Magic

Magic, the production of wonders, is the work done by a magician-that is, real magic, not the tricks of a sleight of hand artist. Most everyone has probably wished they were a magician and able to transform things and self by waving a wand.
It may come a surprise to one that the transformation of self, persons, things and circumstances can all be accomplished by anyone that cares to accept the magic wand and use it. Life is the ultimate Magician, the creator, the producer of wonders. Just a few moments cease taking everything for granted and watch the many wonders of life. Almost at once one will be filled with awe. You are an expression of Life, thus a magician. However, a magician that never practices his or her art may well not be a magician.
The magician's wand that transforms things is the ability to see things differently. If one sees self as a victim of circumstances and of past and other persons, one lives in a very bad place, a place of misery. If one sees self as an expression of life and surrounded with possibilities to express life by actualizing these possibilities, and surrounded by persons that would be transformed by a little contribution from self to their pleasant surroundings, one is filled with thanksgiving and joy. One has waved their magic wand and transformed self from a state of misery to that of a person filled with happiness (thanksgiving) and in the process spread a little light and joy to others. Not to shabby for starters.
The more one realizes that one is a magician (living) and has a magic wand (the ability to see differently) the more thankful is the state of being. There is no happiness without thankfulness. They are one and the same thing.
This is magic, this is transformation.
This is radiating life.
This is living.
