Be the Miracle: 50 Lessons for Making the Impossible

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the problems in the world. We often hear, “Why doesn’t someone do something about this?” Or say, “It’ll take a miracle to fix that.”
We want someone else to act, but miracles aren’t just what others do. They’re what each of us can do. They’re what happen when you decide to Start where you are. Get busy on the possible. Magnify the Good. Carry as you climb.
I hope you continue to enjoy my first book, New York Times bestseller God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours. It’s now in paperback and in 20 countries. You can also find me on Twitter and Facebook.
Thanks for all your support, and wherever you go, be the miracle.
