Spiritual Awakening: 2015 A Year Of Growth And Expansion

Spiritual Awakening: 2015 A Year Of Growth And Expansion!

At 12:00 AM on January 1, 2015 I declared 2015 as The Year For Growth and Expansion. As we are now 27 days into the year I can say that my spiritual growth and expansion coupled with personal growth and expansion is well under way. I had a chance to re examine the way I was doing things and how I was blocking myself from expanding and growing. As I sat in reflection this morning I thought how many people reading this entry are experiencing the same feelings I am that may be holding them back from becoming an action taker? I then realized that there are certain tools being placed before me to help me in my desire to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. A great example was the gifts my brother and sister-in-law gave me as the tea helps me to relax along with the candle and the CD that I bought with the gift card they gave me. With the utilization of these 3 I have been able to relax and reflect while making some adjustments to the way I do things and in the last 3 weeks I can say I have noticed changes. I now realize when I am not at my best and can accept that and make adjustments accordingly.  I have begun to be cognizant of what serves me and what does not serve me and as a result have been able to improve my life by continuing to make a mind, body, soul connection. As I have written about detaching from the results I have learned that all I can do is put certain things out their and allow for GOD to bring them to fruition.  I have learned that through the spiritual awakening process there will be those who do not honor commitments and who will let you down. When this happens detach from them and separate yourself from them. A new anthem I have is if that person can not bring joy, happiness, and prosperity to you then it is best to cut the chords and never look back.

 When you decide to grow and expand a key element is to commit to not looking back. So many times we get caught up in the might have been, the could of been, or should have been that we hold ourselves back from the growth and expansion that awaits us.  It is important to not look back but at the same time not to look that far forward so you can be in the moment and allow things to flow to you and from you. If you want to have growth you must seek growth and then help others to grow.If you want to have expansion you must be willing to expand and then help others to expand. I have  found that after I sit in reflection and make an effort to let go that life improves. A great reminder is that everything is in divine order just the way it is meant to be.  To make 2015 a year of growth and expansion I recommend that you eliminate the might of been, could have been, and should have been attitude and accept what is and if you do not like it look to GOD to help you change the situation.

Spiritual Awakening: Going The Distance!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Going The Distance!!!

As many of you who are regular readers of this blog know I am a big fan of The Rocky Movies my favorite being the 1st one.  The character Rocky showed a desire to go the distance because no one had ever gone the distance against Apollo Ccreed. Rocky had this internal spirit that kept him going. Some would call it a spiritual awakening as through his training his life began to change as he gained a romantic interest in Adrienne and saw far beyond her outer appearance. We all know how the movie ended Rocky went the distance and achieved a goal and that led to the second movie where Rocky was granted a rematch with Apollo and he won.  Rocky shows that following a passion and  taking action leads to success. As we go forward in the spiritual awakening process it is important to make a commitment to go the distance and stay on our path allowing things to unfold as GOD has intended.

 The key in being awake and aware and embracing your spirituality is to know that GOD plans for you are far greater than any plans that you may have in store. GOD wants to prosper you and reward you, however you must commit to going the distance with GOD and allow him to lead you to the promised land. In living a purpose driven life guided by GOD in which you create a oneness consciousness you will see great things unfold in your personal and professional life. In waking up and making a declaration that today is the day the lord hath made and I will rejoice and be glad in it you will set the tone to go the distance in all that you do.  In committing to do things with the end in mind and going the distance you will set in motion all that is necessary to manifest the life you desire.

Spiritual Awakening: I Love Me Some Me!!!

Spiritual Awakening: I Love Me Some Me!!!

 All through out the day today this song kept playing in my head thus I realized it was a message to to share more about love as it relates to spiritual awakening. When I think of love I think that in order to love you must yourself first. To help you love yourself you must first embrace that you are loved by GOD and that you are a divine child of GOD. As you begin to make GOD your first love you will begin to see how loving yourself  assists you in enhancing your professional and personal life. In loving yourself you will begin to open up channels that allow you to be open to receive love.  The question that I am asked many times is how do you love yourself?

One of the greatest things you can do is to look in the mirror and say I love you and then remind yourself throughout the day say I love me some me. In showing yourself self love you will set the tone that will allow you to be loving and caring in all you do and to open the gates for love to flow to you and from you. I have found that using music is a great to set the mood for loving yourself. I realize today that love is not silly at all and when we show ourselves love those sets a vibrational wave where the universe sends loving and caring people to you.

... Love Affirmations, Relationship Affirmations, Attracting Love with... Love Affirmations, Relationship Affirmations, Attracting Love withLove Affirmations Relationship Attracting With I found found that saying and truly internalizing affirmations such as these help in loving yourself and creating sacred space needed to allow for love to flow to and from you. In loving yourself and reminding yourself that you are a loving ad caring person and that you deserve to be loved you create a divine space that allows GOD and The Ascended Masters to make you stronger in love while you continue on your spiritual path.

70+ Breathtaking Love Quotes That Will Take Your HeartWhen we give our love and our sincere in the giving without expectation of a return we experience the greatest love of all. When we wake in the morning and make a commitment to things with love in our heart we set in motion all the powers that will conspire to bring us love.  A simple smile done in a loving manner can change the entire paradigm in your life and in the lives of others. A friendly hug given in a loving and compassionate manner can change the whole dynamic of a particular moment so that your life improves while opening the doors of the hearts of others to continue this ripple effect of love and compassion. When we make it point to put in the  air we create a stronger bond with GOD so as to create a oneness consciousness that will also strengthen our mind, body, and soul connection.

Wheel of Life - Home Tips One way I like to show myself love is to draw a hot bath, play some meditative music, burn some incense and candles, and put some healing stones around the tub. As I sit quietly the tub I empty my mind and concentrate on the idea of being loving and compassionate. As I take this spiritual and cleansing bath I find myself receiving messages to go forth and do acts of kindness and to share my love with others.

I find taking a moment to read a page from the love chapter in this book helps me in loving myself. Then writing in my gratitude journal helps to put loving and caring thoughts out into the universe making my ability to give and receive love greater. I also find that saying prayers of forgiveness removes blocks that in the past held me back from loving myself and loving others. It is by loving ourselves that w e are able to love others.

Spriritual Awakening: The State Of Spirituality!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The State Of Spirituality!!!

quote of the day sri chinmoyAs I watched The State of The Union Address by President Barack Obama I thought would it not be a better world if we became a nation driven by love and compassion and started to detach from the idea of being right or wrong. Through the spiritual awakening process I have learned that if you are loving and caring and genuine in all you do then the results will fall into to place just as GOD has planned. Today I had a conversation with a colleague who is having a tough time and I told him everything is in divine order just the way it is meant to be.  I suggested he detach from outcomes and just let things flow. In allowing things to flow you will see that the state of spirituality is just the way it is supposed to be. I saw this first hand today as I arrived early for my radio interview to represent the Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Team.  I was told of a local sandwich shop, Franky’s and  decided to try it out. I walked from the studio and on the way could locate Franky’s so I stopped to ask a business in the area if they could direct me. The lady didn’t speak English but found someone who did and that person directed me. Upon thanking the person who helped me I gave them my business card. In the past I would have been upset that a business person did not speak English but this time I just took a deep breath and allowed things to flow.  I arrived at Franky’s and was given a great greeting and everyone seemed very friendly. Upon finishing a good sandwich I decided to offer to do a quick testimonial and they recorded it and thanked me with a certificate for a FREE Sub the next time I came by. I gave the certificate to the lady at the radio studio as a way to pay it forward. I did the interview and it went well. I left and some how found my way to I-75 north and made it safely back to my neighborhood. In allowing things to flow and letting GOD guide me I had a productive day.

Iyanla Vanzant quotationIn checking our state of spirituality and allowing GOD to touch our soul we are able to take action and move forward in a positive direction toward our dreams and goals. There will be set back because not everyone’s state of spirituality is in alignment with yours. Once we learn that people will allow their human side to interfere with their spiritual side we are able to not take things so personally. By not taking things personally and acting in the best interest of our spirituality we are able to progress and manifest the life we desire. When we realize that the answer lies with in us through our oneness consciousness we are able to allow things to unfold as GOD had planned. As I sat in reflection yesterday I realized that having the gig for The B.I.G. Summit cancelled on me was a blessing a sit allowed me to do what GOD had planned and that was to enrich lives through my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EST on www.wrpbitv.com. GOD also has plans for me to help cancer patients, their friends, and their families and having The B.I.G. Summit Gig canceled for me allowed me to take my time and to gather my thoughts to do an excellent presentation at The Relay For Life Party. If you want to donate to Relay For Life the donation page is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2. In understanding that the best plans of mice and men go astray I have been able to come to grips with the spiritual idea of divine guidance. GOD will put you in the proper state of spirituality so that you can move forward and achieve the greatness and prosperity he has in store for you.

Spiritual Awakening: The Change Of The Tide!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Change Of The Tide!!!

Where to Go: La Unions Surfing Locations and Tourist SpotsThe year was 2002 and I was a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Buang La Union, Philippines I was well into my path of self discovery and experiencing a spiritual awakening when I discovered the power of the changing of the tide. I had walked about 5 KM from my host family’s house up the beach stopping at a resort to have a snack when I sat peacefully on the seawall watching the waves ebb and flow when I noticed that one of the banka(fishing) boats was coming in and that the crew would struggle to get it to shore so I jumped of the seawall and met the boat a sit came in and the filipino crew seemed frightened at first as they weren’t used to getting help from a stranger but I told them I can help I am pretty strong I lifted the front of the boat and with a few pulls and help from the crew we  brought the boat to shore. The fishermen paid me with an offering of their catch which I brought to my host family to cook. As I reflect back on this moment I am reminded that GOD will put is where we are meant to be so as to be of service and value to others.  Through out the next several months while I served in The U.S. Peace Corps I would have many encounters that would revolve around the change of the tide.  There would be days when I realized that walking back to the host family’s home would be challenging because of high tide and having to dodge waves. It was in these moments that I learned that  you can either wait  for the high tide to pass or you can adjust accordingly.

san luis del mar resort in bauang la union Many a night while in The Philippines this would be my view on my way from The Regional Rehabilitation Center For Youth where I taught Math, English, and Livelihood Skills to the at-risk youth assigned to the center. I would sit on the chair by the water realizing just how grateful I was as not everyone gets to fulfill a dream of traveling to another country and helping other people excel. As I watched the tide come in an out I began to realize that the water represented a flow of life and at anytime that tide can change.  As I became more and more aware of the power of the tide and the vibrational forces of nature i became more productive as I kept myself centered and grounded.

Spiritual Awakening: R-E-L-A-X: Relax!!!

Spiritual Awakening: R-E-L-A-X: Relax

As the day unfolded today this song stuck in my head. As someone who believes in messages as part of the spiritual awakening process I realized it was a message to share the concept of relaxing and letting things flow because in the end the only one who controls things is GOD. Being an action taker I have found myself trying to force things and this was creating some blockages and making accomplishing certain goals  seem impossible. I decided to sit in a hot bath and light some candles and relax and meditate. As a result I was told that the theme of my day should be to relax and just let things flow. It was when I started to let things flow that I experienced more peace and joy and things seemed to get accomplished. In looking at the things I can control and accepting the things I can’r and understanding that when it is all said and done it is GOD’S plan after all.  The key know is to let GOD direct us on our spiritual path towards growth and enlightenment.  In relaxing and worrying less we open up channels that allow us to receive and thus we mover forward in a positive direction towards our goals and dreams.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is getting ready to kick ... A perfect example of  relaxing and letting it flow happened recently as I ran a spirit nigh for Relay For Life with Tijuana Flats and hadn’t received the check yet so I inquired and received an email that stated a check for $142.59 was mailed to the address on the w-9 which was nit the address I had given them. Instead of getting angry and pointing blame as I would have done in the past I took a deep breath and called The American Cancer Society and explained calmly the situation and they are looking into it and will credit me and my Relay For Life with the donation. It may take some time to post to http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2, however I can take solace in knowing that it will post and those touched by cancer will be helped with research, education, advocacy, and services. I have also learned hat sometimes people will not follow directions and not to get made at them but to just let it flow.  I have learned that people will also say they are going to donate and not donate so I shouldn’t get mad instead I should relax and know that in the end GOD will sort everything out.

Spiritual Awakening: The Dropped Pass!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Dropped Pass!!!

Header linksOne may ask what does football have to do with spiritual awakening? The answer is so simple as in football and in life a dropped pass can turn a game a round or turn a life around.  I have  watched many a football game and each game has that one moment that turns the momentum from one team to another and most likely it involves a dropped pass. As you trace your life back on your own personal gridiron how many passes can you say you caught and how many have you dropped. When you have dropped the pass have you found out why and made adjustments so the next time that pass is thrown your way way you can catch it. Each drive in football has a consequence. Every decision in life has a consequence as well. Sometimes that dropped pass in life is a blessing because you can run another route or a play and have a different outcome. The greatest victory is in overcoming the dropped pass.

Oregon Ducks vs Ohio State Buckeyes I watched The Oregon Ducks take on The Ohio State Buckeyes for The National Championship on 1/12/2015. As I watched Marcus Mariota throw a pass on 3rd down that should have been caught I thought what a shift as Oregon punted and Ohio State marched down the field on a 97 yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 7. The ducks took the ensuing kickoff and were driving when again Mariota found a wide open receiver who unfortunately dropped the ball and forced Oregon to punt. Oregon punted and Ohio State again marched down the field to take a 14-7 lead. Oregon would be in scoring position but Ohio State would stop them. The teams would exchange points and the half would end with Ohio State up 21-10. Ohio State would be stopped and Oregon would kick a field goal then Oregon would capitalize with a 71 yard touch down pass to make the game 21-20 Ohio State. Ohio State would take over the game and go on to win The National Championship 42-20.  I share this with you because like a football game our lives have a ebb an flow and if you drop too many passes you lose out. In life these passes are shown as opportunities given to us in spiritual code.  If we take the proper action and have the proper game plan and execute all of our patterns we grow in mind, body, and soul.  Look at  the passes being thrown your way and if you are catching them or dropping them.

Spiritual Awakening: Bloom Where You Are Planted!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Bloom Where You Are Planted!!!

 

Bloom Where You're Planted  In the spiritual awakening process it is important to bloom where you are planted. So many times I have heard people well if I move to xyz from abc things will get better. Things will only get better if you commit to changing your self and the way you act.  If you are bitter and angry nothing changes until you remove the bitterness and the anger. If you come from a position of lack nothing changes until you embrace the fact that their is an abundance being provided to you. The other day I was speaking to someone about  being a guest on my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EST. The conversation turned to the concept of how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?  As I hung up the phone I thought of Alice and Wonderland and her journey down the rabbit hole and  how at the end her perspective had changed. She understood that wherever she ended up she would have to thrive there. You can move time and time again but until you remove personal and professional baggage that inhibits spiritual growth everything remains the same.

We have all heard the term the grass is greener on the other side. This is not true the grass is greener where you water it. To expand and grow  one must look at and answer the question of how are you taking care of your grass.  Are you embracing your divinity and creating a relationship with GOD? Are you nurturing yourself  allow yourself to evolve? Many times we look at other people’s lives and see them as they are today and not where they  came from or the journey  they are traveling.

Spiritual Awakening: Stuart Scott Leaves A Spiritual Lesson!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Stuart Scott Leaves a Spiritual Lesson!!!

stuart-scott.jpgAs most of you who read this blog on a regular basis know I am a broadcaster and an avid sports enthusiast. One of my favorites was Stuart Scott who on January 4, 2015 was called home to GOD after battling cancer for the 3rd time. His speech at The 2014 ESPY Awards after receiving The Jim Valvano Perseverance Award was captivating and inspiring. How Stuart Scott battled with grace and dignity teaches us many spiritual lessons. Stuart’s love for his family and those he worked with and came in contact with taught is all that love is a great power to share.  Stuart was authentic and this came across in all he did. I remember writing him an invite to come to The Relay For Life and receiving a gracious reply that he was unable to attend. Stuart taught the world to live life to the fullest and if you are over the top you may just impact lives in a positive manner.  As I reflected on the life and times of Stuart Scott I realized that he had an amazing way of connecting with people. Though I never met Stuart Scott I feel like he was part of my life as I studied him and have emulated his professionalism. Stuart taught us to take action and to go after our dreams while being our authentic self.  As we honor Stuart let us look at those who have made a positive impact on our lives and honor them as well. Let us take the final words of his ESPY Speech and live life full out.

stuart scott dies cancerStuart Scott’s emotional ESPYs speech about cancer & his daughtersStuart Scott is now an angel watching over us.  He showed us the importance of love, compassion, drive, and enthusiasm. He showed us all how important it is to always do your best.  Stuart Scott was more than just an award winner and a broadcaster he was a man with conviction and compassion. If we could all be half as good as Stuart Scott was we can make our world a better place.  Stuart Scott answered a calling and helped us all to come alive and reminded us all just how important it is to be of service and value.  Far beyond the face on a TV Screen Stuart Scott was a man who will always be remembered for his impact not only in The Sports Broadcasting Industry but on our society.  I am hoping that those reading this entry will honor his memory with a donation to help cancer patients and their families at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2.

Stuart Scott ESPYs Speech QuoteStuart ScottStuart Scott took up MMA Fighting as a way to train and thus make the mind, body, soul connection. While many would have thrown in the towel Stuart gave cancer a big Booyah and now he has found the cool side of the pillow. Stuart Scott taught us to battle and to never give up. Today I realize that perhaps GOD needed him more in heaven than we needed him on earth. His legacy is one of strength, inspiration, dreams, and hope. Stuart’s commitment to helping other people excel was seen in all he did from mentoring young journalists to supporting aspiring broadcasters. Stuart Scott may be gone from this earth but he is not forgotten.

Spiritual Awakening: A New Year’s Cleanse!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A New Year’s Cleanse!!!

 As I awoke today (1/1/2015) it was only fitting that it was raining outside. While some would curse the rain  and complain I took it as a sign of  cleansing to start fresh. As the rain continued to fall I thought about growth and the idea of growing and expanding personally, professionally, and spiritually.  If you are to truly expand you need to shrink first and eliminate that which no longer serves you like the rain eliminates the foliage that has died so a tree can have new life and bear fruit you must eliminate that which mo longer serves you. If you are to expand professionally you must shrink your focus to the things that will help you move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. If you have to many things to offer you may be trying to hard to be good at all of them when you can be great at a few of them. In order to expand spiritually you must shrink your focus to 1 or two principles and then master those so that you can build upon them. If you want to become proficient at meditation pick a few spiritual leaders to follow instead of trying to follow every spiritual leader out there. Pick 2 or three that truly resonate with you and study them and then apply their teachings. Instead of attending every seminar that is offered pick one or two that resonate with you. If you have a library of personal or spiritual development books that you are not using  and that can be handed on to others take a moment to clean out the library and begin to shrink down the collection and begin to apply that which truly resonates with you.

 There are many great tools to help you conduct a cleanse for The New Year. One tool I found is this Tibetan Meditation that will help you get center and focused so that you can achieve the goals that you have set forth for 2015. Each day we have an opportunity to cleanse and remove that which doesn’t serve us. Sometimes it is simply clearing our minds through meditation so that we can make better decisions  that will enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual lives.  I have found that after listening to a meditation like this I am able to evaluate many of the aspects in my life effectively as it relates to people, place, or things. If you know someone is toxic to your well being then make it a point to not associate with that person. If you know certain places are bad triggers for your personal and spiritual well being then do your best not to go to those places. If you have things in your life that are detrimental to your well being do your best to eliminate them.  The key is to understand that sometimes shrinking actually expands us personally, professionally, and spiritually.
