Spiritual Awakening: Be The Miracle!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Be The Miracle!!!! 

 

As I watched this video I kept thinking of the scene from Bruce Almighty where Jim Carey’s character Bruce tell the audience to be the miracle!!! I kept thinking how can you be a blessing for others? This led me to think of ways you can pay it forward and further your spiritual awakening?  I began to ask myself how can I become an action taker and make a positive difference. The answer was simple look to GOD and co-create opportunities to lift others up and show them that everything is possible. I have always subscribed to the belief that service to humanity is the best work of life and I begin my day with a question, how can I be of service and value today? I have adopted a few anthems along the way like Janet Lee Kraft’s Love Is The Highest Way and Tiffany Millander’s Awaken.

Spiritual Awakening: Changes In Lattitudes, Changes in Attitude!!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Changes in Latitudes,Changes in Attitude!!!

 Today’s  entry was inspired by Jimmy Buffet and his song, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.  As I listened to the song I realized all the spiritual references such as not looking back for to long, having the ability to laugh and then having the ability to move forward on our path to spiritual awakening.   Have you ever noticed that when you change your latitude that your attitude changes. Sometimes it can be as easy as moving a little forward or backward that we begin to see a different perspective on life. In many cases it is when we take responsibility for our attitude that we begin to realize that what is happening for us has nothing to do with others but with ourselves.

 It is when we decide to change that we truly begin to have a spiritual awakening. When we put the past behind and realize you can not change what has happened we begin to move forward in our spiritual development to have this spiritual awakening. In having a spiritual awakening we are better able to understand why certain things are occurring and why certain people react to us and our actions in a certain way. When we begin to understand that for this spiritual awakening to continue we must check our EGO at the door as EGO is Edging GOD Out. When you don’t have that relationship with GOD you begin to question everything and thus remain stuck and never change the latitude or the attitude.  It takes a great deal of courage to go deep inside yourself to have this spiritual awakening and to share what you have found as many may not be ready to explore their divinity and have their own spiritual wakening. You have the opportunity to find the answers that you seek as you begin to awaken spirituality more and more. It is when you make the commitment to follow the purpose that you have discovered through your spiritual awakening that you begin co-create the life that you desire. By remembering that all things are possible through GOD you will experience your spiritual awakening and be given the direction in order to be of service and value to yourself and others.

Each day as part of my spiritual awakening I read this book from Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses. Today Passage was about having GOD as my boss. It reminded me that the highest upon all high is GOD and GOD is who I shall listen to as GOD provides the messages to help me further my purpose and to understand this spiritual awakening process. I have come to realize that GOD doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle, GOD gives us what we can handle is an effort to season us and strengthen us so that we can shine our light for others to see so that they can watch what GOD is doing in our life and know GOD is working inn their life as well.

 As part of my spiritual awakening I have come to understand that GOD has enabled me to be awoken and has given me a mission to help other people excel. I have come to realize that the messages GOD sends are to be listened to and obeyed as GOD has a purpose for you and knows you will carry out that purpose. GOD may have to get angry with you so that you receive the message and act upon it and create a spiritual awakening for those you interact with.

 Every morning as part of my spiritual awakening ritual I read a passage from Mary Morrissey’s Book, The Miracle Minute.  In March of 2012 I had the opportunity to gift copies of her book to the attendees of The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards. Those that have utilized this book have definitely changed their latitude and thus changed their attitude thus furthering their spiritual awakening. Today the passage I read spoke of being a vision holder and encouraging others by supporting their vision. As I read the passage I was reminded  about the concept of being a lifter and thought how will I life someone today? The answer was simple by being an action taker and sharing this blog with others I am lifting the reader and helping them to have their spiritual awakening and to embrace their divinity.

 Today change your latitude change your attitude and you will begin to see the greatness that is in you. It is important to unleash that greatness and show others how you are shining your light and how your spiritual awakening is creating the life you desire. Remember, Stay Positive!

Spiritual Awakening: It’s My Life!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: It’s My Life!!!!

 
 Today’s entry is inspired by The John Bon Jovi Song It’s My Life. When I think of the concept of spiritual awakening I realize that the 1st step is to take ownership for who you are and what you do. As you begin to find who you are and what your purpose is you begin to create the life that you want for yourself. In the morning when you get up remind yourself that this is your life as it has been given to you by GOD.  As you give thanks to GOD for your life you set in motion circumstances that will place you in GOD’S favor. I begin each day by saying Today is The Day the Lord hat Made Be Glad and Rejoice In It. I then do a gratitude prayer thanking GOD for the life he has given me. I then ask GOD for direction and guidance for the day and I receive the answer and when I listen and obey the message the day flows and I feel great. The question for you is how do you honor GOD in your life.

   One aspect of leading the life that GOD has intended for you is to show joy, gratitude, and reverence in all the deeds you do as you shine your light. By following the messages and becoming an action taker you set in motion the events to manifest the life you desire. It is very possible to speak things into existence as your thoughts become actions that are directed by GOD. You may ask then why is it I have challenges in my life? The answer is for GOD is strengthening you so you can strengthen others. GOD never puts anything on your plate that you can not handle.  Recently I had a situation with my cell as I made the human decision not to get insurance on the phone and the battery swelled creating a major problem, the phone was out of warranty, instead of getting angry when the salesperson at Verizon couldn’t help me I calmly called customer service and explained the situation by the end of the call I had a new phone and only had to pay an upgrade fee. The first thing I did when I left the store was thank GOD and Jesus for helping me to stay calm and resolve the situation.  The next time a challenge arises stay calm and ask GOD for guidance and he will help you to come through it as he understands that it is your life.

Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Hall Of Fame!!!

 Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Hall Of Fame!!!

 

       As I watched the enshrinement into The NFL Hall Of Fame of Warren Sapp, Curley Culp, Cris Carter, Larry Allen, Bill Parcells, Dave Robinson, and Jonathan Ogden I began to see that each one of the inductees had a spiritual awakening of some sort that propelled them to greatness. As the ceremony ended I came up with the concept of The Spiritual Hall Of Fame.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding The Reason!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding The Reason!!!!

 

 
Today’s entry was inspired by Earth Wind and Fire’s song Reasons that was first released in 1975. As I listened to the lyrics I began to think of the age old spiritual awakening question of  Why Am I Here? I then remembered a saying about the two greatest days in a person’s life the day they are born and the day they discover why. In discovering why you are here you will begin to find what is bringing joy to your life and how you are bringing joy to other.  One of the best ways to find the reason is to ask GOD and look for what he is putting in front of you and how you are excelling then continue to focus on that.  I have discovered that my reason is to help other people excel as they continue on their path to spiritual awakening.  I have found that by using my talents for good that my reason is confirmed each time I interact with others. The key is to find a reason and then discover how that reason is of value and service to others.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools to Help You Find The Reason!!!

 

I use songs like Cliff Nobles, The Horse, and Terry Jacks, Seasons in The Sun to get centered and grounded and then I ask my question as Why Am I Here Today? God What Direction Are You Pointing Me In Today? I then seek signs and act upon them and most of the time it comes to a joyous celebration of the day. When you put joy in your heart and share that joy with others you will find the reason that you are here.

This song Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy is a great way to set the mood and remember that I am here to be of joy and to spread joy as I continue to help others on their path to a spiritual awakening.

Spiritual Awakening: Life Is A Coloring Book!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Life Is A Coloring Book!!!

 As I sat in Burger King with my FREE HUGS, STAY POSITIVE Sign I began to contemplate the fact that Life Is A Coloring Book, which led to the furthering of my own spiritual awakening. I began to look at the colors I decided to use on the sign and I realized that each had a meaning and that I was guided by source to use certain colors as I wrote the sign. I then chose to explore the meaning of colors and what it means to look at life as a coloring book. We can choose to stay with the lines and limit ourselves or we can color outside the lines and be limitless in all we do. We have the ability to color our own world and to shine our light in our own coloring book as we begin to awaken spiritually and explore the horizons that we see. When we take a moment to see GOD’S creations in this coloring book we begin to see the beauty that is all around us and with this recognition of beauty we also see the beauty in ourselves.  When we pick up our spiritual crayons and we begin to draw out our beauty we begin to find beauty in others and the world around us improves.  We may ask why did I choose the color car drive or the color of the walls in my home, or the colors that I like and now we know it is because life is a coloring book.

 In my coloring book I have a sign that I brought to life in hopes of inspiring people and touching their lives with a positive thought for the day.  Everyone’s coloring book will have different pictures that inspire and empower them to take action.  It was a big step for me to make this sign and bring it to life and share it in public as at first I was fearful about what people would think, then I took that deep breathe, meditated, and understood it doesn’t matter what other people will say. What matters is that I bring my coloring book to life and touch lives as I walk my spiritual path. It is in the journey in our coloring book that we begin to discover our authentic self and we then express ourselves by shining our light.

Spiritual Awakening: Living in Joy!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Living In Joy!!!

  Upon my spiritual awakening I learned that to live in joy one must express joy in all they do. Today in what was a great show of giving at The Kids of Love Mix and Mingle Event when Caleb, a child who is deaf and also has a lung disease and must eat through a  feeding tube was given a framed Miami Heat Championship poster many realized what living in joy was all about. This led to many of the attendees discussing what really mattered in life and that was living in joy and bringing joy to others.  Caleb was full of life and vibrant as he helped everyone, when someone dropped their cards he quickly picked them up and handed them to them. Caleb was able to read lips and when I gave him a thumbs up he gave me a thumbs up back. Seeing this joy propelled me through the day and will be drawn on when I seek to be re-centered and grounded. Caleb’s love of life was contagious and for a few minutes those in attendance forgot about business and profits and got in touch with their spirituality and divinity.  One of those in attendance mentioned how her church could help Kids of Love, www.kidsoflove.org. We spoke of divinity and what really matters at the end of the day is knowing you were of service and value and brought joy to your life and the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools For Living In Joy!!!

 Beethoven’s Ode To Joy is a great song to use as a tool for living in joy. Put it on and sit quietly with you eyes closed and think about that which has brought you joy. Then as you open your eyes write down three things you will do during the day to bring joy into the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Only The Beginning

Spiritual Awakening: Only The Beginning!!!

 

 The group Chicago delivers a message of spiritual awakening through their song Only The Beginning. Though the song speaks of a new beginning in a relationship the lyric can be applied to our spiritual awakening and the spiritual path that we are on as when you awaken spiritually it is a new beginning and when you continue on the path each step is like a new beginning. Another song that speaks of a beginning is The Carpenters, We’ve Only Just Begun.

The Carpenters remind us that when we awakening spiritually our relationship with GOD is a new beginning. As you strive to have that oneness consciousness with GOD it is important to remember each day is a new beginning and to realize it is the day the lord hath made so be glad and rejoice in it. By acknowledging your spiritual awakening and embracing your divinity you will begin to see that this is only the beginning. As you continue to evolve spiritually you will begin to receive and act on messages that will take you to heights that you never imagined. It is said that everything is possible through GOD and this is true as GOD lives in us and through us giving us messages to act upon and deliver to others. It is acknowledging that we have only just begun that we begin to set in motion the action that will propel us to our greatness. It is in recognizing your calling and beginning to act on that calling that you will co-create the life you desire.

Spiritual Awakening: Gaining Strength By Giving Back!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Gaining Strength By Giving Back!!!

 

      It was 24 years ago in Coral Springs, Florida when I first heard these words and they have become part of my spiritual awakening. When I joined The Jaycees in 1989 I never imagined that my years of service would mold me into an action taker and enhance my spiritual path. I remember a cold day in December of 1989 when The Coral Springs Jaycees gathered to take needy children holiday shopping and thinking wow we are making a positive impact on the lives of others. I continued my service with The Jaycees until July of 2002 when I left to become a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines. My service in the Philippines propelled me even further along my path of spiritual awakening. It was in The Philippines that I was able to truly understand the anthem of assume an attitude of gratitude. Upon my arrival back in The United States in February of 2003 I vowed to help other people excel. I quickly rejoined The Jaycees and helped to chair many projects. I began speaking at functions sharing the idea of being spiritually connected and staying positive.  The strength I gained by giving back has shown me that by embracing my divinity and shining my light I am making a positive difference in thieves of those I come in contact with. I have looked at all the awards I have won and I have realized that the wood rots, the metal tarnishes, but the memories last forever. I have had several spiritual awakenings while being of service and value. I have been awakened to a calling to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays and for the last 10 years have been dedicated to doing just that raising over $20,000 for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I have found that to be the change you want to see in the world you must take action and when spirit directs you do not question just take action. It is when you help others get what they want that you will get what you want and you will come alive and discover things that you never thought you were capable of doing and find that you are doing them.

 The strength you gain when you give back is amazing.  When you help your community you gain a sense of awakening as you recognize that one person, you are making a difference. Through service you gain strength as your relationship with GOD is strengthened and you begin to receive favor from GOD as you put other people before yourself. You begin to find your purpose and as you live your life on purpose you are rewarded.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding The Positive!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding The Positive!!!

 

 As I sat on the bench in prayer at the cemetery today paying respects to my mom who passed a year ago the message for this blog entry came to me in the words Finding The Positive. Through challenging times my mom would find ways to make me and my brother feel better about the situations we were facing. As I sat on the bench all the positive memories started to come back. There was a sense of joy and sadness at the same time. I looked to the heavens and thanked god for all the time he gave me to have with my mom. I thanked my mom for all the great times she gave me over the year. I then wen to my car and retrieved the stone I brought with me to symbolize that I was at the cemetery, I cleansed it in the fountain and then found a place to   place the stone and said a prayer. As I started the car I felt the presence of my mom telling me to stay positive.

prgrsvimg/th?id=H.4571521327170376&w=103&h=103&c=8&pid=3.1&qlt=90 As I left the cemetery I found it quite fitting that I would be driving in a thunder and lightning storm as my mom disliked driving in these storms. It was like a message saying I am with you. Instead of complaining I put on the windshield wipers, drove slow and thanked GOD for nurturing the earth and cooling things off. As I arrived at Starbucks the rain stopped. Shortly after while I was inside the heavens opened then a butterfly flew by my window. I believe that was my mom checking in and saying everything is all right.
