Miracles do happen that I believe anything is possible. I feel that actions in life do not happen for a reason, but it only could happen if you believe. I feel believing in miracles only happen if you believe. Many find it hard to believe that miracles do happen because they experience some type of tragedy, but do not believe that they could overcome a tragedy. A miracle could be just having something special in your life. For example, I believe having my mom is a miracle. No one knows when their time is up and any day could be that day. But having my mom everyday in my life will always be a miracle. My mom always makes everything possible that seem as if they are miracles. She accomplishes so much in her condition which I also feel that is another miracle. My family believes that she is in a condition where she has to sit and rest all day, but nothing stops my mother; she is my Mrs. Incredible.

Many find to believe that winning the lottery is a miracle, but I believe seeing it as something lucky that happened. Miracles only happen if you truly believe in something. I have seen shows where people over come cancer. The only actual treatment they felt they had been, believing that they would make it through the cancer. Now that is a miracle. You can not believe that you can win the lottery but you can want to win the lottery. It is all about believing. In 2005, was the year when the Chicago White Sox won the World Series. I, being a die hard Sox fan, felt that was a miracle. I believed that they were going to win the series and eliminate those teams that were great in the American League. That is another miracle I felt was by believing. Not everything happens because you or someone really needs it and is hoping for a miracle, but if you truly believe that anything is possible, then absolutely it could happen.

Finding a way to believe that anything is possible can be difficult. If only people can really believe that miracles could happen that would change everyone’s ways of how things happen.
