Turning water into wine: 4 ways to make miracles happen
Life is full of miracles.
Many times the miracles are performed by ordinary people and not by divine intervention or a higher power.
You too can make miracles happen. Here are four ways you can do the “impossible,” accomplish amazing feats, change lives, and perform miracles.
1. Know that one person’s miracle is another person’s goal
Doing the “impossible” sometimes seems like performing miracles to the onlooker, but to the doer it’s not miracle work. It’s hard work; work that requires patience, persistence, and different thinking.
One person views it as a miracle that somehow falls into place and another person views it as a goal that they put into place.
2. Don’t expect to impress everyone
Just as some people will be blown away at what you’re able to accomplish, others will just yawn at you. They won’t understand the magnitude of what you’ve done or maybe they just don’t care.
Don’t look to impress anyone but yourself with what you can do.
3. Refuse to accept someone else’s failure as fact
Before we take on a difficult task we usually look to others who attempted similar feats. We’re looking for indications about how hard it’s going to be for ourselves and we’re mostly looking for inspiration to push us.
Often though, we don’t find much hope. Instead of inspiration we find a vast wasteland covered in the broken dreams of those who tried but didn’t succeed and gave up.
However, just because so many failed before you doesn’t mean that it’s the truth and your destiny. You can be the pioneer who drudges through that wasteland no matter how long it takes.
4. Find solace in difficultly
When do miracles happen? During good or bad times?
When things are going great these achievements and events aren’t considered miracles because they aren’t very amazing and they’re not really needed.
Miracles only happen during difficult times when hope seems lost. So find comfort for your mind and soul in the adversity you’re dealt. It’s during these rough patches when miracles are created and thrive.

This is a good list although one which I think asks quite a lot of us, we who are prone to self doubt and second guessing. It requires a shed load of self reliance and a bucket load of self belief to carry out all 4 points consistently. However I think it becomes possible if we invest strongly in those ‘mojo moments’ when we feel up to the task and don’t stress when we can’t.
Hi Rosie,
It definitely requires a lot from us, especially self reliance and self belief. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

Point #4 in your article resonates with me the most. I condition myself to push through difficulty, adversity, heart-ache or failure.
I understand that there is ALWAYS a breakthrough to be had on the other side!
Hi Will,
I’m glad you feel the same way about adversity. There’s a great quote by Winston Churchill. He said “if you’re going through hell, keep going.” It sounds like he believed that there’s always something better on the other side.

Andrew, this is a very nice article and makes sense too. I believe from my religious practices, (Wiccan) For everything good there is always going to be something bad, to make it balance out. Even when you think its all been downhill, or maybe you lost “Faith” in your religion because you believe your prayer wasn’t answered, when in fact it wasn’t answered because it not happening was the answer. Faith in your religion such as me and mine, cannot be questioned. Maybe in the long run what you asked for was not good for you or maybe what you asked for would have effected others negatively and you just could not see the big picture! We must have our Faith and believe in our Gods and Goddesses for they know what is best for us. We got to understand we do things that effect other peoples lives everyday. We need to be careful of what we change, we need to always look at the long haul of it all, for if that will effect other peoples lives, it needs to be for the positive. In my religion we believe whatever you put out bad will come back to you three times fold, or three times as bad as you put out. In the Wiccan Rede, the main lines read: “Do what thou wilst, but harm ye none!” So we do what we can to help better life for people not harm them. It is a completely positive religion, to know it is to have a great peace of mind. Great article Andrew! “ATTABOY”! Your doing a great job! Thank you, society needs a new outlook!
Glad you like this article too! The Wiccan religion is very interesting and does sound very positive.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
