I have stated many times that at the end of the day all that matters is that you were true to yourself and honored GOD through your actions. This week I was tested a little when I did something that many would find unconventional as I reached out to a sponsor of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise, FL to be a guest on my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM. I thought as a business owner he would have like the fact that I reached out to him, BOY was I wrong he didn’t call me instead he called the Fundraising Lead for this Relay and complained. The Fundraising Lead then wrote to me and said I couldn’t solicit sponsors to be on my show. In me doing me I wrote back to her explaining that I had every right to invite people to be on my TV Show and that if the gentleman had an issue he should have called me. I was upset so I decided to take a few minutes and breathe and then meditate. The message I received in mediation was to do you. I have also come to realize that all you can do is do you and let others do themselves.
As I came out of mediation I remembered this teaching and realized that by me doing me I will encounter many that simply do not understand. I have always done things unconventionally and have had much success and thus as I evolve more and more in my personal, professional, and spiritual life I understand that not everyone is going to resonate with me and be a lifter. I have come to understand that when dealing with people on project you must understand where they are coming from and allow them to do themselves while you do you. I have come to realize that it is when you follow your heart and honor GOD and do you that everything work out in the end.
In many of the spiritual teachings there is one common truth that if you are truly to evolve spiritually you must let anything that no longer serves you go. You must take action to eliminate all things that block you form experiencing peace, love, joy, and prosperity in your life. In many cases it means moving on from jobs and activities that you thought were helping you but in reality were only hindering you. If you are to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually you must be committed to moving forward and not turning back. I have learned many important lessons over the last few weeks. One of those lessons was to truly research who you associating yourself with so as to avoid being taken advantage of in your personal and professional life. I have learned that if you do not value yourself no one else will and if someone doesn’t value you it is time to say to bad, so sad, don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you and then do not turn back. I have began to implement Don Miguel Ruiz’s Fifth Agreement and question everything. I have begun to peel back the onion and see things for what they are. I have also come to realize that there are many people who will claim to come from a spiritual base but in reality are only using the guise of spirituality to get over on others. I have also learned that when deciding to move on and not turn back it is goof to consult GOD, The Angels, and The Ascended Masters.
Whomever you have a spiritual relationship with call it GOD, Jesus, Spirit, Source, Jehovah, or anything else it is important to tap into your inner divinity and not look back once you have committed to let it go and not turn back. If we look forward and commit to living a righteous life and being of service and value we will see some divine changes in our life that will help to create a oneness consciousness that then allows us to shine our light and illuminate the world. Along the way there will be people who are not as evolved as you who will try to use you for your spiritual gifts not understanding that your spiritual gifts have value. There will be those who pretend to appreciate you but in reality they are only using you so it is important to discover this and eliminate these people as they will not be of service to you in your quest to be a global citizen of the world spreading peace, love, joy, and prosperity everywhere you go. Let these types of people go and don’t turn back.
As I sat down to write this blog entry today I reflected back on the last entry about shifting and how it affects us as we continue to develop our spirituality through our spiritual awakening. I then began to look at where I was and what I was doing and realized how many people were doing the same thing and what could I do to help them find the positive. I then started to reflect on the events of Friday january 25, 2013 and realized that the reason I was having dificulty in obtaining donations for The American Cancer Society is that I was putting the wrong energy out into the universe for it was not my place to point out to the gentleman at Dominick’s Pizza that he needs to understand that everyoen walking into his extablishment is a potential customerand that if he chooses to act the way he did then all I have to do is breathe and walk away. By understanding this I began to let go of the negative encounters and began to celebrate and remember the good encounters like the ladies at Today’s Hair and Nails for their warmth and support or Jason at Lindburgers who was open and receptive to the idea of helping with Relay for Life. I then realized instead of being disappointed with the Facebook Friends who I know personally who haven’t donated to be grateful and continue to thank those who did donate. As I further reflected I realized that it is the vibration that we give off on many ocaasions that we attract back to us. If we are disappointed more disappointment will be throust in our direction, however if we are grateful more will be given to us to be grateful for. I now look at all those no’s as getting closer to someone who will say yes and who will resonate with my message and want to support my efforts.
I decided to use Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs to illustrate that you deserve great things and that you are worth it. How many times have you offered a great service for what you believe to be a reasonable price and been asked why should I pay that? I always answer because I am worth it. Being a spiritual entrepreneur does not mean giving your talents away it means being of service and value and getting a reasonable exchange for your services and products. When you begin to tell yourself I am worth it you will begin to get paid what you value yourself at. I have learned in the last 2 years that if you do not put a high value on yourself and your talents noone else will. This was illustrated a few weeks ago when I was approached to do a voice over for a video and offered to do it for $100 and was told that they would find someone on fiverr, to which I replied go ahead, well guess what the video isn’t done and they are still searching for that inexpensive voice, when they could have had one of the best. The lesson I learned is stick to your guns as word will get out that you value yourself and you are worth it.
Babe Ruth was someone who understood his value as illustrated by hisanswer when asked why he shoud be making more money than the president? His answer because I had a better year than he did. Babe Ruth knew he was worth it.
