The news broke on Sunday morning of the passing of Jose Fernandez and 2 others in a boating accident. The world lost 3 young individuals who were being of service and value through their various platforms. An entire community mourned and looked for answers. This news left many asking fro just one more day to sped time with their loved ones who have been called home to GOD. Later in the day the news broke that Arnold Palmer had passed ad again many were saddened. As I sat in reflection of this news I began to realize that life is precious and that every moment should be cherished. Each day someone who s in your life is here on earth you should make it a point to acknowledge them and lift them so that you are not left wishing for one more day.
As I did my best to wrap my head around the passing of Jose Fernandez I began to look back on the passing of another one of my favorite baseball players, Thurman Munson, who passed on my 14th Birthday on August 2,1979. I started to understand that this is a circle of life and when GOD feels you have served your purpose here on earth he will call you home to his kingdom. As I watched the memorial for Jose Fernandez while I was working at Sinbad Sports I was in a quandary as to whether or not it was right to make money off of the tragedy of losing someone. I began to understand that it was the nature of the business that I was in and realized that with people purchasing jerseys and memorabilia it would help them through the grieving process. As I began to sell T he JoseFernandez items I realized that with each sale I was able to give a little bit of compassion to the lives of those that were impacted by Jose Fernandez. I was also reminded that I had a responsibility to be a shining light of hope and healing to those I came in contact with so that peace, love, joy, and understanding became the theme of the day. each day families across the world have to deal with the passing of those that have passed and when the passing is sudden it shakes the very core of their spirituality. It is at these times that we must realize that everything that occurs happens for a reason and the only one who truly knows why is GOD. When the passing of those that we admire come we must make sure that we carry on their legacy by bringing bliss and prosperity wherever we go. We can learn from Jose Fernandez to be joyful and grateful. We can learn from Thurman to be loving and compassionate. We can learn from those who have gone before us to be loving in all we do. It is through the trials and tribulations that we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
As I witnessed many of the events unfolding this week I began to see a lot of hate being spewed by so many people and I thought back to a campaign done by The WWE, Rise Above Hate. When we make a conscious decision through our spiritual awakening to rise above and hold a special place for everyone even those who have wronged us we can start an avalanche of positivism that leads to a world filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. When we decide to let go of issues and begin to understand that we are more alike than we are different we can rise above by helping people to become better personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when we decide to take action becoming a vessel filled with hope, compassion, and love that we will shine a bright light and illuminate the world.
Yesterday was The International Day of Peace. I believe peace day should be every day and we should do everything that we can to preserve the sanctity of life. We should make it a point everyday to rise above all challenges that are blocking us from becoming peaceful and compassionate beings. We should be looking for ways to be of service and value to others daily. Each day in order to rise above we should be looking for ways to be kind to one another. Each day is an opportunity to grow and make a positive difference in our lives and in the lives of others. I suggest that we begin to focus on the positive and to begin to encourage people to assume an attitude of gratitude. If we are truly going to rise above we need to start with being grateful.
Sometimes as you take action upon having a spiritual awakening you will find that you feel like you are out here on your own. Then one day you realize that you are not alone that you have ascended masters, GOD, Jesus, and Angels that are guiding you and bringing people into your life that will help you to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Some of these people will be people that you never expected to cross paths with. Such was the case when I met Irene Cara at the 25th Anniversary Celebration of The Movie, Fame, while I was working for The Happy Herald, a monthly newspaper that only promotes good and positive news. I had the pleasure of interviewing Irene Cara who I had long admired. After I sent her the article she sent me a photo and I realized that we both had lifted each other that day. When I feel I am alone I look for some of Irene’s Songs and I get re-energized realizing that there are many people doing good deeds and that we are all famous in GOD’S eyes.
Sometimes we will be viewed as being out there and a bit off but it is important to understand that has always been the ones perceived to be crazy that have met with success. So many ties we are so set in our effort to fit in that we forget that we were not put here on this earth to fit in but we were put here to stand out. People may look at you and perceive you to be a maniac because you decided to take action and wear a sneaker that makes a statement like my Purple Beat Cancer Chuck Taylor All Stars. You may feel you are all alone when in reality there are many that want to get involved but they haven’t found a way to do so. Through the spiritual awakening process you will find that you will become more clear in your purpose and those that perceive you to be a maniac haven’t learned to get to know you. Remember it is not your job to bring them kicking and screaming onto the path that leads to enlightenment but to simply shine your light and illuminate the world understand that when they are ready they will get on the path.
Imagine for a minute that life is made up of one big spiritual party consisting of GOD’S Great Dance Floor. The truth is that you can turn your life into one big spiritual party by becoming more aware and awake as you live your life on purpose. As you commit to become an action taker you will find that you are tapping into your inner divinity more and more and using your divine guidance system which will allow you to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. You will find yourself breaking free from the shackles that are imprisoning you and creating blockages when you begin to dance on GOD’S great dance floor. When you begin to treat life as a spiritual party you will find that bliss and abundance come into your life.
During your spiritual party you will want to praise GOD as he has allowed you to remove the chains of bondage and thus now you can dance like no one is looking and give GOD the glory for the life that GOD has helped you to manifest. If we truly praise and thank GOD and do everything to glorify GOD we can host the best spiritual party ever. The people who attend our spiritual party will be so filled with the power of spirit that they will step into their power and achieve greatness by spreading positivism and kindness to all that come in contact with them. As you host your spiritual party remember that it is is important to spread your wings and follow your heart.
There will be people like Sammy’s Boss who try to stop your spiritual party. It is important to not listen to them and to spread your wings and fly to heights that you never imagined. It is when you begin to spread your wings and step out of your comfort zone that life becomes a spiritual party. When you create your own spiritual party and understand that you are free to create the life you desire while being guided by GOD you will grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
As I begin to become more and more aware and awake through the spiritual awakening process I realize how important it is to take action and make the switch. This was very evident when on 8/19/2016 I decided to switch mobile phone carriers from Verizon to T-Mobile. I am currently in the process of finalizing this process and I have gained some excellent spiritual lessons. One lesson was that one must be patient and when things are not going well or as planned to step back take a breath and know that everything will work out. I have also learned that the attitude you bring to the process determines the outcome. In taking action and consulting the ascended masters making a switch and taking action was made that much easier. In the past I would have made every excuse not to switch and not to take action as I was coming from a position of lack. With this switch I came from a position of abundance and realized that this change would be a great benefit to me. How many times have you been hesitant to make a switch and didn’t take action leaving you to ask what might have been or what could have been. as I continue to work with my new phone I realize that change is good. It is through the awakening process that you will be able to make switching things up easier so that you continue to evolve in your personal, professional, and spiritual life.
Through the switching of carriers I have learned that you must be willing to detach and let go and allow GOD to direct you. In letting go and letting GOD you create the ability to be open to change by receiving and acting upon the messages from GOD, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels. It is being accepting of change that you remove blockages that may be holding you back from becoming the best person you can become. In accepting change and not being attached to outcome you will be able to expand mentally, physically, and spiritually. In making changes you will begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life.
As you awaken more and more spiritually you will find yourself playing the elimination game which primarily removes people, place, and things that no longer serve you. The hardest part of playing the elimination game is letting go and letting GOD. In the last few weeks I have found myself taking a step back from things that were not serving my greater good. I left my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which can still be seen on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM as after 3 years it was time to pursue other interests. I will be forever grateful to Wayne Filowitz and the staff at WRPBiTV who allowed me to have a platform where I could be of service and value to others. It was a difficult choice to eliminate the TV Show from my plate as it was an important part of providing a voice for people. I learned so much in the 3 years that I was with WRPBiTV and was able to meet some great people who became lifters. Last week I told the chairman of an event that I was simply going to be a participant in the event and do my best to fundraise. This was brought about as I decided to focus a bit more on me and my personal, professional, and spiritual development. As a result of eliminating some of my activities I have been able to focus on my work with Sinbad Sports and thus begin to do the things necessary to allow myself to be of service and value to others. When you play the elimination game ask yourself how does this serve me and how is this helping me to become the best version of myself? If you have to hesitate or think about it eliminate it.
As you begin to play the elimination game you will begin to find ways to stand out. In eliminating the people, place, and things that no longer serve you you will find that you will evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Some times it is simply a matter of distancing yourself from the people who no longer encourage you or lift you up. When you stop worrying about what others will think and you begin to face everything and rise you will see that you are standing out and more and people will be attracted to you that support your endeavors. It is when you stand out and take action to eliminate fear that you move forward in a positive direction of your dreams.
Spiritual Awakening: Stop Talking and Start Doing!!!
As you move forward and awaken spiritually there comes a time to stop the talking and take action. In taking action you leave all doubts and fear aside and you are able to move in a positive direction toward your dreams. When you stop talking and start doing you break down the barriers and clear the blockages that are stopping you from achieving the greatness that you are destined for in this life. So many time we end up making excuses and not taking action because we listen to our own negative self talk and the naysayers. Now is the time to tell that negative inner voice to shut up and start to erase all thoughts that are holding you back from manifesting the life you desire. Remember that your words have power so be very conscious of the words you are using and the effects they are having on your life. One way to stop talking and start doing is to speak life.
When you begin to take notice of what you are saying you will begin to see why things are unfolding the way they are in your life. I hear many people say I am trying and I refer to YODA from Star Wars saying there is no try you either do or you don’t. As you continue down your spiritual path take notice of the words you are saying and how they are impacting your life. I recommend that you change your thoughts and your words that are holding you back and making you feel stuck so that you can become unstoppable. Many times when you speak life and you stop talking and you start doing you will find fantastic things happening in your life. You have a power to change your life and the lives of others as you are a divine child of GOD who is being called on to stop talking and start doing.
When you experience a spiritual awakening the first thing you come to understand is that you are a powerful being capable of extraordinary things. The key is to take your words and put them into action. Together we can create a power source that will illuminate the world. We need to stop talking and start doing. It is when you tap into your divine power that you are able to put in motion all things that will assist you in creating a life that you desire. It is when you stop talking and start doing that you become powerful beyond what you ever imagined.It is when you unleash your power for the world to see that you begin to illuminate the world thus showing people that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations and that service to humanity is the best work of life. Stop listening to all the noise that is holding you back and start doing and you will see that your life will be filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. The key is to take action and have no regrets.
At the end of the day when it is all said and done it is important to have no regrets knowing you took action and followed your heart. When you stop talking and start doing you see that you have no regrets as you conceived things in you mind, believed them in your heart, and achieved them. As I reflect back on some of the things that I took action on I can say I am glad I did the things I did as when it is all said and done I can say I made a positive impact on people’s lives. It is when you decide to move right along and take action that you can look back and have no regrets.
It is when we keep moving right along surrounded by those who lift us up that we can stop talking and start doing. It is when we decide to move right along regardless of obstacles and wrong turns that we set in motion everything needed to create a life filled with bliss and abundance. There will be times when you want to stop and there may be times you want to quit. Do not give in and keep on moving right along.
Do not allow negative thoughts or negative people to stop you from taking action to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. Remember there are those that take action and those who make excuses which type of person will be?
Spiritual Awakening” JDOGG’S Gift To Help You Start Doing!!!
As I look at all the events unfolding around the world I think what can I do to become an agent of change and how can I become more and more spiritually awake? The answer came as to become an agent of change. It is time to tap into the inner divinity that lies in all of us and connect with others by being loving and caring in all we do and taking action and not allowing naysayers and negative self talk to get in the way.
If you are to change the world you first need to change yourself. You must be willing to go to the ends that no one else is willing to go. You must be willing to step into your power and through all your fears away. You must be willing to loose those who you thought were friends and overcome all the doubters.
In becoming an agent of change you must be true to yourself and be authentic understand that you are a divine child of GOD with a purpose. It is when you commit to becoming an agent of change that you will start to take actions to answer your calling and realize personal, professional, and spiritual growth. You will begin to find opportunities that you never though existed as you begin to take action to move in a positive direction of your dreams. It is when you truly believe that you can make a difference and you work at using your talents to make positive changes that your life and the lives of of others improves. Ask yourself what will I do today to become an agent of change for me and others? Ask yourself how you will show others that service to humanity is the best work of life. Start to believe in yourself and invest in yourself and you will become an agent of change.
Through the spiritual awakening process you will encounter much good and much evil as it is all part of the universal balancing act that occurs each day. What you focus on will expand thus I recommend that you rise up and promote peace, love, joy, and prosperity. Today I smiled at a group of people as I walked into Starbucks and they asked why I was smiling and I told them about a philosophy I heard from Les Brown, where he stated I woke up without a white chalk line around my body so I knew it was going to be a day. As I the group asked me about the fliers I had, which were for Sinbad Sports, a store I work for in Davie, FL. the took the fliers and we continued our dialogue and at the end wished each other a good day and said GOD Bless You. As I continued to interact with people I made it a point to say GOD Bless You. I have come to understand that part of rising up in spirit starts with the foundation in a belief that faith in GOD gives meaning and purpose to human life. In making a commitment to rise up and tale action you will set in motion events that at times seem challenging however understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it will allow you to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life while being of service and value to others. Rising up and standing for a cause can be done without anger as love conquers all and when you are loving and caring in all you do you create a vibration which vibrates at a high frequency that positivism radiates from you to others. In radiating positivism you will create positive shift in your life and in the lives of others.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Rise Up!!!
In becoming cheerful giver you will see that you will receive great rewards and find that this is a great tool to moving forward in a positive direction of your dreams.
Music is an excellent tool to remind us just how powerful we can be as it assists us in tapping into our inner divinity so that our rising up will empower and inspire others to rise up.
As I completed a meeting earlier today (6/29/2016) I had what could be considered another spiritual awakening as I realized that sometime you have to give something up to gain so much more. I was very attached to collecting donations at a special event as was told that the organizers didn’t want me to do this but that I could collect at other events that they sponsored. I had this big mental lock as I couldn’t understand why the city would say no to this but after a great discussion I changed that mental lock from resistance to acceptance and began to see the big picture. At the same time I was told that HOOTERS and Twin Peaks could not be endorsed by the 501-c-3 organization that I was working but that I could do an independent fundraiser as long as I didn’t promote it as this organizations event. I again was upset as I believe in engaging all those that want to help. I again changed a lock and opened up to where the organization was coming from and decided to simply go with the flow and follow their protocols. I will still be doing a fundraiser with Hooters in October and will be donating the money to the organization. I learned that sometimes you just have to do things the way others in perceived power want you to and follow their protocols.
It is when we change our mindset and stop thinking that our way is the best way that we can change our mental locks and grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have come to learn through all the spiritual awakenings that we must change our attitudes and latitudes so as to gain a better perspective on how we can live a life of purpose. In many cases you must be willing to change and accept that which you can not change and do the best you can with the tools you have. In changing the locks you remove blockages that may hold you back from becoming a powerful being capable of doing amazing things. Over the years I have come to understand that the way things are and they way things should be are 2 different things. In understanding this I continue to change the mental locks and change the way I do things. As I continue to expand my understanding and detaching from outcomes I continue to rise to a new level of spiritual and personal development.
