Spiritual Awakening: Honoring Your Commitments!!!!
When the day of judgment comes and it will come for us all the one thing we will evaluated on is did we honor our commitments. On Sunday 3/23/14 I traveled to Riveria Beach to announce a basketball game for The Palm Beach Pelicans of The Central Basketball League. I did the game and was told I did an excellent job I asked the owner for payment and he told me to wait a minute and I said okay. I was at the concessions area so I couldn’t be missed. He left without paying me and when I confronted him about this he gave me a story about having to take a player to the airport. I said okay come by the WRPBiTV Studios in Boca on Tuesday and drop off the $150 that you promised to pay me. He didn’t show so I asked him again for payment and asked him to come by the studio on Thursday. Thursday came and still no money. I wrote to him and said you have left me no choice but to take this public. He then said you would take this public I said I was going to pay you. I then thought wow here is someone who professes to own The Central Basketball League and The Palm Beach Pelicans but hasn’t honored his commitment to pay me the $150 that is owed to me. The said part about the situation is that on my way home from the game one of my tires blew out and the $150 would have come in handy to replace the tire and have my oil changed. I was also planning on donating $15 from the $150 to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I have learned that not everyone you meet will be as spiritually awake and aware as you are and that not everyone will honor their commitments. When thus happens you have to look at the lesson that was learned and decide what measures to take so others do not get taken advantage of when dealing with this person. I have prayed that the owner of The Palm Beach Pelicans sees the error in his ways and begins to honor his commitments. In taking the action to share this story it is my intention to help those on a spiritual path to protect themselves and make sure people are honoring their commitments.
In the spiritual awakening process one discovers that the only thing that endures is your character. A coach of mine Shantel Smith taught me that how you do anything is how you do everything and this is so true as you can observe people and see how they act and if they honor commitments and if they do not you know that you are not matching up vibrationally or spiritually and that you may just need to move on and not work with that person as they no longer serve you. Sometimes character is revealed in the height of adversity for one who is willing to sacrifice to honor a commitment is the person you want to work with.
Though my experience with The Palm Beach Pelicans was a dark experience I was able to see the stars and realize that GOD has a better opportunity in line for me. I learned that sometimes it is when things seem the darkest that a breakthrough is on the horizon. I have learned just how important it is to honor your commitments so that when that day of judgment comes your accounts will be all square. I have learned that one oh crap will ruin a thousand at a boys. I have gained insight into my own spirituality and divinity and have committed to walk in my truth and shine my light understanding that everything works out in the end. In the case with The Palm Beach Pelicans it wasn’t about the $150 it was the principle involved as I performed a service and should have been paid upon the provision of those services. I am confident that GOD will provide other ways for me to recoup the $150 and that this was his way of telling me to be careful who I choose to work with in the future.
One key component in the spiritual awakening process is to be authentic in what you say and what you do. In honoring commitments to others, honoring the commitment to GOD, and the commitment you made to your self to be of service and value you will begin to come alive and be rewarded. In honoring commitments you will feel connected in mind, body, and soul and be able to stay positive. Namaste!!!
