Spiritual Awakening: Full Throttle Saloon Teaches Valuable Lesson
Most people wouldn’t think that a TV Program based on a business that promotes drinking and scantily clad women during Bike Week in Sturgis, South Dakota would hold a lesson of spirituality. On 12/26/12 I was at home flipping the channels and tuned in to Full Throttle and the show had a message as one of the story lines was of a customer who Michael Balard, the owner of Full Throttle, made feel welcomed. The story was that the man passed away and his daughter was flown in by Michael as she had news that Michael was in her dad’s will.Michael is informed that he was left $1,000,000. As I watched I begin to thin wow what a lesson of spirituality as it shows that being kind and grateful pays off.
As Full Throttle ended I sat for a moment and began to think of how simple acts of kindness and gratitude go far in developing our spirituality. It may not bring us a million dollars like it did to Michael Ballard, however it will bring us the riches we seek as we become more and more spiritually awake. It is when you find ways to be a shining light of hope sharing kindness and gratitude that you are rewarded. Please share how you are being kind and what you are grateful for under comments.
