Moving Mountains or Maybe Just Mole Hills

There is a famous quote variously attributed to several people that

says, " Whether or not you believe you can do a thing, you're right. "

In the Book of , Jesus audaciously states, " Had you the faith

of a mustard seed, you could command a mountain to be moved from here

to there and it would be so. "

Both statements seem, clearly, to indicate that we have within us an

astonishging capacity to do what would ordinarily be considered

miraculous. In both instances, the fuel for the miracles is our

belief.

I have often pondered this statement of Jesus and thought, " Ok, I

believe it. I command the mountain to move. " Immediately, even

before I can get the words out, " common sense " enters my mind and

says, " This is nonsense. The world does not work that way. " Doubt

has entered the picture.

In Buddhism, doubt is one of the " five hindrances " to wisdom and

considered the most difficult to overcome. We live in a society that

teaches us that doubt and mistrust are almost prerequisites for our

own self-protection. I wonder if we have not allowed our doubt to

hinder us in achieving our goals.

Although easier said than done, no doubt (pun intended), perhaps if

we could suspend our disbelief just long enough to allow a firm

belief in ourselves and our potential to take root and flourish; we

could begin bringing the miraculous into our lives.

Maybe we start with things smaller than mountains like succeeding in

our career, or strengthening our friendships and relationships, or

simply achieving peace of mind. Then perhaps we can tackle the

mountain. But then as Edmund stated, " It is not the mountain

we conquer, but ourselves. "

How true!

Everyone have a great Thursday. Find a situation today to suspend

your disbelief long enough to allow your miracle.

Be peaceful Be prosperous
