Spiritual Awakening: Honoring Your Commitments!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Honoring Your Commitments!!!!

 When the day of judgment comes and it will come for us all the one thing we will evaluated on is did we honor our commitments. On Sunday 3/23/14 I traveled to Riveria Beach to announce a basketball game for The Palm Beach Pelicans of The Central Basketball League. I did the game and was told I did an excellent job I asked the owner for payment and he told me to wait a minute and I said okay. I was at the concessions area so I couldn’t be missed. He left without paying me and when I confronted him about this he gave me a story about having to take a player to the airport. I said okay come by the WRPBiTV Studios in Boca on Tuesday and drop off the $150 that you promised to pay me. He didn’t show so I asked him again for payment and asked him to come by the studio on Thursday. Thursday came and still no money. I wrote to him and said you have left me no choice but to take this public. He then said you would take this public I said I was going to pay you.  I then thought wow here is someone who professes to own The Central Basketball League and The Palm Beach Pelicans but hasn’t honored his commitment to pay me the $150 that is owed to me. The said part about the situation is that on my way home from the game one of my tires blew out and the $150 would have come in handy to replace the tire and have my oil changed. I was also planning on donating $15 from the $150 to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I have learned that not everyone you meet will be as spiritually awake and aware as you are and that not everyone will honor their commitments. When thus happens you have to look at the lesson that was learned and decide what measures to take so others do not get taken advantage of when dealing with this person. I have prayed that the owner of The Palm Beach Pelicans sees the error in his ways and begins to honor his commitments. In taking the action to share this story it is my intention to help those on a spiritual path to protect themselves and make sure people are honoring their commitments.

 In the spiritual awakening process one discovers that the only thing that endures is your character. A coach of mine Shantel Smith taught me that how you do anything is how you do everything and this is so true as you can observe people and see how they act and if they honor commitments and if they do not you know that you are not matching up vibrationally or spiritually and that you may just need to move on and not work with that person as they no longer serve you. Sometimes character is revealed in the height of adversity for one who is willing to sacrifice to honor a commitment is the person you want to work with.

Spiritual Awakening: Hope, Healing, and Heroes!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hope, Healing, and Heroes!!!

 During the spiritual awakening process many times we may find ourselves holding out for a hero when all the time this hero lies with us. So many times we are along the path seeking hope and healing and we continue to hold out for that hero to come along and rescue us only to understand that that hope in healing comes from our becoming one with GOD and becoming our own hero.  We become heroes the minute we decide to take action to walk in our truth and shine our light bright knowing that all the answers are inside of us and contained within our own divinity. The heroic acts of others may fuel us and inspire us, however it is standing for our beliefs and being of service and value that truly makes us a hero.

 David Bowie has created what has become an anthem for many reminding us that we can be heroes. In many cases it is through our own spiritual awakening that we awaken others be it through art, music, poetry, our community service, or simple showing kindness. You can be a hero simple by supporting a cause or keeping your word and living a righteous life. In my life I have found that I have a gift for writing and when I share this gift through my poetry I not only enrich the lives of others but I also enhance my own life. In my writing it is my desire to provide hope and healing to those who read it and to be seen as a hero in their life.

Hope has become a theme of mine as evidenced by my involvement with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. My site to make donations for The 2014 Relay For Life is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina I wrote the following poem as I wanted to give hope to those who were affected by this devastating life occurrence. I then wrote Hope Prevails II to illustrate more of what was happening in the world.

Spiritual Awakening: Blow Me Up!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Blow Me Up!!!!

Today I thought of balloons and how they represent the spiritual awakening process. The balloon starts of empty and then you fill it with air, it expands, and in the end brings joy to those who encounter it. Much like the spiritual awakening process; we begin empty and as we get in tune with our spirituality we begin to expand and as we expand and adopt an attitude of positivity  we begin to bring joy to those we come in contact with and thus we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Just as it takes action to blow up the balloon it takes action to create a  world filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity.  If we are to find peace, love, joy, and prosperity we must be blown up with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. In the awakening process we may adopt anthems that represent peace, love, joy, and prosperity. We may do this with a sign that reads FREE HUGS and hang that sign with a few balloons to draw attention to it  to show those we come in contact with that day that we are walking in our truth and spreading light to all we meet.

Like the Balloon that we fill with helium with a message we must also get blown up with the spirit of the message. If our message is to be peace then we must walk out talk and be peaceful.  One way to blow yourself up is to fill yourself with the message by getting in touch with your own divinity and creating a oneness consciousness with GOD.  In finding inner peace and making the connection to GOD you will begin to create a life filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. In answering your calling and spreading your message you will change your life and lives around you by simply coming alive and blowing yourself up with spirituality.

Spirtual Awakening: Become A Shredder!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Become A Shredder!!!

tire blow out 2 1 As I stood on the side of the road on 3/23/14 after shredding my tire on my ride home after announcing a basketball game I thought as a spiritual evolved person who has experienced a spiritual awakening this must be a sign to slow down take a breath and let go. I call the State Farm Road ranger Line and the road ranger came and put the spare on. I thanked him and gave him a $5 tip. As I got into my car I prayed to GOD to deliver me home safely. I arrived home safely and the idea of shredding filled my head. I thought the tire shredding like it did was not just a sign to slow down but also a sign to shred the things that are no longer serving me.  As I pulled into The GOODYEAR today and took action to get the tire fixed I also noticed the car was due for an oil change so I decided to do the oil change. As I left and walked to Dunkin Donuts I realized that my experiences with my car are filled with many spiritual awakening lessons such as the one today in which I encourage you to become a shredder.

optimism-quotes-stay-positive-quotes-Optimism-is-a-happiness-magnet ... In shredding all the negative thoughts last night about my tire  shredding I was able to adopt my anthem of Stay Positive and thus move forward and continue to shred any negativity that may be permeating into my personal and personal life. As I began to write down any negative thoughts and then burn them so that they were released to be let go I realized that many times during our spiritual awakening process we need to shred thoughts that are creating blockages and we must be committed to becoming a shredder. In my experience with the car today I could have said wow $161 is expensive and I really don’t have that money or I could shift that thought to I am grateful to have the money to fix the car and the car will be an asset to help me to move forward in the positive direction of my goals. In shifting and shredding the negative thoughts brought on by the lack mindset I was able to see what one of my blockages has been over the years and now being awake and aware I am able to shred the past belief and go from a limiting thought pattern to an un-limiting belief system.  In shredding our past thoughts and changing the perspective we can detach from any situation and improve upon them. We have the ability to take the lemons in our life and make lemonade simply by changing our thought process and allowing things to flow. Understanding their will be trials and tribulations as we become a shredder will help us to grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding The Lessons Daily!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding The Lessons Daily!!!

romans 8 31 Each day during our spiritual awakening process we will face challenges and we will find lessons all around us. We will begin to understand the importance of embracing our divinity and becoming an action taker to enhance our divine purpose. Each day we will run into those that doubt or try to bring us down as the enemy is out there trying to take us down, however if we remind ourselves that GOD wants us to prosper and that GOD id for us then no weapon forged against us shall prosper we begin to grow personally and professionally.

quote-what-we-think-determines-what-happens-to-us-so-if-we-want-to ...What we pay attention to expands - Brenda Shoshanna - Quotes and ... One of the lessons I have learned is what we focus on expands thus if I focus on the negative encounters and speak negatively about people I will be given more negative, however if I focus on the positive encounters and speak positively about things I will be given more positivity. So many times we focus on the negative and we do not see the lesson. I thank GOD for the negative encounters because they teach me that not everyone is going to be as passionate about life and being of service and value as I am and that it is not my job to enlighten them but it is my job to shine my light and walk in my truth and when they are ready to receive they will. I have learned through the spiritual awakening process that some may never be open to receive for they have not worked through their emotional baggage  to clear blockages and move forward. Not everyone is ready to go deep inside themselves to discover their inner divinity and beauty because it takes a lot of courage to get naked with yourself and to discover how special you are. It takes an inner strength to stand up and shine your light and to walk in your truth and some are so worried about what others will think that they never step into their power and never discover their greatness.  I have found that having an anthem to remind me of the daily lessons is a very important tool to stay grounded and centered and focused on my purpose.

Spiritual Awakening: Let It Go And Let It Flow!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Let It Go And Let It Flow!!!

 As I sat in the customer service lounge at Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet in Coconut Creek, FL waiting for the recall repairs to be completed on my car I sought an outlet so I could plug in my lap top and get a few things done. I noticed a desk and I took a look around and guess what I found an outlet to plug into. I let go and just let it flow and the universe delivered what I sought so that I could be productive and continue to spread the message of staying positive through this blog and across my social media platforms.   When one becomes an action taker and releases everything to GOD the results one receives is amazing.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Let It Go And Let It Flow!!!

 

In adopting music such as these by Mandisa and Jamie Grace as anthems are great ways to get centered and grounded and thus allows us to let go and let it flow. Some would be upset about being at the car dealer all day. Instead of being upset by the fact I embraced it and found it a way to get a few thing things and by just letting go and allowing it to flow I have been able to remain at peace. As a result of using music I have been able to detach and as a result I have become more connected to source and more aware of my purpose. As a result of allowing GOD to guide me I have felt less stress and been able to accomplish several goals and objectives that I set for myself. Music is an excellent tool to help you let go and let it flow.

Spiritual Awakening: The Importance Of Detachment!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Importance Of Detachment!!!

In  the spiritual awakening process there is a strategy that enhances the process and allows you to become more aware and awake, that process is the process of letting go or detachment.  The importance of detachment is that it allows you to move freely throughout life as you combine your human existence with your spiritual experience. When you take action and come from a position of detachment you will begin to see that when we do not focus on the desired outcome and do not force things to happen the majority of the time we will receive the desired outcome.  When we become detached from the emotional boundaries in the situations that we encounter we are able to allow spirit to guide us and thus understand that all things are in divine order just the way they are meant to be.

 When we detach from the expected result and begin to understand that the way things should be and the way things are is  a vastly different concept that often derails us. To combat this derailment we must go inside of ourselves and become detached from judgment and projection.  It is when we detach from the emotional charges and breath that we find ourselves being more creative and more successful. When we begin to become comfortable in who we are we start to grow in mind, body, and spirit thus we enhance ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spirituality. When we detach from the thought of what will others think or say and understand there is only one power to answer to and that power is GOD. God has a divine plan for us and that is the plan we should be attached to all the other plans are plans to become detached from. GOD will supply us with the messages and the tools to stay connected to the purpose he has for us and to discern and detach from plans that take us off his desired path. In many cases it is important to understand and just go with GOD and not question.  In detaching from the expectations of others and answer the calling from GOD you will continue with the spiritual awakening process and thus stay on the path to spiritual enlightenment that will lead to ascension.  As you detach and change not for anyone else but for you and GOD you will begin to come alive. When you come alive the community will see you and want to  help you.

Spiritual Awakening: Trip To Art Show Teaches Lesson!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Trip To Art Show Teaches Lesson!!!

 It was with the best of intentions that I ventured out to The Coral Springs Festival Of The Arts. My thinking was a festival with many people what a great opportunity to fuel my passion for helping those affected by cancer and collect donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I arrived found a parking spot, went tot he bank to get some cash, and then began asking people for donations. Things were going great I bumped into a former city council member who introduced me to the entertainment person who allowed me to make an announcement about what I was doing for Relay For Life. I encountered some friends from the past who were there and they donated. A local chiropractor made a $20 donation. I stationed myself strategically where people were walking and announced that I was collecting donations for Relay For Life, mot people were very receptive. Then it happened the moment that took all of my lessons on spiritual awakening. The President of The Coral Springs Festival Of The Arts came to me and was very adamant about me not collecting. I did not argue and I said “Okay I will leave,” she kept going on so I ended it with do you want good publicity or bad publicity, she did not answer so I walked away.  As part of my spiritual awakening I have learned not to argue and give people something to think about so they can grow personally and professionally. As I walked back to my car I realized another aspect that I have learned, Some Will, Some Won’t, So What, Some Waiting, Next. As I drove home I thanked GOD for providing me with 2 hours to collect donations and I prayed for The President of The Coral Springs Festival Of The Arts. that the next time someone wants to collect for a charity that she allows them to do so as there is enough money in the universe for everyone.  I also thanked GOD for putting people in front of me who supported my effort today. In the end $62 was collected, which now puts me at $1,371 raised for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton. In being an action taker and following spirit I was able to learn that some people may not understand the universal laws of spirituality. I have learned it is not my job to drag them pulling and screaming into the spiritual awakening process it is my job to shine my light and walk my truth and thus enhance the lives of those I come in contact with.

managing your new year s resolutionsThrough my experience today I had to remember that I resolved to make 2014 The Year Of Transformation and that in transforming I must accept that the enemy will put obstacles along the path to spiritual awakening and it is important to continue to walk with spirit and resolve to not take anything personally, don’t judge, to be impeccable with my word, and to always do my best. These are the teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz and The Four Agreements. I also had to use the teaching of The Serenity Prayer of God Grant me the serenity to change the things I can to accept the things I can’t and the wisdom to know the difference. Today I was not going to change the mind of The President Of The Coral Springs Festival Of The Arts and arguing with her would have been like wrestling a pig in the mud where you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. In accepting that this individual was given power and chose to wield it the way she did was about her and not me.

Spiritual Awakening: Shine Your Light!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Shine Your Light!!!!

 As I was listening to REACH FM today on my way to The Car Dealership I heard a song about learning to shine your light. As I listened to the lyrics I thought how many people need a quick reminder to shine their light. So many tines we get caught up in our human existence that we lose sight of our purpose and that is to shine our light and walk in our truth for others to see so that they will be inspired and empowered to shine their light. As I stopped to collect donations for Relay For Life and to promote my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM I asked GOD to give me the proper energy to shine my light. He did and upon walking into the barber shop to seek donations and invite them onto my TV Show I felt a shift of energy and a confidence come over me. The gentlemen not only donated they liked my quick intro about their shop that they took out their phones and made a quick promo video. It was quite the enlightening experience as I realized that if I shine my light and am authentic I create a ripple effect of positivity that enriches the personal and professional lives of those I come in contact with.

 As I left the barber shop and finished the rounds at the shopping plaza I began to think ready or not here I come. This Britt Nicole song reminds us that ready or not it is time to take our message out to those who are waiting to hear it. Sometimes through our spiritual awakening we may not feel ready but we reach down deep inside ourselves and we unleash our message thus shining our light so bright that we attract he proper people who are meant to help us further our mission. In discovering your mission you begin to shine your light everywhere and your passion comes through and the world is a better place.

 In shining your light it is important to give praise to the person who makes it all possible. You can call this person Jesus, GOD, Source, Spirit, Allah, Yehova, Yeshua, or Higher Self, whatever you call that person remember it is that person who allows you to shine your light. In shining your light and walking your truth you will give permission to others to do the same and thus you  will be part of a global shift toward positivity. The enemy will put up roadblocks and try to discourage you. It is when you face these roadblocks and shine your light that you are able to continue to be an action taker and  create the change you want in this world.

 When you shine your light and you show others your light you begin to encounter positive experiences that will help you to grow personally, spiritually, and emotionally.  I had declared 2014 as The Year Of Transformation and one aspect to make this transformation possible is a commitment to shine your light.  The light you have inside is meant to be shared as you are here to be a lifter and an encourager. In shining your light you allow others to shine theirs and soon the whole world lights up.

When you are a lifter and an encourager you can help people to keep smiling and to keep shining. In finding opportunities to shine your light you will find that you begin to expand your spiritual horizons and your path and purpose becomes more clear  and thus you begin to easily manifest what you are seeking.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools And Resources To Help You Shine Your Light!!!

 When you encounter doubters along your path to spiritual awakening remember the best tool you can have is a BIBLE, basic instructions before leaving earth. I was out collecting donations for The Relay For Life one day with a canister in one hand and my bible in the other, I walked into a store and the man behind the counter asked me what the book was and I said it is my BIBLE, he responded you have a weapon. He then proceeded to ask everyone to put something in the canister. The BIBLE serves as the most awesome tool you can have when your desire is to shine your light and walk in your truth.

you read Let Your Light Shine, Angel Messages of Healing, Love & Light ...51rWBQQ09CL._SL500_AA300_.jpg Books are great tools if we apply what we have read and are truly committed to shining our light and walking in our truth.

 Songs such as Heartlight by Neil Diamond serve as tools to help us get centered and grounded and thus become anthems for us to shine our light.

As you answer your calling & come alive by shining your light remember that the key to awakening is remembering you are a divine child of GOD with a purpose to enhance the quality of people’s lives while you are hear on earth. It is your duty to follow your dreams & to help others to excel. In the end all that will matter will be the lives that were positively touched because you had the courage to shine your light. As you stay positive, remember that the only one you have to answer to is GOD. POSITIVELY SHINE!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Stepping Back To Step Forward!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Steeping Back To Step Forward!!!

 In basketball as in the spiritual awakening process many times you have to take a step back in order to move forward. In my years of announcing basketball I have seen many a team take a step back and then adjust to either keep the game close of to go on to win the game. This is very similar to the spiritual awakening process as the bad influences that are trying to take us down are playing touch defense and we feel they aren’t allowing us to move forward. In basketball it is the job of the defender to prevent us from making the shot, it is our job to find ways to make the shot. In our spiritual awakening the enemy will give us distractions and challenges and it is our job to defeat the enemy by staying on our path that leads to spiritual enlightenment. It is our job to stay so committed to our awakening that nothing the enemy throws at us will defeat us.  With the small steps backwards to look things from a different perspective we are able to adjust and take a few steps forward and thus stay on our path.

 The small steps backward serve as lessons to propel us forward. We have all had disappointments or felt less than until we realized we are enough and if we are following our heart everything works out the way the universe intended it to. In life we have to lose sometimes so that we are put in a position to win. In the losing we learn and thus we grow personally and professionally.  In following the messages that tell us to step back and regroup we create an opportunity to move forward. In realizing that we may not resonate with everyone and that those intended to support our mission or follow our message will come to us when the timing is right.

 It is in learning for the past and stepping back for a moment that we are able to live in the present and look toward the future. I have learned over time that you can not change what happened but you can change how you reacted to it so that in the present moment you are aware and awake and as a result you begin to find the proper perspective that will allow you to stay focused, grounded, and centered on your mission.  In stepping back and looking introspectively at ourselves we begin to find what our divine purpose is and what we are being directed to do to embrace this calling.
