Spiritual Awakening: Creating A Beautiful Life!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Creating A Beautiful Life!!!

 

 As I sat in my local Starbucks preparing to write this entry I cam across this song by Mercy Me and it inspired me to write this entry to help my readers to create a beautiful life. When you experience a spiritual awakening you begin to see everything differently. You begin to realize that you have the power and ability to create a beautiful life. You become awake and you begin to take action and that action leads to the realization that you have a beautiful life. You start to embrace anthems for yourself and this keeps you centered and grounded as you create a beautiful life. This spiritual awakening puts into motion the resources you seek to love yourself and shine your light. It is when you commit to creating a beautiful life that you begin to attract beautiful things into your life. It as like Dr. Wayne Dyer says “When you change your thoughts you change your life.” It is when you shift to be appreciative and grateful that you begin to create a beautiful life.  You can read all the books and attend many seminars, however if you are to create a beautiful life you must apply what you have read and what you have learned.

 Mike’s Chair reminds us to stop and appreciate what we have as a beautiful life is unfolding right before us and if we take a moment we can create a better life for ourselves and others. If we answer our calling and find our purpose and shine our light we create a beautiful life for ourselves and others. When we share our message or take a moment to share with someone we not only touch their life but we also improve ours. It is in the creation of our beautiful life that we give others permission to create their beautiful life.

Spiritual Awakening: Taking Out The Trash!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Taking Out The Trash!!!

 

 As a child I watched Sesame Street and was very intrigued by Oscar The Grouch. Oscar was happy to live in his garbage can and accumulate stuff. There was one episode in which Bob and Maria help Oscar get rid of some of his stuff. At first he didn’t want to but then when we realized he didn’t need some of what he had accumulated he began to throw it out. At the end of the episode he appeared to be happier.  Oscar reminds me of many people who have had a spiritual awakening and continue to grow spiritually and personally because they have accepted the fact they have trash and are removing it. The trash we have  can be emotional baggage from past occurrences or  actual physical possessions that for some reason we continue to hold onto.

Spiritual Awakening: Strategies For Taking Out The Trash!!!

 When it comes to your physical trash make some piles keep, throw away. The keep pile should be the things that serve you. The throw away is for those things that no longer serve you. As you go through your stuff make your decisions and stick to it. When you take action you begin to move forward in your journey as you will feel better and less cluttered.

Spiritual Awakening: The Fantastic 4!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Fantastic 4!!!

     

 When most of us think of The Fantastic 4 we think of the 4 characters of this superhero group, Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and Thing. They all had amazing powers and when they came together to take action for good some great things happened. They all struggled with who they were and had a difficult time coming to grips with who they were becoming. In a way they were on a spiritual journey of discovery and awakening. When they awoke and saw what they could accomplish together they spread a message of hope to the world. Though they were fictional characters there message resonates with many of us today as we can be like them figuratively speaking of course.

 We can all be like Mister Fantastic and stretch our body and mind and dig into our soul to find out who we truly are and answer our calling and be of service and value to others. We can learn how to use our power for the benefit of others.

 We can use the traits of The Invisible Women to receive the messages from the universe as we disappear for a few moments to get away from things and not be seen and then reappear with answers that show others that service to humanity is the best work of life. We can go to our sacred place and cloak ourselves in awareness and when we come out of the sacred space be centered and grounded to make a positive difference in our life and the lives of others.

 We can be like The Torch and find the fire that burns in us, our passion, and take action thus finding success. We can take what burns down deep inside of us, our divinity, and embrace it and share it with others recognizing their divinity and thus creating a positive shift in our society so as to allow people to reach their full potential. We can be like The Torch and conduct a Burning Bowl Ceremony to eliminate any negative emotional charges that may be holding us back and stopping us from stepping into our power and embracing our greatness.

 We can all be like The Thing and find our inner strength and learn to harness it so that when it is used it is of benefit to all we come in contact with. We can learn to take our anger and change it to joy thus creating instead of destroying. We can unleash this power to make the world a better place.

Spiritual Awakening: Come Together!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Come Together!!!!

 

 As I was looking for the inspiration for today’s entry a message kept repeating itself to me and then I found this Beatles song, Come Together. It has become an  anthem for those who understand that when you work together you accomplish more. The idea that 1+1 = 3 is that you take me with my idea and I take you with your idea and together we come up with another idea. I am often asked JDOGG, why is it you collaborate so much with others and my answer is always because together everyone accomplishes more. It is when you awaken spiritually and understand that every person you come in contact with has something they can offer that is when you have your most success. Instead of writing someone off because they don’t drive a fancy car, or live in an expensive home, or have what you consider to be a lot of money, think what do they know that can help me? It is when we make the conscious effort to look beyond the materialistic possessions and look at the spiritual possession that we achieve an awakening to a higher calling that paves the way for success.  Many speak of what they will do while others take action and do it. Many will sit in judgment and miss out on valuable relationships because they are quick to dismiss the other person.  It is when you come together and are open to receive and answer your calling that you can make a change in your life and in others.

 When was the last time you walked up to someone at a networking event and said Hello, I just wanted to tell you I  like your style or Hello, thanks for taking the time to come to this event, tell me a little about yourself. For my friends that I see on a regular basis I will often walk up and say Hello, Give me a hug, I love your way. Making people feel important is a key in coming together. Creating a sense of community by coming together from a position of love and gratitude will enhance your personal and professional life and the lives of others. There is a saying Teamwork Makes The Dream Work, think about it you work together for the common good and everyone involved benefits in someway.

Spiritual Awakening: Doing It Your Way!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Doing It Your Way!!!

 

 Today’s entry was inspired by Frank Sinatra’s song I Did It My Way. As I listened to the lyrics I began to think of spiritual awakening and how each person comes to their own awakening in their own way. I have become an action taker as that is my way and I find that when I take action I feel better and enhance the mind, body, soul connection. We are all unique individuals with our own way of doing something. I believe that you can do what works for you as long as it doesn’t harm anyone.  In finding our way we may turn to resources such as movies and books like The Peaceful Warrior that teaches that we can
win our internal battle by embracing our divinity:

 By internalizing these quotes and taking action we can answer our calling and affect change in our lives and thus enhance the lives of others. It is when you come alive on the inside and embrace your divinity that you become your authentic self and find your purpose. In finding your purpose you can step into your power and being more comfortable in doing it your way.

Spiritual Awakening: Making Memories!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Making Memories!!!

 Today I was thinking about spiritual awakening and that each time we walk our path and each time we shine our light that we are making memories. It is in documenting the memories that we begin to grow and learn for we can see the good times and the challenging times. When we face the challenging times and come through them then we are able to share our story with others and inspire and empower others to take action. We can so it through songs like this by Warrant and create anthems to live by or be awakened by. Sometimes we try to go back to the way we were and then we realize that there is no going back, however any positive memories can be used to drive us forward and make our experiences brighter as we answer our calling.

 As I watched this video I was reminded that we all have a power to inspire and empower and to create memories and leave a legacy for others. It is stepping into this power that we truly expand and impact the lives of those we come in contact with and beyond. It is creating and coming alive that we begin to leave memories that will enhance the lives of others.  In many cases we will be able to pay tribute to those who helped us create these memories. Today hug a loved one if you can and if they are far away visit www.feelthehugs.com and send them a virtual hug. If the person who helped you to create memories is deceased step outside into nature find a quiet place and thank them. As you sit in silence showing gratitude you will receive messages that will assist you in creating more memories.

 As Jim Croce teaches us that many times all we have are photographs and memories, however sometimes the photographs are lost and all that we have are the mental pictures of the way things were. In loss the greatest of photos you realize just how important your memories are.

 Many times we can take a moment to put on a song like this from Barbara Streisand, take out our pad and start to free write and thus create a legacy for others so they see who we were and what we did. In making memories we begin to touch lives, and show people that dreams can come true. We shine our light and others see our light and become inspired to create memories and as these memories are encrypted into our brains we draw on them to propel us forward on our journey to create those memories.
 

 As the day progresses be glad and rejoice in it making memories.

 

 As you make memories let them be positive and beneficial to all people. Remember what you do for others lives long after you are gone so leave a good memory.

Spiritual Awakening: A Breakthrough At Starbucks

Spiritual Awakening: A Breakthrough At Starbucks!!!

 As I sat in my local Starbucks on a rainy afternoon today (6/13/13) I overheard a women talking about promotions thus I walked over and introduced myself. It turns out she was a spiritual healer. Her name is Catherine and she is amazing she took time to help me and we made a breakthrough as I was able to utter the words I am aggressive and that is okay. She was able to hone in on the fact that I am holding a lot of my past inside and that until I release these emotions I will continue to go in circles. Thus I take the time to ask those that I may have hurt with my words and actions to forgive me. As I continue on my spiritual path to awakening I learn more and more about who I am. I realize I must first know who I am before I can help others.

Part of the breakthrough happens when we realize that it is fear that holds us back. For me it is a fear of what others will think about me and the fear that success and fame may change me. As I begin to embrace and accept this I am able to make a very positive shift. I share this with you so that you can continue on your spiritual journey and make the necessary shifts for your spiritual awakening.

Spiritual Awakening: The Sounds Of Silence!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Sounds of Silence!!!!

  When I saw Susy Foltz’s post on face book about the word listen having the same letters as silence I immediately thought of The Simon and Garfunkel song, Sounds and Silence and that inspired me to write this post as our answers are found in silence. When was the last time to shut everything off and sat in silence just listening to the surroundings around you?  It is when we shut off the exterior things in our life that we are able to find the answers in our own interior. No outside source can provide you the depth that you are seeking that comes from the divinity that you hold inside yourself. It is when you set aside what I call me time to meditate and breathe that you can sort all types of issues out and become centered and grounded while you continue to focus on the purpose you have discovered you have through your spiritual awakening.

 After a seminar I taught today (6/11/13) a few participants asked me what I do to get centered and balanced and I showed them that I stand with my feet at shoulder width, my hands open and I say “I am a focused, strong, driven divine child of GOD who releases that which does not serve him.” and then I simply breathe and repeat that phrase. They tried it and said wow what a great tool to have. This tool came to me through source when I asked for something to help me deal with tough situations. It came to me in a silent moment of seeking. Imagine if you did this before each interaction you were going to have how your results might change.  Today make it a point to find a place to hear the sounds of silence.

Spiritual Awakening: Celebrating Life!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Celebrating Life!!!

 

  As the time ticked down to zero last night (6/8/13) and The Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Team finished their season undefeated one thought came into my mind Celebrate Life! Celebrate the fact that you were part of something special as the pubic address announcer. As I awoke this morning (6/9/13) I looked out the window and saw it was a nice sun shining day in Sunrise, FL again my thought was to celebrate life. As I was thinking about what to write to help those who have had a spiritual awakening and to assist those who are seeking a spiritual awakening message from source was clear to write about celebrating life.

Spiritual Awakening: Following Your Passion!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Following Your Passion!!!

 

 

Today I was reflecting on the time I met and interviewed Irene Cara. In 1980 at age 15 I watched her in The Movie Fame and said I am going to meet her one day and guess what in  2005 during The 25th Anniversary Party for  The Movie Fame at The Fort Lauderdale Film Festival I met and interviewed her for The Happy Herald.  As I reflected on this experience the topic for today’s entry came, Follow Your Passion. How many times have people not done so and have regrets because they didn’t take action.  If you are truly passionate about something take action to follow that passion because Passion + Action = Success. Do not let people tell you that you are not good enough. There are so many examples of people who have followed their passion despite being told they weren’t good enough. Imagine what the gentleman who told The Beatles they weren’t ready for a record deal must be thinking today. If you are passionate about something take the steps to follow that passion and you will find success.

 When I told people that I was going to meet Irene Cara one day they thought I was a bit off, but then again I have never really fit into anyone’s box. This photo hangs on my wall in my house signed by Irene to remind me that dreams do come true and if you put the proper energy into your passion more dreams will come true. What is your passion? What action are you taking to follow your passion?
