In our life from the cradle to the grave we will have many opportunities to plug in our adaptor so as to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Along our spiritual path there will be many obstacles for us to overcome and how we adapt to overcoming these challenges will develop us by allowing us to face everything and rise. There will be many things that we can not control which will make us understand that the way things are and the way things should be are two different things. It is when we are faced with adversity that we must plug in our adaptor and tap into our inner divinity so as to create and manifest a favorable outcome. Many times the outcome may not be the one we wanted however in accepting it and moving on we grow and become more and more spiritually aware. Many times our disappointments create the fuel we need to dust ourselves off and rise above all that we are facing. LIfe is going to through us some curve balls and that is when you need to plug in your adaptor and understand that you are a divine child of GOD who has a purpose on this earth. We all have many different adaptors. Mine is a sense of humor and the spiritual teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz. My biggest adaptor is The Four Agreements.
When things aren’t going my way I remember these four agreements and I reconnect with GOD, Jesus, Source, Spirit, The Angels, and Ascended Masters so as to stay focused and to remain centered and grounded. Over the years through the spiritual awakening process I have learned to follow my calling and to be heart centered in all I do so as to come alive and be of service and value to the community thus allowing me to plug in my adaptor and detach from expectations. If at the end of each day we can say today I plugged in my adaptor and as a result I had a day filled with joy and I brought joy to others we will have had a great day. Yes somedays will be more challenging that others however if we plug in our adaptor we can face it all and become a better version of ourselves.
When we plug in our adaptors we become overcomers. When things seem to go of the rails we must find a way to get them back on track so as to move fluidly to our next destination. On April 12,2021 I mailed a letter and it still hasn’t been received by the recipient. I am upset because the letter also included a money order for $27.01 for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Instead of getting angry I took a deep breath and then went online to file a lost letter inquiry. I then realized next time I am sending a check or money order anywhere to send it certified thus I can lessen the burden of worrying if it got there or not. Through adversity we are able to become overcomers and learn valuable lessons along the way as we continue to become more aware and awake. I also us the serenity prayer as an adaptor so that the moments where I get upset are fleeting.
It is when I sit in reflection that I learn to adapt and overcome. I can not control what others may do but I can change what I do and how I react to things as I plug in my adaptor. There was a time I would debate about everything now I simple disengage politely as I have have come to learn that arguing is like wrestling a pig in the mud you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. As I continue to make adjustments I realize that the best way to plug in my adaptor is to be the best version of myself and to leave people in a better position than I found them. I have come to understand that I may not resonate with everyone but those meant to hear my message and support my projects will be brought to me as long as I am being heart centered and guided by GOD. If you do not like the way things are going find a way you can change so as to improve how things are going. Sometimes it is just necessary to go with the flow and vibrate at a high level so as to attract the people and resources needed to create the life you desire.
When things seem difficult and challenging and you want to quit simply turn to the scriptures and find the answers that you are seeking during the spiritual awakening process and keep on walking your truth. It is when we stand tall and walk in our truth that we are able to shine our light the brightest and illuminate the world. Yes there will be challenges that come along the way however remember that if GOD brought you to it GOD will be you through it so keep walking. When you reflect back on what has happened for you realize that GOD has been with you every step of the way and his plan is far greater that yours.
It is when GOD carries us that we find strength and that we are able to tap into our inner divinity so that we can stay connected and continue to grow personally, professionally, and spirituality. It is when we decide to continue to walk in our truth that we discover just how powerful we are as we make a positive impact on the lives that we come in contact with while traveling along our spiritual path. I have learned through the spiritual awakening process that in this life there are action takers and there are excuse makers and it is those who take action that find enlightenment. When we continue to walk with GOD we become stronger and thus we can show everyone that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations and that service to humanity is the best work of life.
I have come to learn that JESUS will strengthen me and everything will improve and it will all work out in the end. I have come to understand that those meant to walk with you will join you and lift you as they realize that we are all divine children of GOD and that GOD wants us to prosper so we can prosper others. Over the last few years with my involvement with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I have done what I refer to faith walks where I carry a collection bucket in one hand and a Bible in the other. I remember one day I was doing a faith walk and I walked into a restaurant to ask for donations and someone aske what book are you reading. I answered The Bible. They said you have a powerful weapon there so I must donate. We sat and spoke for a few minutes and then prayed for each other. I continue to walk these faith walks because we all need to come together and realize that we all bleed the same.
As we walk along our spiritual path let us make peace, love, and understanding a priority so that we can come together and create bliss and abundance everywhere that we may travel. Let us all continue to walk in our truth so that we can bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into out lives and into the lives of others. When things are getting tough and you feel like you can’t go on rest if you must but don’t you quit.
It is when we walk in our truth and face everything and rise that we will create breakthroughs and clear blockages that may be stopping us from reaching our full potential. I remember a time I wanted to stop walking in The March Of Dimes 20 KM WALK- A- THON. I was about a mile away from the finish line and my feet were burning and my knees were aching. I dropped to my knees and I stopped for a while and then I felt a power come over me that brought me to my feet and at the moment I started walking a little faster and with about 50 yards to go I started to sprint. I crossed that finish line and all I could think of to say was Thank You GOD. I collapsed and was taken to a massage table and they checked me out and gave me a massage and then quickly ushered me to the food and beverage area. They made sure I was okay. On the ride home all I could think of was how I did not quit. It was on that day that I learned that it is important to finish what you started and that you may get knocked down but it is not how many times you get knocked down but how many times you get back up. Now is your time to keep walking in your truth and not allow anything to break your stride today. Namaste!!!
As I awoke today I sat in meditation and the message that kept running through my brain was that it was time to change the approach to the way that we do things. This brought me back to the days when I was bowling in tournaments and how many times I had to make adjustments on what is referred to as the approach. There were times I had to move left or right, up or down, and times when I had to shorten or lengthen my steps. Many times these adjustments were the difference between a strike or having to throw a spare attempt. There were times that I made the correct adjustments that led to a win and then there were times that I waited to long to make the adjustment which led to a less that desirable outcome. As I look back on the bowling experiences I realize that they mimic our spiritual journey as we have to adjust and adapt to the lessons we are learning as we delve into our inner divinity and discover the power and the talents that we have to unleash. Through out the spiritual awakening process I have come to realize that changing the approach is the best way to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. If we are to evolve and use our talents for good we must realize that a change is going to come.
With all the unrest and fear that seems to be gripping our country right now we must change our approach so as to shift the paradigm from division to unification. Now is the time to change and make peace, love, and understanding a priority in our daily lives. We need to keep kindness and compassion on the top of our minds and make an effort to share stories that are uplifting and empowering. Imagine turning on the news and seeing stories of communities coming together for events like a community clean up, a park build, Relay For Life, Walk to End Alzheimer’s, food drives, and a community barbeque. I know of one media outlet that only covers good positive news, www.thehappyherald.com which decided to change the approach to what to print and as a result reaches over a 1/4 million readers each month. We have the power to make a change and it starts with all of us leaning on each other and recognizing that we are divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to prosper so that we can prosper others.
Each time I hear this song I am reminded of a principal who took drastic measures to change the approach of how his school was being run and as a result to that change graduation rates went up. Many chastised his methods and even tried to shut him down but he persevered and made a few adjustments and as a result positively impacted the lives of his students, parents, and teachers. Think about the way you are doing things and the way you are approaching those things and then keep what is working for you and change that which is not working for you. As you change your approach you will find that you start to eliminate that which no longer serves you and thus you are able to make the changes necessary to attract peace, love, joy, and abundance into your life. It is now your season to make a change.
It is your time to shine your light and illuminate the world by changing your approach. You are a powerful being who can do great things simply by understanding that you are limitless. Now is the moment where you face everything and rise by planning your work and working your plan making changes along the way that allow you to make a mind, body, and spirit connection. You may not go back to change the past but you can change your approach and create a different ending. It is time to peel back the onion and see what is inside of you so that you can continue along your spiritual path and move in a positive direction of your goals. It is when you truly commit to changing your approach that you set in motion the resources needed to manifest the life that you desire. May you change your approach and change your life.
It is when we change our mindset that we can change our circumstances. It is through our actions that we are able to be of service and value to others thus bringing bliss and abundance into our lives. Today is your day to start changing your approach. Stay Positive!!! Namaste!!!
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!!!
As you turn on the news lately you will see many negative stories that seem like they are dividing us however I am sure that better days are coming. To make better days come we must get back to making peace, love, and understanding a priority in our daily lives. It is time to look for the good in people we come in contact with and do what we can to be lifters so as to create better days. Now is the time to look deep inside ourselves and tap into our inner divinity and unleash our talents for the betterment of the communities where we live, work, and play. We must get back to respecting people and treating either with dignity and respect. It is time to turn to GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, The Angels, Spirit, and Source and take action upon the messages that are being sent to us to help other people excel by being of service and value to one another. It is time to seek ways to improve your life and the lives of others. The time is now for your to awaken spiritually so as to enhance your personal and professional life. When things seem the darkest that is when a breakthrough is about to happen so remember if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring your through it. Instead of watching the news and seeing the negative look for ways to be positive and spread positivism. Each day is a new day that GOD has made so be glad and rejoice in it by committing to make the day a better.
If we are to create better days we need to live a purpose driven and forgive ourselves and others who may have created blockages in our life. I have come to realize that yesterday is gone and tomorrow may not come and that is why they call today the present. We can not erase the past but we can learn from it and move forward in a positive direction of our dream and create better days. We may not be able to predict the future but we can plan for it so that we insure for better days. The main ingredient to creating better days is to focus on the present and do the best we can with the tools we have now and to hone our skills so that we can be a force for good. In the last 13 months I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have had many a moment to reflect and each time I sat in meditation there was a constant message that better days will come if you take action.
When we vibrate at a high level seeking better days we begin to attract the resources needed to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. When we get back to being connected to GOD we are guided toward better days. When we become heart centered and driven by purpose we create better days. The other day I went out collecting donation for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life as I am committed to creating better days for those touched by cancer. As I was collecting donations I ran into those who were supportive and those who questioned what I was doing. In the past I would have been upset by those who questioned my integrity but now I simply thanked them for their time and moved on because I know there will be better days. I have come to understand that my message and my choice of charity may not resonate with everyone but those meant to hear the message and support the charity will be brought forward to help create better days. I have come to learn that some will, some, won’t, some waiting. so what, next is a great philosophy to have when creating better days for it is imperative that you surround yourself with those who support your efforts and lift you up in your quest to evolve spiritually.
Now is your turn to be better than yesterday. Today is your day to put the doubters, the haters, and the naysayers aside and create better days because you have greatness inside you that was meant to be shared with others. Now is your time to meet your challenges and to face everything and rise for you were meant to create a legacy that leads to better days. Remember it is not about how many times you get knocked down it is about how many times you get back up. You deserve better days. Namaste!!!
Spiritual Awakening: Persistence Breaks Down The Resistance!
Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to learn that persistence breaks down the resistance. I have come to understand that when you plan your work and work your plan with consistency that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have come to realize that you may lose a few people along the way because of being persistent however those meant to help and support you and resonate with your message will be attracted to you when GOD deems it necessary to place them along your path.
Over the years there have been times when I wanted to quit because things were not going well however I pushed through with persistence and as a result was able to continue to be of service and value to others. The moment I took action to bring projects to fruition I knew that persistence would be a key ingredient. Many times I simply needed to sit down in meditation and consul with the Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels and the answers I was seeking were given to me so I could continue to awaken and as a result attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. It was when I came alive and decided to make changes in my life that I was able to persist in answering my calling thus giving me the opportunity to help my community. In being persistent and walking in your truth you will find that you clear blockages that may be stopping yourself from achieving the greatness that is your birthright.
2020 Gave us all several challenges as it seemed as though our world has been turned upside down however it was those who were persistent and adapted that found success. 2021 has given us a few more challenges and to overcome these challenges it will take persistence and a commit to be the best version of ourselves as possible. We need to be persistent in our quest to lift others so that they will realize they are divine children of GOD and GOD wants them to prosper so they can prosper others. We must be consistent in the effort to realize that we as humans are more alike than different. The time have come for us to set goals and be persistent in achieving them. We need to be persistent in showing kindness and compassion and making sure people see the good that is going on in their communities. Instead of arguing we need to be persistent in uniting and recognizing each others divinity. It is time to realize that we are all unique and that we need to embrace that uniqueness and find ways to respect one another and make our communities a better place.
Now is our time to persist in recognizing that we are people destined to bring bliss and abundance into our lives and into the lives of others. It is the season to make peace, love, and understanding a priority. It is time to persist in being respectful to each other even though we may have different views. It is time to come together and unite by being persistent in doing random acts of kindness. It is time to flood Social Media with good news and build each other up so we can build stronger communities. We can not allow anything to stop us from spreading peace, love, joy, and prosperity wherever we may go.
Now is your time to find someone to help you in your persistence to improve your life and the lives of others. It is our time to show the world that persistence breaks down the resistance. You are going to encounter doubters, haters, and naysayers so simply hold a special place for them and be persistent in finding the lifters and the supporters. You will find that when you are persistent you will find the help to turn your limiting beliefs into limitless beliefs. I remember when I told people that I wanted to be a PA Announcer and many said I couldn’t do that because I had no formal training instead I became persistent and any time I had a chance to announce a game I took it. I began to hone my craft to the point where I was confident to reach out to teams and leagues and offer my services. In being persistent I have had the opportunity to work with some great people and have formed a reputation as one of the top PA Announcers in my area. It is when you are persistent that you break down the resistance. Don’t give up continue on your spiritual path. Namaste!!!
As I was going through photographs I began to reflect and realized that a spiritual awakening can be evoked simply by the memories that a photograph represents. Here I am am in The Philippines as A U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. This photo brings back memories of joy of knowing that I was being of service and value to others. At first I was a bit timid but I took a deep breath and knew I would be okay as the owner of the Caribou was very close. Yes those are rice fields that you see in the background and yes I did help to harvest the rice. The process of harvesting the rice taught me patience and brought me a sense of accomplishment as I would help to bag the rice and sell it at the dry market. It was at the dry market that I realized just how important it is to be centered, focused, and grounded.
Here I am receiving The Munford Johnson Community Service Award from The SAKE Committee of The City Of Lauderhill. In my acceptance speech I spoke about holding fast to your dreams. I remember afterwards one of the commissioners coming up to me and telling me how I was a good orator. This award was earned because I took action and committed to helping other people excel by showing that passion + action = success. Success is measured in many ways some measure it in materialistic accomplishments others measure it in lives touched. Being part of The SAKE Awards that night showed me the importance of coming from a spiritual base.
Is is when we go through old photographs that we are able to reflect and pause for a moment to be grateful for the memories that were created. As we continue along our spiritual path we will have many opportunities to create special moments in time and to relish in shining moments that will permit us to move forward in a positive direction of our goals.
When we experience shining moments in our life they are imbedded in the cortex of our brain allowing us to pull them from our memory bank to fuel us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. The shining moments we create will impact us and others.
It is when we commit to manifesting moments is time that we open up the spiritual passages necessary changes in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives so as to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. It is when we rise above everyone’s expectations that we thrive and grow. As we look at moments in time we can use the memories to improve our world one community at a time. In the end all the trials and tribulations can be overcome simply by tapping into your inner divinity and creating special moments in time.
This young girl is a cancer survivor and I had the honor to be the announcer for STRIKEOUT CANCER Day where she through out the first pitch. This photograph serves as a reminder to continue to move forward in my quest to help those touched by cancer. It also serve to remind me to use my talents for good to create positive memories that resonate with others as I continue on my spiritual path. The memories we create will be etched upon our heart to allow us to be heart centered in all we do so that we can show others that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe we can achieve. It is in creating positive memories that we can shift the paradigms in our life and create bliss and abundance for ourselves and others.
Here I am announcing a Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Game. When I look at this photo I am able to reminisce about some of the positive things I was able to do while connected with the team. I am no longer affiliated with The Miami Fury however I have some great memories and some excellent experiences that I will utilize to enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life. When I look at this photo I understand that announcing is one of my callings and that I right where GOD has intended me be.
Now is your time to create some memorable memories that will evoke happiness and allow you continue to live a purpose driven life. It is your time to understand that this is the day the lord hath made and to rejoice and be glad in it as you make memories that will be impactful to you as you awaken spiritually. Namaste!!!
Spiritual Awakening: Leaving A Memorable Legacy!!!
As we awake spiritually we must commit to leaving a worthy legacy. What we do for ourselves will die with us but what we do for others will live on long after we are gone so ask yourself how will you leave a memorable legacy. What will people remember you for? How will you lay a foundation that shows the communities where you lived, worked, and played that you were there and that you were of service of value to others? Now is your time to take action to leave a memorable legacy that will enhance future generations so that they will experience bliss and abundance. The time has come to reflect on the differences that you have made in the lives of others by asking yourself did I live my life in joy and did my life bring joy to others. If you can say yes to these questions you can say you had a decent life. In today’s world where it seems that we are being bombarded by negativity and divisiveness we need to find ways to be positive and lift others so that our legacy will be memorable. Your opportunity to change the way things are going is now and all it takes is to make kindness and compassion a priority. When you commit to leaving a memorable legacy you will find yourself attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. You have the power to heal the world.
You may think but I am only one person but what can I do. You can do so much once you decide to become an action taker and to put your passion into action as passion + action = success. When you awaken spiritually and come alive by answering your calling to positively impact your community you will experience a change that propels to continue on a path that will leave a memorable legacy. The fact remains that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper so you can prosper others. Many people miss out on the opportunity to leave a memorable legacy as they come from a position of lack rather than of abundance. I know for many that are reading this entry it may seem as though things are tough and you may be afraid of what is next. I am here to tell you that if you face everything and rise you will see miracles as you believe that you have the ability to leave a memorable legacy.
I was reflecting back to when I was 12 years old and I got run over by a golf cart. The paramedics said I was very lucky as if the tires had been a couple inches to either side of my chest I would not have survived. I think this is when the spiritual awakening process began for me and when I decided to be of service and value to others. Since that time I have been dedicated to helping many charitable causes. Through out high school and through college and now today I do my part to help other people to excel. The year was 1989 and I was at a 4th of July Celebration and their was a group of people circulating a petition to ban the burning of the American Flag. I began to speak with them and found that they were members of The Jaycees (Junior Chamber Of Commerce) an their mission was to provide leadership training through community service to people 18-40. I was invited to attend a meeting and at the meeting was asked to join. I said yes and from 1989-2002 and then again from 2003 until 2008 was part of The Jaycees where I learned valuable skills that serve me today. From July of 2002 until February I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines where I taught English, Math, and Livelihood Skills to at at-risk boys at A Regional Rehabilitation Center For Youth in Bauang La Union. I share this with you in hopes that you will be inspired to find ways to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life by showing the world that service to humanity is the best work of life. The greatest gift we can give once we awaken spiritually is the gift of service. You don’t have to have wealth all you have to do is have a desire to serve and help others. It all starts with tapping into your inner divinity and following the guidance of GOD so that you leave a memorable legacy. It is stated that if you touch one life in a positive way you change the world.
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.
Today I turn back the clock to the 1994-1995 year of The Florida Jaycees. For those not familiar with The Jaycees they are a leadership training organization that provides people ages 18-40 an opportunity to grow personally and professionally through community service. I joined the organization in 1988 and in 1994 I decided that I would compete in The Armbruster Competition which was a resume and interview competition for members that have been involved for over 2 years based on contributions made to the organization. The competition was based on the areas of Individual Development, Community Service, Membership Recruitment, and Management Development. The competition started on a chapter level then you could advance to to the district level, the regional level, and the state level. The competitions were held quarterly with the final quarterly state winner advancing to nationals. My 1st competition went well I made it to state but did not make the call backs. A bit discouraged I went home and looked at the judges sheets and saw where I needed improvement and worked towards becoming better. I continued to compete and in May of 1995 of 1995 I won The State Competition to advance to Nationals. At Nationals I made the call backs and in the call back room stated they give out 5 awards and I am taking home one of them so the rest of you can battle for the other 4. I went on to be one of the top 5 winners and that is when I realized that I was having a spiritual awakening as I was finding my purpose which is to be of service and value to others.
It was at that moment in 1995 standing on the stage and looking out to the crowd that I realized how important it is to go the distance and to simply realize that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. IT was then that I made a conscious decision to put the doubters, the haters, and naysayers aside and to go the distance to continue to make a positive impact on people that I come in contact with while on my spiritual journey. Since 1995 I have made a great effort to show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life. I have continued to awaken spiritually learning ways to improve my personal, professional, and spiritual life. Each step that I have taken I have reminded myself to go the distance. As I continue on my path I realize that there will those who may not resonate with my message however those that are meant to hear it and are destined to be drawn to me will be enlightened. I have come to subscribe to the concept that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next as I have offered advice to people only to be told I don’t need your help or who are you to tell me what to do. I simply pray for those people and move on to those who are more receptive. I have also learned to go where you are celebrated instead of tolerated. I have also learned that GOD, The Angels, The Ascended Masters, and Jesus will provide the resources necessary to go the distance by allowing you to step into your power and achieving the greatness that is your birthright.
If you are to go the distance you must take the steps to fly and soar so that you can move forward in a positive direction of your goals. Each day gives you a new opportunity to get closer to being the best version of yourself that you can be. It is through making a mind, body, and soul connection that you will become stronger thus enabling you to go the distance. It is up to yo to become a person in the arena so that you can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. Now is your time to take action and to go the distance.
NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE STEPS TO GO THE DISTANCE
Theodore Roosevelt once said it is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer
of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and
again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the
deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at
the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
It your season to move forward and to commit to going the distance by taping into your inner divinity so that you can face everything and rise. Your journey starts with the first step and continues while you work toward going the distance. It is your time to experience bliss and abundance and to understand that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens you. Namaste!!!
