Belief takes you there

I was watching this film, "Dragonfly". A story about a couple, who are doctors. The wife is as much a social worker as she is a doctor. She goes to Venezuela to treat the kids in the jungle and in a mishap she dies. Tragic, isn't it. But somehow her husband is made to believe, by some events, that she is still alive and trying to communicate with him. Certain events occur in his life, that lead him to the place where the tribal people live in the Venezuelan jungle. When he asked the people there about his wife, they tell him that they were unable to save her body, but they saved her soul. They take him to a small hut and in there in a cradle was his child, lying there safe and sound. His wife was pregnant before she died.
What does this tell us? It's hard to believe in miracles these days. But somethings happen around us, knowingly or otherwise, which helps us all the time. Belief and hope and the key to life and happiness. We believe that we will have a good day everyday. We believe that we will be able to do certain things. We believe that we will be able to provide good care to our family. Whether things happen according to our belief is one thing, but we do believe. Why do we?
I keep asking this question to myself. What is this belief all about. To some people, seeing is believing, to others it might be something else. But we do believe, dont we?.
So lets start to believe that we will be better tomorrow than what we are today. Lets make the environment around us better!!! Give it a thought.
