Do You Believe in Magic?

Originally, I planned to write a post about how we can bring more magic into our lives. Then a question dawned on me: in this crazy world of ours, do we even still believe in magic? Do you believe in magic?

I’m not talking about the magician rabbit out of a hat variety or the supernatural, casting a spell kind of magic.

I’m talking about magic in our everyday lives.

A quick Google search defines magic as ‘wonderful, exciting’ and gives the example of ‘what a magic moment’.

Going on that definition alone, someone washing the pile of dishes currently on my kitchen sink would, to me, be both wonderful and exciting, but that probably won’t pass as magical to most.

As a reader of personal development blogs, I often see the magic word used (I’ve probably whipped it out here a few times myself), yet I wonder what people perceive as magical.

I wonder if some people scoff or grow cynical just at the mention of it.

I fully suspect that magic means different things to different people. The big question is, what is your version of magic?

Is magic a moment of spontaneous pure joy? Is it when we cry tears of happiness or laugh until we cry? Is magic like beauty, all in the eyes of the beholder?

Is it magical when we spend time with our beloved pets? Is it a magical moment when a parent is holding their child? Or how about when loving families come together to celebrate big occasions? Are all of those moments magical?

Do we stop to see the magic in those treasured moments, or are we too busy thinking about what comes next to appreciate how incredible those moments really are?

Is magic only for when we travel and experience beautiful locations?

Whilst we might experience a magical moment while admiring a beautiful sunset in an exotic location, does magic exist in everyday life?

Does it exist at work, for example? Is it in our living rooms at night after a hard day? Does magic exist in daily routine, or do we only find it in the extraordinary, big-ticket moments?

Perhaps your interpretation of the word defines whether you believe in it or not. Perhaps your definition of magic determines how much of it you experience in life.

I suspect magic is a bit like love. It’s everywhere, but if we don’t believe in it, if we don’t believe we deserve it, it makes it that much harder to experience, find, and hold on to. Perhaps magic comes to those who believe?

Believe in magic, and you will start seeing and experiencing more of it.
