Spiritual Awakening: Changes In Attitudes Changes In Latitudes!!!
As I have been on my spiritual path I have learned that sometimes all that occurs is determined by the energy that we bring to the task at hand. In many cases all we need is a change in our attitude and latitude. In many cases it simply is a matter of taken action and detaching from the outcome and simply allowing every thing to be guided by GOD. Today (6/28/2015) was a great example of my spiritual awakening. I was showing my DAD just how easy it is to find events to attend in the community when I typed in City of Sunrise Events 6/28. I found what I thought was a great event being held at The Sunrise Civic Center,a Japaneses Film and Cultural Festival. I drove over to the Sunrise Civic Center and there wasn’t an event, I rechecked the information and guess what it was for 6/28/2014. I was a bit disappointed as I was going to collect donations for Relay for Life. Instead of getting mad and becoming discouraged I found a quiet place to meditate and ask GOD what was next. I received the answer and it was to go to The Starbucks Plaza near La Granja and collect donations. With a positive attitude I took action and I walked into La Granja asking if I could ask the patrons for donations they said yes. Most of the patrons were receptive and donated. I then walked the plaza and asked for donations and many gave. In the past I would have been upset at those who didn’t donate but today I changed my attitude and showed gratitude to everyone regardless if they gave or not. I made a conscious decision that no matter what I would be caring and loving in my approach. One woman even said I am trying to pay my rent and I said eliminate the word try and say I will pay my rent as the use of try will stifle you all the time. In sharing thoughts of positivism and changing my attitude I may just change someone else’s attitude. I walked into Celebrity Sports and told them that I had been trying to reach them about a position with their store and I made a quick video to show my voice skills. I have a 2 PM interview tomorrow. Instead of being mad and upset that they didn’t return calls I simply shifted my attitude and did what I do best and that is show people my ability. In shining your light and changing your attitude you change the level of vibration and you create positivism that is illustrated in all you do.
Regular visitors to this blog have witnessed many entries ending with Stay Positive!!! I have been signing emails and message with these two words as I strongly believe that we can stay positive and have an attitude of positivism in all scenarios. I even have a FREE HUGS banner that includes words STAY POSITIVE on the bottom that I display whenever I can so as to remind people how showing love and positivism can improve their place in life as they continue to make a mind, body, soul, connection. I have found that by making a commitment to stay positive has enhanced my spiritual journey and allowed me to become more aware and awake to the power that I have inside of me to make each day a positive experience. There will be days where sadness will creep in such as the day of July 5, 2012, the day my mom, Judith Miller, was called home to GOD. Most people would focus how sad her passing and how how courageous I was for being the one that was there holding her hand when she made her transition. I was sad and a bit angry but I knew that being angry wasn’t going to change anything. So I changed my latitude by going downstairs to my car and grabbing my Relay For Life Hoodie as I was shivering and I cried and then I composed myself and I realized that my mom was already sending me messages. When things are going rough for me I will find a quiet sacred place to sit and meditate and communicate with my mom who directs me with the help of GOD. It is at these times that I realize that sometimes a change in latitude and attitude is all it takes.
I have adopted the anthem to be bold and powerful in all that I do and to make a statement that will inspire and empower others and encourage them to also be bold and powerful. I remember being told I was nominated for The S.AK.E. Community Service Award and then informed that I would be presented with the award and the exhilaration I felt knowing that I had stepped into my power and made a positive impact on those I cam in contact with through my work with The Lauderhill Broncos of The Pop Warner Football Program. During my speech I stated that it is better to build children than it is to repair adults and the audience erupted in applause. As I left the stage that night I understood that when you take action to be of service and value great things happen. A few weeks later I had a vision of designing a pair of sneakers to wear during The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, which are pictured here. I have since met a designed who now has them available on her website at www.justginnie.com in the footwear section. It was great to see that being bold and powerful has led this vision to come to fruition and thus I am able to further my mission to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. We all have the power to do great things, however sometimes we get tied up in the what ifs and the I can’ts that we do not take action and thus do not bring our projects to fruition and we stifle our spiritual growth. Ask yourself why am I not being bold and powerful? After you find the reason find tools to help you become more bold and powerful. 
When searching for the right pond to fish in make sure it is filled with people who have the attitude of gratitude.
