Spiritual Awakening: Turning Pages!!!

As you embrace the spiritual awakening process and begin to become an action taker it is important to remember to turn the page. Today (8/2/2017) marks my 52nd year on this earth. As I turn the page of another year lived I look back and take in all the lessons learned along the way. There have been many triumphs and many tragedies in the last year and each one has come with a spiritual lesson that has allowed me to become more aware and awake. Each time I face adversity I am reminded of my anthem, Stay Positive. As I remind myself that even in the darkest of ties there is a light to step into that will guide me in a positive direction of my dreams. It is important to bask in the glow of that light and heed the messages as they will allow all of us on a spiritual path to turn the page and start a new. Each day we are given 1,440 minutes to use to advance our personal, professional, and spiritual life. How we choose to utilize those minutes is up to us. We can get caught up in the arguments and name calling on social media about that which we can not control or we can focus on following our passion by taking action that will lead to success. At the end of the day when that last minute ticks off we are given another 1,440 minutes to use presenting us with opportunities to turn the page. We can not go back to the past and we do not know what the future brings so we must live in the moment cherishing the minutes we have been given and using them in the best interest of being of service and value. There have been many days when I decided to simply rest and do nothing and I know I can not get those days back so I have begun to say to myself in the past and up into now I used to sleep the day away but starting now I will make the most of the minutes turning the page and writing my own story as directed by GOD.
As you allow GOD to write your story and turn the pages you will find yourself attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your personal, professional, and spiritual life. We have the power to tap into our inner divinity an create the life that we desire. It starts with the idea of turning the pages and letting go and letting GOD. There have been many times that I have lost the connection with GOD and then I took time to get back to being centered, focused, and grounded by remembering that GOD’s plan is far greater than my own.

Spiritual Awakening: Stuff It!!!

In basketball a dunk is also referred to as a stuff. A great stuff usually brings the crowd to its feet and fuels the team that had a stuff. I remember watching Brittney Griner at Baylor and seeing her have some stuffs and I was amazed. Brittney is now playing in The WNBA and has had a couple of stuffs that really ignited her team. As I began to write about stuffs I started to think that having a spiritual awakening in our life is much like having a stuff during a basketball game.

I also began to think about other connotations of the word stuff and the first thing that came to mind was George Carlin’s routine a place for my stuff. As I listened to the routine I realized just how much we tend to focus on the materialistic side of life instead of the spiritualistic side of life. The spiritual awakening process allows us to detach from our stuff by understanding that it is not about all the stuff we have accumulated but about the difference we have made in the world by shining our light and finding our inner divinity. In taking action to detach the importance of materialistic stuff we open up the channels to receive that which serves us and to let go of that which no longer serves us. In the awakening process we find ourselves adopting anthems to help us detach from materialistic stuff.
