Spiritual Awakening: Letting Your Greatness Shine!!!

Today’s blog entry was inspired by The Gallaudet University Football Team. Gallaudet University is a university specifically for the deaf and hearing impaired. I first learned of Gallaudet a few years ago when my cousin who is hearing impaired came to visit and she shred with me that Gallaudet has a football program. I was fascinated by the way they sent in the signals. I was so intrigued that I started to follow the team. Today (12/23/13) for the 1st time in the football program’s history they are playing in The Division III Playoffs against Hobart University. These 54 players and coaches inspired me to let my greatness shine and I hope that this entry will encourage you to continue on the path of spiritual awakening and let your greatness shine. may the Gallaudet Bison continue to inspire others to shine bright.

When I think of greatness I think of Muhamed Ali as he is known as The Greatest. Ali had a certain way of carrying himself that exuded confidence. Ali also had a very spiritual side to him. he changed his given name of Cascius Clay to Muhamed Ali and he stood up for his beliefs. He was so strong in his conviction that he refused to serve his country in Vietnam. Many people did not like this decision and it cost Ali many years as he was not allowed to box. he kept his faith and his boxing license was restored and he went on to win the Heavyweight Title on many occasions. Ali was a person who was awakened and enlightened spiritually. He serves as an example to all to stand their ground and be divinely guided with your decisions. Despite having Parkinson’s Disease he continues to make appearances and inspire others to let their greatness shine.

It was 50 years ago when John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. I was not born yet, however I studied Kennedy in school and when applying to colleges in 1983 American University asked as one of its essay questions, what day in history would you change and why. I chose 11/22/1963 because Kennedy was starting to bring our country together and helping people to have a spiritual awakening. Kennedy being the first Roman Catholic elected to the highest office in The United States Kennedy show many what having a strong faith can do for you. Kennedy also gave people permission to allow their greatness to shine bright as he encouraged people to look a t what they could do for their country. Kennedy also started The U.S. peace Corps in an effort to improve diplomatic relations with other countries. As a Returned U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer I can tell you that serving in The Philippines from July 2002 – February 2003 helped to develop a spiritual foundation that has allowed me to make positive changes in my life. It is using Kennedy’s example and answering the question of how can I be of service and value that we are able to find our calling and come alive. In coming alive we give others permission to let their greatness shine.

When I think of greatness and those who shined bright I think of Mother Teresa. The quote I chose is one of my favorites as we are all leaders in our own right and when we do things person to person we build a stronger community and allow for the community to come together and thus create positive emotions that allow for us to shine our greatness bright. Today we get so wrapped up in social media and judgment that we often loose out on the opportunities to interact with others and to create fellowship that is beneficial to everyone.

Spiritual Awakening: Let Your Greatness Flow!!!!

I have realized that I have this awesome voice for broadcasting and as a result have stepped into the greatness and utilized it for good. In allowing my greatness to flow I have secured a Public Address Announcing Position with The South Florida Gold of The American Basketball Association. Today(11/23/13) I was able to step into my greatness and utilize my talents for good as I recorded a voice mail for a business. The great part is that I was paid for my services. By getting paid for my services I was put in a position to be able help other people as I continue on my spiritual path to awakening and enlightenment.
