Spiritual Awakening: Waking People Up!!!
As I continue to travel on my spiritual path I have come across many people that need to wake up. Regular readers of this blog know my passion for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and how I am always armed with facts and figures to help people wake up. Today (12/16/2017) I was out promoting Relay For Life and I had a gentleman say I put $1 in the canister and only $.25 (25 cents) goes to the people that need it. I explained that he was mistaken as 96% of each dollar raised goes to research, education, advocacy, and services. I also explained that I was a volunteer and that I do this to honor the memory of those taken by cancer including my mom who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack while battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer. His reply I do my own thing. I said thank you GOD bless you and I left. I share this with you to educate you so you have the facts thus you can be aware and awake to the truth. In another instance today I went to The Pizza Hut in my community where I was a loyal customer and I encountered a General Manager who immediately blew me off say I had to go through their main office. I was a bit taken about by this as one would think that a General Manager would be empowered to make a donation of 10 pizzas for an event that was 4 months away. I left thinking wow people need to wake up and find more kindness. I went to my car and remembered that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. As I drove over to Starbucks to write this entry I also remembered that is not my job to drag people kicking and screaming onto the path but instead to shine my light so bright that it illuminates the world and gives people permission to wake up. As I sat down to write this blog I was reminded that if I can not do big things to do small things with great love. I realized that b be caring and kind I would be able to shine my light and thus create a change in the world as I woke more people up..
We need to understand that it is our responsibility to carry ourselves in a way in which peace, love, joy, and prosperity are exuded from us so that we raise the collective consciousness of those we encounter so that they will become awakened. It is important to understand that not everyone is as evolved spiritually as we may be and may not share the same passion that we share thus we must find common ground. It is out responsibility as evolving beings to make sure that we meet people where they are and do our best to lift them so that they can become the strong beings that they are.
