As the global economy shifted money to protect banks, people hoped for miracles or leadership; but it became difficult for most of the public to witness miracles. At the same time, in Yoga classes, students kept attending for stress management and relief from panic attacks. Worry and fear can damage a whole society.
Many of us hope and pray for miracles. Some of us grew up hearing slogans, in the workplace, such as: "Work Hard, Be Faithful... You'll Get Your Just Reward." If we believed what we heard, we waited years for our just reward. Many people still wait for a miracle to happen or a just reward to fall into their laps.
Opportunities happen every day, but the untrained eye fails to see it. The problem being: Some of us became programmed to wait through long apprenticeships. Sooner or later, the company we worked for, would realize we took pride in our work, we worked hard, and we did a good job. We were programmed to wait for recognition.
Maybe the company we worked for closed, we became unemployed, or we became disenchanted with the company, and left. To quote James Dee Richardson: "If hard work were really a virtue, then mules would be saints." Does this mean we should endorse laziness? Absolutely not - perseverance is a great quality, but each of us should develop enhanced skills to recognize opportunities and potential miracles.
