"Be The Miracle"
Ascend, to go up/climb or rise through the air. To go up or move upward, to rise from a lower level.......to pretty much advance which to me is obtained through improvement (self). As I often ponder on this whole concept of "ascending" & constantly self-reflect and critique my perceptions of "ascending", the better I get at this ascending business. See I now know that there's an art to ascending but what was missing up until recently was the acknowledgment of art's inherent dependency upon purpose. Though the beautiful wonders of nature are "masterpieces" of art to say the least they still serve a purpose. In fact purposes that are vital to life here on earth and that's what makes them art, the possession & honoring of those purposes whether "big" or "small". So, what does this new discovery (self) mean for the ascension of "actressAmira"? Easy, it simply means that in order to master the Art of Ascending I must apply purpose to my "come up". There's no art to my ascending if it's driven by the ego & selfishness and essentially in vain and there's no point in the purpose if it isn't divine & your own unique contribution/gifts towards nourishing the Universe. Now I've always been aware of my duty to humanity as far as I can remember. From a young age Ive desired to make an impact on both individuals and society as whole and feel guilty when I feel as though I'm lacking to do so or at least taking necessary steps towards doing so. So when I did this fun yet enlightening interview with Ms. Yesi Ortiz of Power106LA who has an amazing story of ascending herself, the things she said regarding living in your purpose really hit a spot. A spot that was becoming numb yet still very much so filled with life. I had been directly reminded that regardless of any "trials & tribulations" internal or external that I face I still have a duty to this Universe, my loved ones, myself and Allah almighty to serve. And I know that my soul can't/won't live nor rest in peace if I were to neglect it or give up. I know that I won't be able to live with myself if I don't give it everything that I've got even if all I got is a subtle yet potent prayer for assistance from the divine creator at the very least. So, I've made the resolution within myself that I'm going to honor my calling and make my individual contribution to the Universe. And when I naturally wondered to myself "how"? I then recalled that I must start with self. That I have to change & go to work on my self improvement and thus advance/rise up all in the name of purpose. See, the most we can do for others along with ourselves is to be the best possible version of us we can be and once we've mastered that as nature does we will automatically serve our purpose that ALL creations of the Most High possess. So that's what I been doing/where I been & where I'm at; training in the gym, reading meaningful literature, seeking truths and as always living & learning because I refuse to indulge in the act of "honoring my calling" without being aligned. I learned that it's one thing to to work hard, hustle/grind & overcome obstacles that may come until you reach your terms of professional success but to go on the journey within in attempts to obtain spiritual alignment to reach a destiny that's already yours waiting to be claimed in accordance to divine purpose is the true works of honoring your calling. Having the courage to endure whatever is necessary to become who you are meant to become is the surest way to doing "God's work".
