Spiritual Awakening: Thinking Globally:Acting Locally
As the holidays of Hanukkah and Christmas approach we all should be reminded that there is more to the holidays than just presents. These two holiday celebrate miracles that led to hope and healing. each holiday represents the concept that we can light up the world by simply standing in our truth and becoming an action taker. In this time of a great shift we need to think globally and act locally. We have a power inside of us to be difference makers.
As you experience a spiritual awakening and begin to see that we are all interconnected and that regardless of color or religious backgrounds we are all divine children of GOD who can follow our calling and thus affect change in our local communities by simply thinking globally and acting locally. We can become action takers and show that the smallest acts of kindness will create a ripple effect that will shift our collective conscience and thus produce more positive outcomes in the world. Instead of fighting and trying to prove who is right or wrong we need to come together and find ways to be of service and value to each other. It is time to truly look deep inside and tap into our inner divinity and then recognize the divine in others. Instead of being judgmental and jealous and competitive we must seek ways to coexist realizing that we are more alike than different. This holiday season let us put our differences aside and find a way to be of service and value to each other by making an effort to spread peace, love, joy, and prosperity everywhere we go. Make an effort daily to do a kind act and see the effect that it has on others. Sometimes a simple smile can change someone’s day. Last year I gave out greeting cards to people simply wishing them happy holidays some were receptive while others were defensive it was then that I realized not everyone is ready to think globally and act locally and some people just don’t get the idea that someone would be kind with no expectation of return.
In the sports memorabilia business it is important to have a certificate of authenticity when selling autographed items. In making sure you have a certificate of authenticity you assure the buyer that they are getting the real autograph. Imagine if people came with a certificate of Authenticity to show that they were spiritually aware and awake. As I was out taking action to help promote The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I kept telling the person I was helping to just be yourself. When we finished I thought about how we show up in situations and the importance of being authentic and true to your higher self by not trying to be something that you are not. As I sat in reflection I began to understand more and more the importance of being who I am and taking action on what I was destined to achieve. I looked back and realized that the concept of fake it until you make it does not work as people will see right through you and when you try to fake it you create blockages for you are not showing up as your real authentic self. In the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to tap into your inner divinity and unleash the real you that best serves your higher self. Take an inventory on how you are showing up and the vibration that it is creating and how it is affecting your day. If you find yourself having to be something that you are not take a deep breath and get back to center reminding yourself that you are a divine child of GOD destined to have peace, love, joy, and prosperity in your life. Then remember that at the end of the day you do not have to prove yourself to anyone for you are already great in GOD’S eyes and that is all that matters. 
It is when you adopt a don’t quit attitude that you can come out of the dark and step into the light by embracing the fact that you a re a divine child of GOD and GOD has great plans for you. There will be some set backs along the way so do not get discouraged simply take the set backs as an opportunity to rest and to reset so that you can move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. As you find your purpose and following your calling you will find yourself making changes that will propel you to great achievements allowing you to come alive thus empowering and inspiring others to do the same. 
As I took time to rest and reflect I found myself rejuvenated with a sense of purpose where I was helping myself to overcome my own humanistic worries while also help other people to enhance their personal, professional, and spiritual life. It was when I shifted from a sense of worry to a sense of hop and purpose that I was able to get the fatigue out and be energized. It was when I sat down ad wrote in my gratitude journal and read passages from Rev. Dr. Dee Addio Mosses Book, heal Your Life With Meditation And Prayer and then read passages from The Miracle Minute by Mary Morrisey that I was able to get back on track with my mission to help other people excel by being of service and value to all those I come in contact with.
