Do You Believe In Miracles?

"Miracle - A marvelous event manifesting a supernatural act of a divine agent"....This is how the dictionary describes the word....but the way I describe it, is somewhat different. I define it as...."Miracle - an event that could change the course of your life". Like most of you....I have always believed that miracles exist, but had never witnessed one. The only thing that made me keep hold of this small little word was my belief, and Hope!

There are times in life when one has to make a choice....it could either be for a small thing, or something huge....but making that choice is often the most difficult thing one has to do. I faced something very similar lately. I know it would sound too bizarre and not worth mentioning for some of you, but for me, it is important - because it has changed the way I think - and the way I believe!

It all began when I was selected in two of the major software companies in India, and making a choice between the two was tough. I was also working in a place where I was having the best time of my life, and so the sadness of leaving it was also prevalent. One of the companies had asked me to join them on 22nd August - which I thought - was too damn close! The other company, better than the first one, had not announced its date for me, and so I was a little dubious as what to do and what not to. And taking the scenario of the present software companies....it wouldn't have been a surprise if they would cancel the appointment. I didn't know what to do....what to think....It was a huge decision for me....and I didn't want it to go wrong!

After thousands of phone calls to the people I trust and believe, I decided to go in for the company calling me on the 22nd August. I got ready, and reached the office. Cell phones were to be switched off, and so I followed the instructions. I sat through some of the induction, but then felt my heart was heavy. I asked for permission to go to the washroom - there, I turned my phone on and made 5 calls - to dad, mom, my brother, and 2 of my good friends. I told the way I was feeling to all one by one....and I was amazed by the way everyone came out with the same response - everyone asked me to run out and skip this company!!!! I again thought for a minute or two....talked to a few other people there....and then....ran out! I didn't know what I was doing....my brain went dead....all I knew was that I was doing exactly as my heart was telling me to do.

After the day ended....I started questioning my decision....I was thinking what if I messed it all up....what if It all just went wrong. I then decided to not regret my decision, and just face the consequences....whatsoever they may be! A week went past, and I was enjoying whatever I was doing....when suddenly I got a call from my best friend, saying that the other company had sent out its date as 29th September! The moment I heard the news, I closed my eyes and whispered "Thank You!". I felt that an angel had forced me to leave the first company the other day....because had I joined it then, I would have been crying right about now!!!! It was a true miracle for me....a miracle - that HAPPENED!

It is not everyday that things work out in your favour - but when they do - you feel that there is someone looking out for you....and you feel good - and energised - and Blessed! And if things do not work out....then it means that you are even more Blessed....because something really good is coming your way very soon. The most important thing one must keep in mind is to never regret your decision....because if you do....you are messing yourself up even more than you already are....Just believe....and things will fall in place automatically!

I now completely believe that miracles happen....so when will you?
