MIRAI CODE · Count What You Have
To You for Whom Every Day Just Feels Heavy
The heart finds whatever you point it toward — so, one small "thank you" at a time.
Mirai — a Future Decoder who reads the sounds of your name
Only the things you lack seem to catch your eye, and out comes a sigh. However much you do, you're never filled. Are you worn down by days like these?
In my readings, I meet so many people who — though they are trying more than enough — carry always the sense that "it's still not enough."
— I know it. I have lived it.
After my divorce — this time, out of nowhere, I was let go from the company where I worked, dismissed one day in the most unreasonable way. My home, too, I had to give up. "Why is it always me?" Honestly, my heart very nearly snapped, all over again.
At first, I told everyone I met about how I'd been treated — resenting, spilling my complaints. But then, one day, I realized: however long a list of grievances I laid out, reality changed not one single thing. It only made me, steadily, more miserable.
So I stopped. Stopped resenting. And I turned, instead, to look at what was here, right in front of me.
No work. No income. And yet — a roof, to keep off the rain. Warm food, to eat. People, who worried after me. When I stopped counting what I didn't have, and began to count what I did — slowly, the color of the whole view began to change.
The heart finds whatever you point it toward
Our hearts have a curious quality.
Go looking for "not enough," and it's the lack that fills your sight. Go looking for "how grateful I am," and it's the blessings that come into view.
The very same day — and depending only on which way you've turned your gaze, the scenery before you changes entirely.
"Thank you" is the easiest way there is to lift your frequency
Words are an invisible vibration. And of them all, "thank you" is the simplest way there is to brighten, softly, the state of your own heart.
You don't have to force yourself to be positive. One a day is enough. Just go looking for a single, small "thank you." Warm food. A body that carried you again today. A stranger's smile, exchanged in passing.
The sounds of your name, too, are a "thank you" given to you
Come to think of it, your name is something like the very first crystal of "thank you" — given to you the day you were born.
To hold that sound as precious is, itself, a way of warming your own heart, gently.
What I am really doing, in every reading
So with those whose hearts have grown heavy, I go looking, together with them, for the "thank yous" hidden in their everyday. Once we begin the search, so many people find they were, in truth, surrounded by things to be grateful for all along.
In the end
Today — just one is enough. Go and find a "thank you."
That small habit will, little by little, turn the color of your days something warmer.
