Spiritual Awakening: Coincidence or Fate That Is The Question
I began to ponder this question as I opened Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses book ONENESS CONSCIOUSNESS HEAL YOUR LIFE WITH DAILY PRAYERS AND MEDITATIONS today and saw the verse “Thia is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalms 118:24 and realized that this same verse is on my calendar for April and then as I randomly opened my bible I turned to Psalms 118:24. Thus the question is it coincidence or fate that has brought this idea into being. My father came to vist and we began to discuss happiness and through out the day people I encountered shared the concept of happiness. Last night on my radio show, which is heard from 7-8 PM EDT at www.blogtalkradio.com/thirdeyerradio1 on Monday, the topic was happiness.
I have often said there are no coincidences as the universe conspires to bring ebrything together as it may be sought at the right time. How many times have you heard the message only to think coincidence? Well it was not coincidence it was source helping you to achieve. I am reminded of a day back in October 2011 when I was driving Home from an event and I had this desire to turn into the park where their was a football field. There was a game going on and I parked and went to the press box and offered to do the announcing, I was told go downstairs and speak to our vice-president, I did and I was told sure go upstairs and announce. I did the rest of the games that afternoon and was invoited to do the homecoming games. I was then invited to do the playoff game. I was nominated by The Lauderhill Broncos as Volunteer of The Year for The SAKE Awards. Was this fate or coincidence.
One of the first things we must answer in becoming self aware is what is my vision? On 3/30/12 I was fortunate enough to attend The Vision Quest 2012 Conference hosted by Allow Your Vision To Soar. As I listened to Kimberly West speak and tell her story and share this wonderful insight ” Every dark experience you have encountered in your life only means one thing! There is something so much brighter just waiting for you to see,”I began to realize all the pent up supressed activities of the past were not serving me and through out the day I began to release them and let go. I steeped out of my comfort zone a bit and participate did a breakthrough facilitated by Dr. Melissa Anderson, The Quantum Catalyst, who placed a arrow to my neck and had me walk forward through my fear and I shattered the arrow. I kept the arrow and have plans to make an art piece out of it with a message about overcoming fears. I began to write down notes and defined one of my visions and that is to positively touch and impact lives of those affected by cancer. As I delved into this vision I realized that I am doing this daily through my work with Relay for Life and sharing 1-800=acs-2345 with people. As the day unfolded I realized that we all have a vsion and sometimes it takes some work to realize that vision. There were many highlights that helped me to set my vision in motion.On of which was watching and hearing Amy Barbera Sing.
We all have talents in us and for many these talents lie dormant until we find them and let them come out. Many times our talents come alive when we begin to find our passion and discover our purpose. There are times when the talents are there but due to fear or lack of encouragement we do not pursue the opportunity to use the talents. Many times we have natural ability and when used in a positive way our life improves. Discovering your talent and letting it come out takes an understanding of who you are and how you are expanding and growing.
Spirituality: Discovering Your Talents
When was the last time you did a talent inventory? Have you asked yourself what am I good at, what talents do you possess, am I investing in myself?
Under the categories section you with notice a word prasyer, it is a word I made up to describe praise and prayer. After I made up this word I began to think about anthems for inspiration, songs or other influences that are uplifting and help to focus on praise and prayer. I was very fortunate when planning The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards to reach out to Mary Morrissey who sent 50 copies of her book, The Miracle Minute to me. Each day I read a passge from the book to assist in getting me focused to be a shining light of hope to all I come in contact with.
Mary Morrisey provides many anthems for inspiration in her book The Miracle Minute.
A few days ago I was surfing Youtube and came across this video that has always inspired me and I hope it will inspire you.
How many times have you wanted to go for it and the voice in your head talks you out of it or a family member or friend puts down the idea and you foolishy listen to their input? This used to happen to me many times until the day I decided it doesn’t matter what others think what matters is that I believe in what I am doing and I will find a way to make it work. I am reminded of the one legged wrestler, Anthony Robles who won The NCAA Wrestling Tournament at his weight class last year as he didn’t let people hold him back he went for it and he won.
Anthony Robles serves as an example to all us that lifes great treasure lies in human personality.
I thought wow I can show up the afternoon before The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards and set up the red balloons I had chosen to represent power. I was very happy when I left the church the balloons were flying high and I was ready for the next step. Saturday Morning I arrived at the church and the ballons had fallen from up on high to the floor. I though okay sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men go astray so what do I do? I used what was left of the helium to fill up a few ballons and then I just spread out some human air filled balloons around the room and continued to set up. As I continued to set up I began to realize the lessons being taught by the helium balloons:
1: You can plan and have expectations but sometimes things happen that you adjust to and it turn out better than expected
2: Always have a back up plan
3: Leave time the morning of the event to blow up the balloons so as to have your maximum impact
4: Don’t over react as things have a way of working out in the end.
Imagine that your life is like driving on the autobon without a speed limit and ask yourself why am I putting a limit on what I do. The idea of evolving spiritually is to become limitless and shift from a position of lack and fear to a position of abundance and joy. So many times I hear people say things like I Can’t and I answer give it a shot the worst thing that will happen is you will learn from the experience. I remember the rope climb in high school I kept thinking I can’t do that I am not strong enough then one day I said I am going to do this and though I only made it half way to the roof I felt a sense of accomplishment after weeks of training and many attempts I finally reached the roof. I knew at that time that we can be limitless in our beliefs if we just go for it. The shift can be as simple as going from:
1: I can’t do that I am not strong enough to I will use my strength and let it lead me to success
2: I can’t afford that to I will find a way to afford this
3: I am not good enough to I am getting better each time I do this
4: I am overweight to I have a desire to be healthier
I recommend looking up Shannon Nelson and Coach Shantel Springer to help you overcome your limitting beliefs and to become limitless. When I first started to plan The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards I began to use limiting beliefs and then I shifted and tomorrow I get to watch my vision come to fruition as I deliver a day of empowerment and inspiration while raising funds for The Reaching Out To Cancer Kids (R.O.C.K.) Program because I went from limitting beliefs to imitless thinking. I looked to source and source guided me and put a few people in my path to help bring this to fruition.
Spiritual Awakening: The Path To Limitless Thinking
This is a source that will help you on your path to limitless thinking. Limitless thinking begins when you stop listening to the doubters and when you stop doubting yourself. You are a powerful inteligent person who can create endless possibilities. I have seen first hand people that were told it can’t be done go out and prove the naysayers wrong. Some keys to getting on a path of limitless thinking are:
1: Being open to receive
2: Being an action taker
3: Being of service and value
4: Studying and applying what you studied
5: Getting knocked down and getting back up
This will help you to continue to become a limitless thinker. Remember those saying it can’t be domne shouldn’t interupt you while you are getting it done.
Margaret Mead instills the idea of limitless thinking by encouraging people to work together. It is when we encourage eachother and lift eachother uo through limitless thinking that we make the biggest impact.
Many laughed at Einstein at first and thought he was bit out there, today he is regarded as a leader in scientific innovation.
When using limitless thinking use your power to do good and to help those seeking your assistance. The power to change lies within you, do something!
The power is inside you, let it out and change the world with your limitless thinking.
It is through limitless thinking that you can reach heights that you never though possible. People may say you can’t do something, don’t listen and do it anyway.
Florence Grifith Joyner(FLOJO) revolutionized women’s track and field through limitless thinking. When they said it can’t be done no woman has ever run that fast she said I will be the first. Flojo made her transition to heaven in 1998 and left behind a legacy for all to follow. Controversial at times but always classy with a message that anything is possible.
Beauty, Class, and Brains made Florence Griffith Joyner an amazing person whose legacy today shows others that boundries can be overcome. What are you doing to become a limitless thinker.
Remember there are no limits. The moment you become a limitless thinker great things happen. Continue to be limitless as you continue on your path of spiritual awakening.
Spiritual Awakening: Be An Advocate For Positivity
What thoughts are you watering to create positivity? We can wake up every morning and look at the negatives or we can choose to do something and change them to positives. Imagine if today a newscaster said breaking news 90% of Americans are employed, 88% of property owners are paying their mortgage on time, or 89% of all high school students are graduating, the change in attitude and the positive shift that would occur. Shifting from a gloom and doom, if it bleads it leads mentatlity to the concept of positivitity is going to take a conscience effort for people to become advocates for positivity. It was written if you think you can or you think you can’t you are right. It is a lot better when you adopt The I think I can attitude. You are a special person who can do anything you put your to. As Napolean Hill stated what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. How many times have you had an idea to become an advocate for positivity and something held you back? It could have been the memory of someone saying you aren’t good enough that you haven’t released and said to yourself I am good enough and I am going to move forward in a positive direction and whatever happens happens.
How many times do we ask what is my purpose? When we awake and begin to realize that our true purpose is to be of service and value to all that we come in contact with and thus make our world a better place by helping others we truly grow and expand. Today I was out promoting The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards and went to Magics Arcade and as I stated I came to introduce myself the gentleman behind the counter said he wasn’t interested and isn’t buying anything. I answered with how silly are you going to be to not be open to receive and thus let an opportunity to bring business to you go by the wayside. After a dialogue he came around and thanked me.I left feeling that part of my purpose of helping other people excel was met as the next time someone comes into his business he may take this lesson and grow and expand thus creating more success for him and his business. The key is to know why did you open your business? Why are you doing what you are doing?
Spiritual Awakening: Dreamers, Leaders & Achievers, Which Are You?
As I left Salad Creations in Coconut Creek, Florida and began my drive home I drove through several school zones with children all around and I thought look at theses dreamers, leaders, and achievers. I then began to ask which one are you. My answer cam in the form of a message from source stating you are all three as you dream of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays, you lead by hosting events to raise funds for The American Cancer Society, and you achieve by moving forward following your passion to positively impact the lives of those you come in contact with keep up the great work. I thanked source and when I arrived home sat down to write this blog to help you answer the question of are you a dreamer, a leader, or an achiever or are you all three. In most cases we are all three as we dream and then take action to lead and then once we marry passion with action we find success.
