Spiritual Awakening: Be A Dreamer!
Today as I was doing a Facebook live video I stated that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe you can achieve. As I finished the video I kept thinking about the message that I wanted to deliver today and it hit me Be A Dreamer. As I continue to awaken spiritually I realize that if you can dream it you can become it. I believe that many people are afraid to go after their dreams because they worry about what can go wrong. To those with this mindset I recommend you become a dreamer and think about what can go right and celebrate the successes along the way while learning from the set backs. One thing that can help you to become a dreamer is to have the serenity prayer visible somewhere that you will see it daily.
When you become a dreamer and you start to see things differently and take action you begin to put in motion all things necessary to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when you begin to dream and write down your dreams so that you can plan the work and work the plan making adjustments along the way that you will attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. Many times it is as simple as taking action and following your heart that allows dreams to come true. I remember it was January of 2002 and I was out of work and thinking what has my life become and feeling inadequate and disconnected so I decided to do something that I had wanted to do for a long time I applied to become a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. A few days later I did a phone interview and in April I received a letter and a packet from The U.S. Peace Corps inviting me to be a volunteer in The Philippines. I accepted and began to make the arrangements to serve as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. Everything worked out as my lease was up at the end of May and I would be traveling to the staging site at that time. It had been a dream of mine to go to The Philippines and this was a way to make it happen. I served as Volunteer in Bauang La Union at a Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth where I taught English, Math, and Livelihood Skills. I have some fond memories of serving from July 2002 until February 2003. Upon my return I reconnected with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and I still participate in this great event to help people overcome the challenges they face when diagnosed with cancer hoping to help them make their dreams come true. Through out the spiritual awakening process I have had many of my dreams come true that today serve as fuel to continue to be of service and value to others.
Now is your time to put your passion into action and find success by following your dreams. It is your time to shine bright and illuminate the world by taking action to turn your dreams into reality. Over the last few years I have many of my dreams fulfilled. I attribute this to being connected to GOD, Jesus, Source, and Spirit as I put myself out there committing to use my talents for good. In 2018 and again 2020 I was the announcer for The State Champion Football Team at Cardinal Gibbons High School. It was always my dream to be part of a championship season and I have been part of 2 and will cherish the memories forever and they will fuel me to become even better at my craft.
Look at things that may not have been done before and take action to bring them to fruition. I remember sitting in a Coral Springs Jaycees Meeting in 1989 and they were discussing cancelling a project to feed needy families and take needy children on a holiday shopping spree. I stood up and said what about collecting donations and they said we never did that before. I said so let’s start. In the next few weeks I started to call businesses that I had dealt with and told them what The Jaycees were looking to do and the response was amazing and in the end we ran The Spreading The Joy Project and fed 30 needy families and took 65 children holiday shopping all because I was a dreamer who took action. Now is your turn to be a dreamer and to take action to make those dreams come true. Do not allow doubters, haters, or naysayers to hold you back. Stay Positive Today. Namaste!!!
The last few weeks have proven to be challenging as my own missteps have set me back and tested me. In learning from these set backs I have come to understand that you can not fight the feelings that you can only accept them and work through them. I have come to realize that I can only control my actions and that what other people do is not my problem even if their actions adversely affect me. I can choose to be angry and lower my vibration bringing more negativity into my life or I can turn the page and move on. The idea is not to fight the feeling but to recognize the feeling and work through it by remembering the spiritual teachings and understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is when we embrace the feelings and the challenges that are placed in our path that we are able to become action takers and come up with a solution that will make things better in our personal, professional, and spiritual life.
As my old lap top became difficult to use I made a decision to buy a new one. Unfortunately there was a communication breakdown with the salesperson and many of my files of the old lap top were not transferred. At first I was upset then I took a deep breath and realized though it may take time to move the files I will get them moved and thus be able to continue on my mission to be of service and value to others. As I consulted with the ascended masters and embraced the spiritual awakening I realized that it is important to answer my calling and follow the directions of GOD and simply move on in a positive direction toward my goals. As my new lap top came alive I found myself coming alive and being in a better place as I now had the tool I needed to promote the idea of planting the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer. I was now given the opportunity to make the changes that I needed to make to be of service and value to my community. As my emotions ran the gamut of the emotional vibration field I realized that I had a choice I could be upset with the financial position I was in and where my life was or I could be grateful that I had the money to get a new lap top. I chose to be grateful and it changed my whole outlook.
