Spiritual Awakening: Something To Believe In!!!
It is good to believe in yourself but it is better to know that someone believes in you. As you go through the spiritual awakening it is important to have something to believe in that drives you to grow personally. professionally, and spiritually allowing you to seize the day. If you have something that you are passion about and you take action you will find success as you have something to believe in. Ask yourself what do I have to believe in as I journey along my spiritual path.
The newsies believed in fighting for better wages and working conditions and they united in the effort and seized the day and through some trials and tribulations they eventually got what they wanted. The newsie are a fantastic example of what can happen when you take action and have something to believe in. It is when you awaken and follow your calling that you enhance your life and the lives of others. My quest to be of service and value to others started at the age of 11 when I hosted a backyard carnival to benefit The Muscular Dystrophy Association. It was through this event that I realized that my core belief system would be to show people that service to humanity is the best work of life. Through out my high school and college years I was involved in many community service projects and I learned that when you believe in causes and become laser focused you begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In 1989 I joined The Jaycees (Junior Chamber Of Commerce) and I was introduced to The Jaycees Creed which has become an integral part of my belief system.
Through the many Jaycees Projects and the leadership training I received I was able to have something to believe in thus allowing me to continue to move in a positive direction of my dreams. The Jaycees opened up many doors and gave me the confidence to apply to be a member of The U.S. Peace Corps. I applied to be a member of The U.S. Peace Corps and in June of 2002 I was on a plane to be part of The U.S. Peace Corps Philippines. I was with The U.S. Peace Corps until I returned to The U.S. in February 0f 2003 as I had some medical issues. The U.S. Peace Corps taught me to believe that I could continue to make a difference and that I could break down some barriers that may be holding people back from reaching their full potential. Since my return from the U.S. Peace Corps I have been focused on helping people with cancer through my participation in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life as I believe in helping other people excel. I have had some great experiences as I have always had something to believe in. I have been knocked down a few times and have encountered doubters, haters, and naysayers but I have always believed that GOD’S Plan is far greater than the plan I have for myself. I have come to understand that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe you can achieve.
I believe that when you have an attitude of gratitude you will reach an altitude that exceeds your expectations. Gratitude is an incredible tool for it allow us to increase our vibrations thus attracting the resources needed to create the life that we desire. I have come to realize that when you understand that this is the day that the lord hath made and to be glad glad and rejoice in it that you are able to overcome challenges by facing everything and rising. In believing that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it you will experience triumph over adversity. When you have something to believe in you find yourself excelling by finding something to believe in.
I know for many of you the last 14 months have been a challenge however I am here to tell you things get easier and if you continue to believe in yourself and you use your talents for good you will find yourself attracting bliss and abundance into your life. When you have something to believe in you will find that everything begins to fall into place just as GOD has intended. One of the teachings that has helped me to continue on my quest to be the best version of myself and to walk in my truth has been The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
May your beliefs allow you to step into your power and achieve greatness. Namaste!!!
