Spiritual Awakening: Listen Up!!!
As I sat and actively listened to The Imagine Dragons Song, Radioactive, I began to think how many messages are we missing as we travel along our spiritual path because we are not really actively listening. Through out the spiritual awakening process it is important to remember that GOD gave us 2 ears and one mouth so we should listen twice as much as we speak. As I am out and about in the community working on writing blog entries and places like Starbucks, Panera Bread, and Dunkin Donuts I make it a point to tune in to people around me so that I can be of service and value to others. As I begin to overhear people speaking about different topics I find a way to simply go over and introduce myself as you never know where that may lead. In becoming an active listener you will find opportunities to interact with others and thus move further along your spiritual path as you never know where that interaction will go. On many occasion I have been very successful be it obtaining donations for Relay For Life, by the way my donation page is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg4, or securing guests for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT, or simply looking for gigs to emcee. The key is to check the ego at the door and not to be afraid of what the person or people you approach will say. In detaching from outcomes and simply implementing a philosophy of some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next you will find yourself moving forward in a positive direction of your goals and your dreams.
In following your dreams and becoming an active listener you will find yourself belonging to your city. As a result you will begin to attract the people who will become lifters and supporters who will move you forward in your quest to become spiritually enlightened. This song by Glenn Frey remind us not to forget about our roots and to listen to our heart and follow our heart as we continue to search for our personal, professional, and spiritual identity. In listening to the messages that are coming to us we can began to conceive things in our mind, believe them in our heart, and as a result achieve them. When you sit down and listen to the messages you find that you belong and that you have the power to answer your calling and make positive changes in your life.
When we listen to the messages and take action we are able to make changes that allow us to create a mind, body. soul connection that leads to a oneness consciousness thus enhancing our personal, professional, and spiritual awakenings. Each day we have 86,400 seconds to use to make a positive change. In each moment their will be messages that we must process so that we can move forward in our spiritual journey. As we move forward in our spiritual journey it is important to stop, take a deep breath, and actively listen.
Over the last few days I have had a recurring message with the theme of Love as the focal point. I recently interviewed Dr. Erica Goodstone for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, and our theme was love. As I interviewed her I was reminded of the teachings of Leo Buscaglia, who was known as the original love doctor. As I continued the interview I was given a quote by Mother Teressa tat stated if you can not do great things do small things with great love. After that interview upon arriving home I sat in meditation and received more love related messages telling me to detach from outcomes and to follow Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements more. As I heeded these messages I have found that I am more peaceful, happier, and more joyful. In showing love and gratitude and not taking anything personally I have been able to have more success in all my endeavors.
Look inside yourself and listen to the messages coming from within as you connect with your inner divinity and you will be positively guided by GOD, your angels, and the ascended masters. Instead of asking why begin to ask how and then listen to the answer and act accordingly. It is when we actively listen and follow our passion by taking action that we find success.
Another message that has been reoccurring is this one from Marianne Williamson about fear so ask yourself what am I afraid of and then go out and conquer it. You are a divine child of GOD!!! Namaste!!!
