Spiritual Awakening:Become The Difference Maker!!!
In the spiritual awakening process it is important to become an action taker with the intent of making a positive difference in your life and in the lives of others. As you walk your spiritual path there will be challenges as what you are compelled to do do as directed by GOD may not resonate with others and what they want to do. Recently I had a situation where I thought something was left to me and another person thought it was left to them. In thinking the item was left to me I had plans to get the item appraised and then find a buyer the other person who thought it was left to them didn’t want to part with the item. My plan was sell the item and donate 20% to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and then split the remainder with the other person. In wanting to avoid conflict I simply gave up what I perceived as ownership of said item and realized that it wasn’t meant for me to have and that other opportunities would present itself and allow me to be a difference maker. In letting go and letting GOD and accepting that which I wasn’t going to change I cleared some blockages and found other ways to support The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and myself. I realized that I could still be a difference maker without the item. It was in detaching from the what might of been or could of been that I was able to let go and move forward understanding that GOD had other plans for me to be a difference maker.
It is when you commit to being a difference maker by making compassion and kindness a regular part of your day that you will become more and more spiritually aware and awake. As you set about each day with the intention of spreading peace, love, joy, and prosperity everywhere you go you will find it easier to become a difference maker. I am reminded of what mother Teressa once said “If you can not do great things do small things with great love so make a commitment to be loving and caring in all you do and become a difference maker.
In the sports memorabilia business it is important to have a certificate of authenticity when selling autographed items. In making sure you have a certificate of authenticity you assure the buyer that they are getting the real autograph. Imagine if people came with a certificate of Authenticity to show that they were spiritually aware and awake. As I was out taking action to help promote The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I kept telling the person I was helping to just be yourself. When we finished I thought about how we show up in situations and the importance of being authentic and true to your higher self by not trying to be something that you are not. As I sat in reflection I began to understand more and more the importance of being who I am and taking action on what I was destined to achieve. I looked back and realized that the concept of fake it until you make it does not work as people will see right through you and when you try to fake it you create blockages for you are not showing up as your real authentic self. In the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to tap into your inner divinity and unleash the real you that best serves your higher self. Take an inventory on how you are showing up and the vibration that it is creating and how it is affecting your day. If you find yourself having to be something that you are not take a deep breath and get back to center reminding yourself that you are a divine child of GOD destined to have peace, love, joy, and prosperity in your life. Then remember that at the end of the day you do not have to prove yourself to anyone for you are already great in GOD’S eyes and that is all that matters. 
In every situation you encounter it is important to stay calm, cool, and collected. Self-control is one of the fruits of spirit that allows us to progress in a positive manner in our personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is imperative to remember that the only person you can change is you. getting heated and angry does not serve you as it is like wrestling a pig in the mud you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. The best way to solve a problem is to simply take a deep breath and remain calm for getting angry only escalates the problem and many times makes the situation worse. Today at the bank a woman was in the non-customer line and she was a customer she was taken before a few people and one guy remarked I guess the rest of us are invisible. I simply made a joke and said oh English and Reading Classes start Monday followed by I am kidding. In doing this it seemed to ease the tension and everyone relaxed a little bit understanding that waiting is part of the process. have learned that having a sense of humor and being comfortable with who I am goes a long way in easing the most tense situations. I understand there will be times when your patience is tried because the people you are dealing with may not be as spiritually evolved as you are so when this happens you must simply let go and Let GOD. I do my best to remember that the way things are and the way things should be are two different things. In staying calm I have been rewarded.
