Spiritual Awakening: Putting Things In Perspective!!!
Last night (3/10/2023) I attended The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Pembroke Pines and Miramar. While there I met Leo, a 9 month old cancer patient battling Neuroblastoma, and his family. They had found about Relay and formed a GOLD TOGETHER TEAM to support those touched by pediatric cancer. As I finished having this photo taken I began to walk the track and I realized that nothing in my life that I am facing is a s difficult as what this family is facing. A tear rolled down my eye and I began to realize that everything that the universe presents to us allows us to put things into perspective. As I met many survivors and care givers I realized that we all shared a spiritual connection and that GOD has brought us together to be of service and value to others. Sometimes all it takes to get back on track and to put things into perspective is a quick reminder from GOD, Jesus, Source, Spirit, The Angels, and The Ascended Masters. As I drove home I began to realize that there is a purpose for everything under heaven.
In our spiritual journey we will face many trials and tribulations for what we can overcome strengthens us. It is in times of challenge that we begin to understand that things happen for us so that we can evolve in our personal, professional, and spiritual life. This week I had a set back as my hard drive on my lap top crashed and could not be restored so I had a new one installed. I was a bit disappointed and the idea of spending $321 to have it fixed was a bit disheartening but then I realized that it is a way to start again and a chance to have the lap top for another 5 years. As I put things into perspective I realized that this is my season of renewal and with each challenge is a chance to grow. In the past I would have come from a position of lack but now I come from a position of abundance understanding that GOD will provide. After picking up my laptop I headed over to Starbucks to write this blog entry and I was able to wrap my head around the concept that when you change the way you look at things your life changes. It was in that moment that I comprehended that to achieve the greatness that is your birthright you have to assume an attitude of gratitude for everything that is happening for you is happening for a reason and the lessons that are in the events in your life should be greeted with a sense of thankfulness.
As you put things into perspective remember that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. As I spoke to a cancer survivor last night she helped to put things in perspective as she said JDOGG as long as you are genuine and speak from your heart everything will work out. Today is a day to realize what the mind can conceive and your heart can believe you can achieve. It is when you change your perspective that you can see the endless possibilities that exist around us. When things get tough step back take a deep breath and put all things in perspective. If you are facing challenges a great tool to utilize to overcome the obstacles in your life is The Bible.
It is through gratitude that you can put things into perspective and thus change your life while positively impacting the lives of others. Another way to put things into perspective is to spend some time in nature reflecting on where you have been, where you are, and where you are going. I have found a great song to help put things into perspective tat serves as a reminder to let go and let GOD.
Another song that has helped me in finding perspective is Kansas’s Dust In The Wind.
One thing I have learned on my spiritual journey is that we will deal with loss and that in understanding that the loss we experience is a pathway to growth for the lessons of those lost stay with us and help us to become stronger in mind, body, and spirit. The memories of those gone provide us with the fuel needed to put things into perspective so that we can change the things we can, accept the things we can’t and to have the wisdom to know the difference.
Ask yourself how are you seeing things and then put it all into perspective. Stay Positive!!!
