Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Turning Mistakes Into Miracles…
The great Jazz Pianist Herbie Hancock tells a story about his time playing in the legendary Miles Davis’s band. Back in 1963, they were playing a show in Stuttgart, Germany. Herbie had just gotten a portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, which at the time, was the smallest portable tape recorder available in the world. Herbie wanted to use it to record their show, and to that, he had to crawl under his piano to set the microphones up. Miles didn’t realize what Herbie was doing, and he counted off the tempo to cue Herbie to start the show, but Herbie was still under the piano.
When Herbie doesn’t start the music, and Miles realizes that he’s under the piano, Miles puts his hand over his face and goes “UHGG.” Luckily, they were able to recover. And Herbie says that it turned into a really tight, powerful, fun innovative show that night.
Well, that was only the first mistake Herbie made that night. Later in the show, they were playing Miles’s song, “So What.” Right in the middle, Miles was playing one of his amazing solos, and then, Herbie came in with the wrong chord. And it was really obvious that it was the wrong chord – it sounded completely out of key. So what did Miles Davis do? He took a moment to pause, and then, he played some notes that actually made Herbie’s chord sound correct. It took Herbie a minute to recollect himself before he could even touch the piano. It astounded Herbie that Miles was able to take something wrong and make it into something right with the power of the choice of notes that he played next.
What Herbie realized was that Miles didn’t hear the chord as a mistake – he just heard it as something that happened, and so he found something that fit the notes that were played.
Well, the Universe is also a great jazz musician, with the masterful ability to make something miraculous out of what you see as your wrong notes.
Often, viewing something as a “mistake” is where you can get stuck. You can’t see the full picture yet, so you don’t know how this “mistake” can lead to miracles.
The Universe wants us to learn our lessons – and that’s what we’re here on earth to do. Sometimes, mistakes are the biggest teachers. The Universe has a lot of grace for us in that process – just like Miles Davis did with Herbie Hancock.
If you tend to be very hard on yourself, then there’s a good chance that part of your lesson is to learn how to love and forgive yourself. Or maybe your lesson is to take responsibility for something that happened. There’s a difference between taking responsibility for your actions and going into a shame or self-doubt spiral. If you get stuck in the place of regret, shame or self-loathing, you can block the energy from flowing. Forgiveness and taking responsibility moves the energy and opens up space for miracles to occur.
You can also look to Harrison Owen’s Four Immutable Laws of Spirit to more deeply trust that whatever happened is exactly the way it needed to occur. They are:
Whoever is present are the right people. Whenever it begins is the right time. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. And when it’s over, it’s over.
I’ll leave you with this quote from… the one and only Miles Davis! He says: “Do not fear mistakes. There are none.” Leave a comment and let me know about your experience of the Universe turning mistakes into miracles. Have a beautiful week… I send you love!
