Spiritual Awakening: Putting Things In Perspective!!!
If you have visited the blog before you know that I am very active with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2021 marks my 24th year as a volunteer. In the past I want to be the #1 fundraiser for my local Relay For Life and now I want to be the #100 fundraiser because if I raise $1000 and 99 people do the same we raise $100,000 to help fund research, education, advocacy, and services. As I have been experiencing a spiritual awakening I have come to realize that it is important to put things into perspective. It is important to find your why which in my case for volunteering with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life my why is all the people that I have lost to cancer. In participating in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I am able to honor their memories and hopefully one day no one will have to hear the words you have cancer. In being passionate and outspoken about my involvement with The American Cancer Society I have encountered doubters, haters, and naysayers however I do not allow these encounters to get me down as I understand that not everyone will share my views and this is okay fort hose who my message resonates with will respond in a positive way.
One way I have learned to put things into perspective is to find ways to lift others up and to be of service and value in all that you do. This photo is from a seminar I conducted titled All You Have Tod Do Is Ask!!! The idea was to show people that they could achieve their goals by simply asking people for assistance. During the presentation I stated remember so will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. Prior to my presentation I was a bit disappointed as there wasn’t a big turn out. In the past I would have been upset but on that day I realized that those needing to hear the message were in attendance and I needed to give them an awesome presentation. In the end I received all types of accolades from the attendees. This woke me up further and reminded me to put things in perspective.
I hosted a TV Show, The Anything Bucket, on www.wrpbitv.com for a few years and am thankful to Wayne Filowitz who taught me valuable lessons of putting things into perspective. I would interview guests and off them an opportunity to purchase the clip from the show which if leveraged properly can be a very good marketing tool. I had many people say yes to being interviewed and buying their clip and I had many that said they didn’t want to be interviewed and yes there were those who didn’t buy their clip. I would spend hours wondering how people who claimed to be successful would turn down the opportunity to get their message out then one day I sat back and realized that not everyone is going to see the benefits of what you are offering. It again reminded me to put things into perspective.
Many times it is when we change the way we look at things by coming from a spiritual perspective we begin to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. When we look at the times we felt connected to GOD and the times we felt disconnected we will see a vast difference in how things unfolded in our life. It is when we stay connected to GOD, Jesus, Source, Spirit, The Ascended Masters, and our Angels that we can see things clearly and thus put things into perspective so that we can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. Along the way we will will have challenges however if we put things into perspective and face everything and rise we will be stronger and triumphant. It is understanding that we have a power to change our perspective and to look at things in a way that we never did before. It is when we see things from different angles that we can see everything through each other’s eyes.
It is when we begin to change perspective that we can begin to work it out and start to bring bliss and abundance into our life and into the lives of others. It is when we begin to have a clear vison of our purpose that we can put things into perspective and begin to be of service to one another. Many times it is not about being right or wrong it is about doing the right thing.
Today is the day for you to gain clarity and perspective.
When I am in alignment with these teachings I tend to be a bit happier than when I forget to practice these teachings. I have learned over time through the spiritual awakening process that there will be people who say they are going to do something and do not so you accept that fact and love them anyway. As long as you do what you believe is right in your heart and divinely directed you can achieve your inner happiness that will allow you to share outer happiness. 
When I first heard about The South Florida Gold last year I called and auditioned to be their Public Address Announcer and I was hired. 
Many times during my spiritual awakening process I have been asked this question as I tend to look at people and smile. It is part of my outgoing personality and many times people do not know how to react to a stranger smiling at them. Instead of being cordial and saying hello they will become aggressive and I answer I was looking at you and sending positive energy to you. Most times this combats the initial negative energy that this question conjures up. Sometimes in taking action and stepping into our power we will encounter those who have not accepted the idea of being on a spiritual journey and thus don’t get it. Many people feel they are being judged or don’t realize that what they are wearing might peak the interest of others.
