Spiritual Awakening: Adapt, Overcome, and Thrive!!!
When I arrived home on Saturday (6/19/2021) after attending The Celebration Of Life for my good friend, Diane Fischer I realized that as we awaken spiritually we are guided by those who have become angels in heaven and that we are destined to thrive. Through out the weekend I was able to reflect and come to grips with the idea of finding joy after loss and that those who were called home to GOD would want us to thrive as we seek to enhance our personal, professional. and spiritual life. As I sat in meditation on Monday morning (6/21/2021) the message of becoming a thriver permeated my thoughts and the message I kept hearing was become a thriver and help others to thrive. When we lose someone we need to mourn that loss and then do our best to adapt to a life where they are no longer in their human form but are now our spiritual guides. As we come to terms with their loss we must then overcome by becoming action takers and continuing to walk in our truth so that we can be of service and value to others and thrive as we continue on our spiritual journey.
Over the years I have dealt with a lot of loss. My mom was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 and my Dad whom is not pictured was called home to GOD on June 7,2018. My step-dad who is not pictured was called home to GOD on December 24,2019. As I reflect on their passing I am reminding of the trials and tribulations that they overcame to leave a lasting legacy that drives me to bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into the lives of the people I come in contact with. I have learned to become an action taker as you never know when GOD will tap you on the shoulder and bring you home thus remember that today is the day the lord hath made so be glad and rejoice in it. Through the spiritual awakening process I have been able to communicate with those who are now angels in heaven and as a result I have been able to face everything and rise. Now is the time to overcome, adapt, and thrive by answering you calling and making the necessary changes to come alive so as to positively the communities where you live, work, and play. If the last week taught me anything it is that life can be taken at anytime so make each moment last by living a purpose driven life that will make an impact long after the day comes when GOD calls you home. Though it is sad when we experience loss we must allow ourselves some time to grieve and then we need to turn the page and then find joy in the memory of those who have been called home to GOD. One way to find joy after loss is to do things that honor the memory of those lost. In my case I have been seeking ways to be of service and value to others by making compassion and kindness part of my daily activities.
We can take solace knowing that the ones called home to GOD are now in a place filled with much bliss and abundance that their challenges here on earth have ended and now they dwell in the house on high free from pain and suffering watching over us and guiding us so that we can adapt, overcome, and thrive. We can now work on creating more memories and honoring those who are no longer in the physical realm but now dwell in the spiritual realm and who we can speak with and get answers that we seek as we continue to move forward in a positive direction of our dreams.
The memories will live inside of us propelling us as we move along our spiritual path creating more memories along the way. Each day gives us new opportunities to overcome, adapt, and thrive. Each day we can remember those lost and use their memories to move forward by stepping into our power and achieving the greatness that is our birthright. Now is your time to make a joyful noise unto the lord and honor those who are now angels in heaven. Through praise and worship we are able to overcome, adapt, and thrive. Now is the time to tap into your inner divinity and celebrate life as to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Though we have experienced loss we can find joy as we adapt, overcome, and thrive. May your spiritual path be guided by the angels today. Namaste!!!
It is time that we get it together by understanding that we are all divine children of GOD and that GOD wants us to prosper so that we can prosper others. It is time to find ways to get it together by being of service and value to one another. It is time to change the narrative that is being forced upon by through the government and media and to write our own narrative where people will get together on the same wave length and start to help one another. It is time to make sure everyone has their basic needs met so they have food, shelter, and clothing. The number on reason why we are having trials and tribulations in our community is that many people are simply desperate and have lost their way and now need to get it together. I have come to learn that the opposite of progress is congress and the politicos are not going to change things as the same issues we have today have been happening for many years. Many will point to the fact that we took prayer and discipline out of schools and we stopped holding people accountable for their actions and they would be correct however the question is how are you going to take action to get it together and make positive changes. Now is the time to get it together and make a commitment to be a positive influence in the community. I have found that part of the issue is that we have become a country that has gotten greedy, fat, and lazy which as you know are 3 of the 7 deadly sins so of course we have angered GOD and all that is happening is GOD’S way of telling us to get it together and to shape up.
As I was posting and sending out requests for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I had some one comment that in a time when people are struggling it may not be the best time to be asking for donations. I wrote back true there are many people struggling however there are also many people thriving and because cancer affects people daily I will continue my quest to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. As I finished my reply I began to think that it is all a matter of perspective and that many people are coming from a position of lack as opposed to coming from a position of abundance. I have come across so many people that are coming from a lack mentality that they remain stuck as they have created blockages that stop them from stepping into there power and achieving greatness. The time is know to change your perspective if you are coming from a lack mentality and to start thinking abundantly. Instead of saying things are tough and I am struggling say I am facing challenges and things are improving. Instead of making excuses as why you can not do something become an action taker and use your talents for good and see where that leads. It is your time to thrive and it starts with you awakening spiritually and changing your perspective.
I was watching the replay of Graig Sager’s ESPY speech when he was talking about how he found a special place on his walk from his cancer treatment. The special space was the toy train set. He said he would stop and simply watch the train set and it lifted his spirits. As he spoke about his special place I began to think of how important it is to have a sacred place to help stay centered, focused, and grounded. Through out our lives we will have many memories of special places that we hold as sacred spaces that allow us to gain clarity and thus become action takers. I remember that I found a special place when I was in the Philippines serving as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. The sacred spot was a spot on the beach where I had many opportunities to be of service and value but most importantly it was a spot where I could write and reflect and stay connected to source. It was at this spot where I began to understand the importance of being spiritually aware and awoke. There were many a day that I simply took a jeepney ride to this spot to get away from any worries. After visiting the spot I felt rejuvenated and ready to take on any challenges that would come my way.
