Spiritual Awakening: Soul On Fire!!!
As I was driving in to WRPBiTV today i was listening to Reach FM and Third Day’s song Soul On Fire was playing and I immediately thought how important it is to be a soul on fire and create a oneness consciousness that will strengthen the bond of mind, body, and soul. Have you ever gotten so excited about something that became an action taker and started out really fast and then the fire in your heart and soul started to dwindle as you experienced trials and tribulations and you stopped pushing forward? I think we have all been there, I know I have. Through out the spiritual awakening process I have learned that as long as there is a single burning ember in your soul you can fan that flame and ignite a fire that propels you past your negative self talk and all the negative outside influences that doubt your ability to achieve. It is when you become a soul on fire that you can overcome your doubts and the doubts of others.
When you are seeking to set your soul on fire it is important to look inside ourselves and draw from our experiences that drove us to succeed so we can create more successes. As I marked a 1/2 century on earth on August 2 I sat in quiet reflection and realized that I had accomplished many great things because of my soul being set on fire. I have written previously about how my soul is on fire to show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life. I have lived by several beliefs that still burn in my soul today and one is that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. This was best illustrated by my U.S. Peace Corps Service from July of 2002- February 2003 in The Philippines as I served as a Community Services Educator at a Regional Rehabilitation Center For Youth in Bauang, La Union. Each time I sense the fire to continue to be of service and value smoldering and about to go out I draw on the memories of those 6 months and I get fired up again. I have a CD with The Philippines National Anthem and some other local Filipino music that I play to get me fired up and to remind me why I am setting my soul on fire.
Each time I play The Philippines National Anthem I rekindle a spark and and able to start a fire in me that hopefully will burn bright enough to illuminate the world to show people that there is hope and healing all around and that together everyone accomplishes more.
As you fan the flames in your soul and fan the flames with purpose you will set your soul on fire and you will not be stopped. I have stated that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you figure out why. When you discover your why you will see that the flame in your soul can not be extinguished. When you commit to being lead by GOD and your passion and you decide to take action by starting a fire in your soul you will see a great deal of growth in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Once that flame is lit in your soul the only one who can extinguish it is you.
I was at The South Florida Gold Workout today (7/19/2015) in my capacity at PA Announcer and Team Ambassador when I met Nate Thomas. Through out my spiritual awakening I have had this sense of striking gold and such was the case with Nate Thomas as he and I had a deep conversation of being a complete person. As I left the gym I thought wow that was a golden moment. As I drove to Starbucks I kept thinking how many times do we miss opportunities to strike gold?
I met Diana McClintic on line via Facebook. She has some great insight into simply living life and going with the flow and allowing the universe to work for you. Here is here journey.
I have retired from nursing. I was an RN for 32 years. It actually became harder after a knee injury to be on my legs running around lugging a computer for 13 hours while taking care of people, and everything had to be perfect. No mistakes allowed and no time for breaks. There were days I would have 8 patients and discharge a couple of them meaning empty beds so I’d get more folks in from ER while taking care of the others. People were in for getting blood and sometimes you would have 2 of those patients at a time, so after a couple units then you discharge them and there you go another empty bed, another admission. People were in for serious medical problems and some may be sent to ICU and there you go, another admission. Tons of paperwork after the 12 hour shift ended. Nurses do so much that they do not get credit for doing. Now I am a retired nurse living on a small pension from a state job I had for 11 years. My children were doing fine so I finally for the first time in my life could do something for myself.
