Spiritual Awakening: How Strong Are You
I am often asked how strong are you? I answer I don’t don’t my own strength. As I began to read about those I will be honoring at The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards I began to see how therr strength and commintment made me stronger. I have chosen 44 individuals who exemplify strength in their passion for making the world a better place. I have met so many awesome people since I began to look for people making a difference in the lives of others.
A few years ago I learned about Terry Fox, whomis pictured here during his marathon of hope, where he walked across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. His story is portratyed in The Disney Movie, The Terry Fox Story. His determination inspired not only the people of Canada but throughout the world and a s a result The Terry Fox Foundation was formed.
Though I have not met Vince Papale I admire and respect him as he has overcome adversity in his life and now helps others to reach their full potential. He was not the biggest or strongest but he was the most determined and as a result was selected to paly for The Philadelphia Eagles and through harr work and a never give up attitude he made a mark as a terrific special teams player. Papale has battled colon cancer and today advocates for early detection. His story is portrayed in the movie Invincable.
Oprah is a great example of using your power for good. She has created a huge entrprise from humble beginning and eventually taking over a genre that was dominated by men for many years. On this International Women’s Day I celebrate her and all the powerful women that are changing the culture of their respective industries.
Halle Berry represents strength and courage in an industry that for years was dominated by men. Her commitment to helping other excel can be seen in her charitable endeavors.
