is someone overusing the word "miracle" again? I mean, don't we hear this "miracle" word thrown around everyday?
"I got an A on my test."
"I got a new job after getting railroaded out of my old one."
"The surgery was a success and the cyst is gone."
"The cop didn't pull me over."
"The tornado hit every house on the block but ours."
"Wow, I have a hot wife!"
We all have our own personal stories or have heard stories where miracle is thrown around like a..... (rhymes with....too-bit-bore).
ANYWAY, what of the idea of taking baby steps toward accomplishing something?
And, what if I were to share with you this link, the wikipedia entry of the source of the quote, after reading (skimming) the link, does your attitude or response change at all?
When leaving your comments, try and leave them in 2 steps. Your initital reaction and then your reaction after reading her life story and what she truly means behind this quote. Maybe it'd change maybe it wouldn't, but I'd be interested none the less.
If I can muster any comments on this blog, it'd be a miracle.

Well, not having read anything but your post, I'd say the quote has everything to do with action -- and it downplays miracles. It's saying, the smallest action is what you eventually perceive to produce the biggest miracle as though there were not some cause-effect relationship.
Miracles belittle decisions.
Would you say it is similar to:
"Luck is when dedication and preperation come together."
I think we'd agree it is similar and so, unless I am not reading your comment right, I think she is saying there is a cause-effect relationship.
Have you had the chance to read the other links?
