"Do yourself a favor as you walk through life: Slow down and take the time to really see. Take a moment to see what is going on around you right now, right where you are. You may be missing something wonderful."
On the camino i met a German girl, called Veronika, who told me just the same thing. She was running on the beginning and got injured and had to stay in one place for a couple of days. Then she realised that she did things in the real life the same way: she wanted to get everything at once and in such a hurry she didnt receive anything, ie she didnt find job, boyfriend, couldnt finish off the school, etc.
When she was able to return to the way she started to do it much slower. Sje enjoyed walking much better then before. I realized that once you let go every thought of what you want to achieve and you just let yourself be what you are, then you'll become what you want to be.
When you look around yourself you can realize that one single moment is full of miracles. you do not need to pray for years to see a miracle, you should only open your eyes and there they are. The miracle of existence, the miracle of the sunshine, the miracle of love, etc.
