How many times have you stated your intentions during your spiritual awakening only to be told oh that is a pipe dream or that is an impossible dream? How many times have you given in to your own fears or the thoughts of others only to think what might have been or what could have been? It is at times like this that we must summon our own inner Don Quixote and get in tune with our own divinity so that we can pursue what many may consider an impossible dream.
How many times have you not take a shot because you thought you might miss it only to realize that if you take the shot there is a 50% chance that you will make it. I remember hearing on the radio an interview about The Lingerie Football League, now Legends Football league. I thought it would be great to be a PA Announcer for the local team, The Miami Caliente, so I looked up the league and contacted them about The PA Announcer Position. They Responded and I did an audition on the phone and I was hired. The first night was like a dream come true as I sat in the announcing area of this big arena and I had my own dressing room. I did the game and was paid for it and then invited to do other games and Lingerie Bowl 7. It was something deep inside that told me to go for it and ignore the naysayers and the doubters. As a result of this successful experience I have learned to chase the impossible dream and to continue to put myself out there. I have learned through taking action that most of the time you obtain desirable results. The dream has run across some obstacles like a team hiring me for 4 games and only using me for 1 or a team hiring me and then not paying me, however I have learnt from each experience and I keep moving forward in the positive direction of my dreams.
Spiritual Awakening: Unleashing Your Inner Don Quixote!!!
One of my favorite Operas/musicals is Man Of La Mancha. The character, Don Quixote, was fighting windmills. The windmills represented the inner demons that he was facing. As I listened to the music and began to understand the message being deliver I discovered just like Don Quixote many of us are experiencing a spiritual awakening. We are waking up and becoming aware that we have greatness inside of us and that our light is meant to shine bright and thus we are becoming action takers. We are beginning to adopt anthems and thus unleashing our inner Don Quixote and showing others that they can step into their greatness and become who they desire to be. Don Quixote was doubted by many, chastised by others, however he stuck to his mission and taught us about pursuing dreams and being a leader in our personal and professional lives. In awakening we unleash that inner Don Quixote and we leave all the doubters and naysayers behind as we pursue the purpose that we have discovered. It is when we fully commit to our quest that we begin to understand our calling and thus enhance our personal and professional lives while being of service and value to others. A change occurs when you come alive and embrace the spiritual awakening that you are experiencing. There will be battles that are won and battles that are lost and each one will teach us valuable lessons along our path.
Don Quixote had his loyal servant Sancho to encourage him and move him in the direction of his dreams. Who do you have in your circle that is lifting you? How are you being a lifter? A strong belief in your self and others will propel you positively along your spiritual path towards enlightenment thus allowing you to experience the joy that comes from being surrounded by encouragers and lifters while also becoming a lifter.
Many will doubt your dreams and do what they can to discourage you. My advice is do not listen to them and unleash your inner Don Quixote and pursue the dream. To pursue your dream takes courage. There are many stories about those who did not let the naysayers win and pursued their dreams and as a result have found joy, an inner peace, and abundance. Some will say oh they were lucky, others will say oh that can never be me, while others will say if they can do it I can do it. The journey starts when you are committed to following your dream. It is when you write it down in the form of I will and start to take action steps towards that goal.
One of my favorite musicals is Man Of LaMancha. One of my favorite songs is The Impossible Dream. Each time I hear the song I am rejuvenated to continue on my quest to explore my spiritual awakening. I also ask others the question, What Is Your Quest? The reason I ask this question is that I am committed to being a lifter and supporting others in their quest to find their purpose and fufill their spiritual calling. When we begin to explore our dreams and align them with our calling we are then able to move forward in a positive direction towards our dreams. It is through defining our quest and letting it be known that we bring it to fruition. Taking action along the way leads to our continued success along our path of spiritual awakening. There will be those that doubt and laugh to them say thank you and move on with your quest and find those that will be supportive. Sometimes we must be like Don Quixote and fight our own windmills.
Don Quixote had his doubters but hs loyal friend Sancho was willing to support him. This gave Don Quixote the fuel to go forward on his quest. He toook ownership of his quest. His lesson to us is to never give in to the doubters and to find supporters of our quest.It is when we can move past the doubt that we will truly prosper and enhance our personal and professional lives. Who is the Sancho in your quest?
Monty Python puts a unique spin on the idea of What is Your Quest. It teaches us that sometimes we may have the answers and sometimes we must turn the tables on those that are asking the questions. In defining our quest and following our path we must prepare for detours and overcome them accordingly.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You On Your Quest!!!
Music such as this from the Indian Rock Opera, Airo, increase your vibrations and serves as a tool to keep you on your path during your quest. Music is a great tool to help you as you move forward on your journey to spiritual awakening.
This is another from Airo’N Brule that will help you to saty on frequency and vibrate with others who share your vision and will support what you quest.
This song is from The Movie Vision Quest and reminds us that it is what is in our heart that never changes. Our quest is in our heart and knowing this will serve as a tool to assist you in your quest. IT is when we follow what is in our heart that we have the best results.
Books such as these can aid you in your journey to further your spiritual awakening and help you to complete your quest.
Quotes such as these can be a great inspiration to continue your quest. There will be times you want to quit those are the times to reach down inside yourself and continue. Sometimes it is in pushing further on your quest that you find your purpose and thus understanding that yiur life has meaning.
As you define what your quest is remember that by shining your light on others you give permission to others to shine their light. As you continue your quest know that you are destined for greatness. By following your quest and embracing your greatness you will make a difference in your life and in the lives of others.
I chose to close with this song as it reinforces the idea that you can be great and what the mind can conceive and the heart can beleive you can achieve. Continue on your quest and be the hero in your story as you make your own hall of fame.It is when you follow your passion and take action that you find success and then the world will know your name. Until Next Time Stay Positive!!!
This blog entry was inspired by Abba’s song, Thank You For The Music. As I listened to the lrics I began to ask what is the song you want the world to hear and be thankful to you for singing? What positive message will you be able to deliver to the world? I began to think of the songs that I listen to for inspiration. I have my top 10 ranked later in this entry. We all have a song to sing and I encourage you to sing yours loud so the entire world will hear and be moved by you to take action. It is when you sing your song that you shine your light and inspire and empower others to do the same.
Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive has become an anthem for many to sing their song.
Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Song
I use the word song to encompass all talents that you posses. How do I find my song(purpose) is a question I am asked so many times when I am helping people with media and marketing relations. Each of us has a calling( a song) and once we find that calling great things begin to unfold. Whatever you are being called to do at this moment to be a shining light and to sing your song embrace it and watch the greatness unfold. There are many ways to find your song.
1: Answer What do I Enjoy?
2: Ask How Can My Song Be of Value and Service?
3: Who Am I Surrounding Myself With?
For me I enjoy helping people get the word out so I became The Spiritual Eemcee Maximizing Your Message. I provide a service taht everyoen with a business needs, the ability to get media attention. I surround myself with others that support my mission, such as providing a great event with The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards, which will be held on 3/24/12 at Unity Church in Pompano Beach from9 AM – 4 PM. MY song is one of hope and inspiration. Through my ability to plan projects, bring people together, and help kids with cancer I have been able to further the mission and sing my song.
Your song when sung will lift others up and as a result you will be lifted
I found my song when I looked deep inside and realized that I am a child of God and God’s Purpose for me is to Help Others Excel. Once I accepted this purpose things in my life began to change for the good. There have been challenges and I have been scared but I have been singing my song loudly wherever I go. I have wondered where money will come from, and then I remembered if I sing my song the money will come and it has eachtime I have sung my song.
When I need inspiration and motivation I look to quotes and pictures and then I continue to sing my song.
