Spiritual Awakening: Be Bold And Take Off!!!
Today’s entry is inspired by Steve Miller’s Song Jet Airliner as he describes moving on to pursue his dream. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to be bold and fully committed so that you can take off. Many times we find ourselves pulled back into the situations that we were seeking to leave behind. Sometimes it is the fear of the unknown that holds us back. Then one day we decide we are going to face everything and rise and we propel ourselves forward and we begin to truly soar. It is understanding our spiritual calling and becoming aware and awake that we are able to become an action taker and create the life we seek for ourselves. One thing that has helped me to be bold and takeoff has been to adopt anthems that keep me on my spiritual path and help me to embrace my own divinity. In moving forward and being bold we become more awake and thus we are able to answer our calling. In answering our calling we are able to move forward in the direction of our dreams and make changes in our personal and professional lives. In coming alive and awakening we begin to further understand that the level we vibrate on and the resonance and energy that we give off begins to be seen by others and thus the world becomes a better place. When we are bold we begin to take off and our community is better served because we take action to improve our life and the lives of those around us. I have often stated it is when we think globally and act locally that we truly take off.
In many cases you need to board a plane and take off to pursue your dreams. I interviewed Jake Ducey, Author of Into The Wind, recently and he spoke of his bold step to travel 1/2 way around the world and go with the flow. He states as a result he found himself and his calling. I personally served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines from July 2002 until February 2003. It was in making this bold move and boarding the plane that I was able to experience personal and professional growth. In the six months that I served I learned a lot about myself. On my 16 hour trip back to The United States I was able to do much introspection and was able to understand that my calling was to help other people excel. It was in making a bold move that I was able to takeoff.
Spiritual Awakening: What Is Your Calling?
What thoughts are you watering to create positivity? We can wake up every morning and look at the negatives or we can choose to do something and change them to positives. Imagine if today a newscaster said breaking news 90% of Americans are employed, 88% of property owners are paying their mortgage on time, or 89% of all high school students are graduating, the change in attitude and the positive shift that would occur. Shifting from a gloom and doom, if it bleads it leads mentatlity to the concept of positivitity is going to take a conscience effort for people to become advocates for positivity. It was written if you think you can or you think you can’t you are right. It is a lot better when you adopt The I think I can attitude. You are a special person who can do anything you put your to. As Napolean Hill stated what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. How many times have you had an idea to become an advocate for positivity and something held you back? It could have been the memory of someone saying you aren’t good enough that you haven’t released and said to yourself I am good enough and I am going to move forward in a positive direction and whatever happens happens.
I saw this quote and I immediately thought of the people that will be honored on Saturday 3/24/12 at The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards and how they are lifting up the people in the communities where they live, work and play. Each honoree has an amazing story and by attending the event you will have a chance to meet them and be inspired by them and be lifted by the experience. When we lift up others we also lift ourselves for we celebrate life by lifting people up. Think about it after a big football game the winning team usually carries a coach off the field on their shoulders. I am figuratively lifing our honorees up on my shoulders to show tem respect and admiration.
