Spiritual Awakening: The Impossible Dream!!!
How many times have you stated your intentions during your spiritual awakening only to be told oh that is a pipe dream or that is an impossible dream? How many times have you given in to your own fears or the thoughts of others only to think what might have been or what could have been? It is at times like this that we must summon our own inner Don Quixote and get in tune with our own divinity so that we can pursue what many may consider an impossible dream.
How many times have you not take a shot because you thought you might miss it only to realize that if you take the shot there is a 50% chance that you will make it. I remember hearing on the radio an interview about The Lingerie Football League, now Legends Football league. I thought it would be great to be a PA Announcer for the local team, The Miami Caliente, so I looked up the league and contacted them about The PA Announcer Position. They Responded and I did an audition on the phone and I was hired. The first night was like a dream come true as I sat in the announcing area of this big arena and I had my own dressing room. I did the game and was paid for it and then invited to do other games and Lingerie Bowl 7. It was something deep inside that told me to go for it and ignore the naysayers and the doubters. As a result of this successful experience I have learned to chase the impossible dream and to continue to put myself out there. I have learned through taking action that most of the time you obtain desirable results. The dream has run across some obstacles like a team hiring me for 4 games and only using me for 1 or a team hiring me and then not paying me, however I have learnt from each experience and I keep moving forward in the positive direction of my dreams.
As I emceed The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Coral Springs I witnessed many opportunities that opened up the inspirational funnel. This particular moment was when Kids of Love honored Aaron who was celebrating his 6th birthday. Aaron is a cancer survivor and when he took the microphone and said “Hello, I love you,” to the crowd you could feel the inspiration that he exuded. Through out the night seeing his smile and all the survivors kept the participants inspired to keep walking as they celebrated those who have survived cancer, remembered those lost to cancer, and fought back by raising funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. As of Saturday morning over $129,000 was raised.
