Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe – Spiritual Awakening

Spiritual Awakening: Only The Beginning!!!

Lao Tzu said the journey of 1,000 miles starts with the first step. As we set upon our journey of spiritual awakening we must understanding that the first step is only the beginning. Along our path we may find that special person that lifts us up and allows us to be our authentic self thus making us stronger. Sometime the words of gratitude needed to say to this person escapes us so a warm embrace is all we need to show our appreciation. Our journey must start with the the idea of gratitude. As the day begin think of what you are grateful for and look to the heavens and thank GOD for what you do have and what for what he is doing in your life. As you begin to understand that each day is a new beginning you will find yourself letting go of the past and thus you will continue to take action steps to move further along on your path of spiritual awakening. It is only the beginning of greater things to come.

As you begin your journey remember that you are a divine child of GOD and he has greater plans for you. When you feel like taking a rest take that rest but do not quit as the plans GOD has for you are greater than you can imagine and there are great things for you to do it. While you may encounter doubters leave no doubt that if you are following your heart and beginning that you will be rewarded for your efforts. I often state if you think it is hard to keep friends on social media think what Jesus must have experienced. There will always be those who doubt and there will also be those who lift you and believe in your mission. It is up to you to believe enough in yourself to take action and begin. As you begin to awaken more and more you will attract those that will support you and build you up while at the same time you will find it easier to let go of people and things that no longer serve you. Ask yourself what changes do I seek to make to answer the calling and begin to embrace my purpose. It is when you continue to work on furthering your purpose that you will begin to have clarity thus allowing you to make the mind, body, soul, connection that will create a oneness consciousness.

Spiritual Awakening: Nothing But A Dreamer??? What You Talking About Willis?

Supertramp talks about being a dreamer. Are your the dreamer or the action taker?

Spiritual Awakening: Nothing But A Dreamer? What You Talking About Willis

This post was inspired by The Supertramp Song, Dreamer as it talks aboit being a dreamer at first it condems the dreamer and then it embraces the idea of being a dreamer. I added the What You Talking About Willis from the TV Show, Different Strokes, so as to emphasize how important it is to believe in yourself and not let doubters hold you back. In his poem Hold Fast Your Dreams, Langston Hughes says:

I have used this on several occassions during presentations to illustrate the idea of having dreams. I am reminded of the final scene of The Movie Accepted when the character Bartlebee ask the question What Did You Want To Be? One of the Board Members answered a Flute Player I wanted to play the flute. I began to think why did the man who want to play the flute give up or never pursue it? The reason he bought into the adult mode that dreams are for kids. Dreams are for everyone and you should always encourage the dreamers for it is those that take action on their dreams that succeed and inspire to do the same. Louise Hay, The Founder of Hay House Publishing(an affiliate on this site), shared the follwing in a recent interview with Ray Hemachandra:

Louise Hay Shares insight into how her dream of Ballroom Dancing became a reality.

Ray Hemachandra: I am told you have taken up ballroom dancing.

Louise Hay: Yes, and it is something I started rather late, about two years ago. For whatever reason — for many reasons — I was always frightened of it. I kept saying things like, “I’ll do it in my next lifetime.” Then one day I thought, “That’s pretty stupid!”

I walked past a dance place, and they said, “We teach you to dance one step at a time,” and I thought, “I can do that!” So, I went in. I remember I held my breath the entire first lesson. But I kept going back. The self-help teacher talks about her books, her business, retirement, and the power of thought and word.

One day my teacher said to me, “Louise, I see the fear come into your eyes. Where is it coming from?” I couldn’t answer her, but when I went home, I thought about it. “Where is this coming from?” I thought. “Why am I so frightened of this?”

I got the answer. I felt that if I did it wrong, I was going to be slapped. I thought, “Oh, my, that goes back a long way, and I am still holding on to that!” And this understanding broke it for me.

I went back, and I told her what it was. When I realized what the problem was, that made a whole difference. And then, from there on, we had a lot of fun.
