Spiritual Awakening:Becoming A Hero!!!
In the trials and tribulations of our society today many are holding out for a hero when the true hero lies within all of us. I was sitting in meditation the other day and I asked how can I get in touch with my inner hero? The answer came as part of another spiritual awakening stating to continue to just do what you to be of service and value to others and detach from the outcomes. As I came out of the meditation I began to write in my gratitude journal and I began to realize that for most of my life I was focusing on the out comes and was focusing on the wrong things instead of being grateful for the opportunity to be of service and value. As I continue to awaken spiritually I realize just how things can change when we simply stop focusing on results and start looking at the impact we can make because we all have the opportunity to be a hero.
Though Shane Falco was a fictional character in the movie, The Replacements, he taught us a lesson that we can all be heroes if just for one day. Each day that we awaken we should thank GOD for another opportunity to make a difference in our life and the lives of others. Through all that we do we should set the intention to leave people we come in contact with enriched in some way as that is what a hero does. A Hero does not seek recognition a hero simply does what is right without expectation of recognition. A hero simple acts with grace and humility and does what is considered righteous by others. A hero doesn’t work for the applause or the accolades a hero is directed by GOD and understand the concept that you live to serve and by serving you live. I have learned through all my years of showing people that service to humanity is the best work of life that what I do for myself will die with me but what I do for others will live long after I am gone. I have learned that it is not about the big house, the fancy car, or the designer clothes but it is about how I was of service and value to others that truly matters. You have read it at this blog before about my feelings of when I am in a position to buy the Mercedes Benz that I am taking that money purchasing a modest car and then taking some of the money for my investments and then with the rest I am going to select charities to help. If each day we can be a hero to just one person we can touch lives and make a positive shift in our society that leads to hope and healing.
many are waiting on a hero so now is the time to look deep inside and find a way to step into your power to be a hero to someone everyday. Some times it is the smallest acts of kindness dome with great love that makes you a hero in the eyes of others. I posted a request for donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Boca Raton encouraging people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg4 and one of the donors wrote a comment that you are one of the heroes. My heart filled with much warmth as I realized that my involvement in Relay is making a difference in people’s lives. I have come to realize that it is not about the plaques as the metal tarnishes and the wood rots but the memories they last forever. As you go about your daily activities find a way to unleash your inner hero.
In a quest to become a hero we must look back and realize that in the end when we face judgement day all that will matter is that we played the role of a hero to someone. When we evaluate our lives and we can positively answer did you live a life of joy and did you bring joy to others we can say we were heroes. When the final light is lit in your honor will your candle show that you were a hero?
This is my mom, who GOD called home on July 5, 2012 and my reason for finding my inner hero and for doing Relay For Life. She was truly the wind beneath my wings. She is now an angel watching over me guiding me to be a hero by being of service and value to others. Be a Hero today!!! Namaste!!!
