Spiritual Awakening: Good Til The Last Drop!!!
As I was sipping on a frapuccino at Starbucks I was savoring it until the last drop and then I remembered the commercial for Maxwell House and started to think how important it is to embrace our spiritual awakening and savor it until the last drop. We never know when the last drop of our life will be sipped however until then it is important for us to savor every moment and to suck the marrow out of life until we are called home to GOD.
In sucking the marrow out of life and living until the last drop we are called to take action so as know that we answered our calling and made a positive impact during our time on earth. Many times we get stuck in a routine and we stop moving in a positive direction of our dreams that we stop savoring things until the last drop. Now is the time to commit to savoring things til the last drop and appreciating the moments that we are creating in our lives. I have adopted and anthem of making every moment count so that at the end of the day I can say yes to the questions if I lived the day in joy and if I brought joy to others. It is when you take the time to savor things until the last drop that you will find much to be grateful for as you continue on your spiritual path. Take time to enjoy the last drop. Sometimes you simply have to make a move and dare to be different.
It is when you move and commit to making a change that you can begin to enjoy all that the cup of life has to offer and you can savor it until the last drop. It is in detaching from outcomes and expectations that you can truly savor all the flavors that are in the cup of life until the last drop. Now is your time to pursue your purpose and live your life knowing the reason that you are here.
One of the best days of your life is when you find your purpose and you begin to live your life on purpose. It is when you live a life of purpose that you grow personally and professionally. Not everyone will resonate with the way you do things however those who are vibrating on a higher frequency will be attracted to you and help you to savor life until the last drop. You will face challenges and there will be times that you feel you can not control the situation but you must remember you can control every situation you encounter. One of the greatest ways to savor life until the last drop is to live by The Four Agreements.
When we are living life until the last drop we must evolve spiritually understanding that not everyone is going to be on your level and not everyone is going to do the things the way you do. It is important to simply be your authentic self and let things play out the way GOD has intended them to as his plans are far greater than our own. It is when we face everything and rise that we truly grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Many times we simply must commit to face our pain and face everything and rise understanding that if GOD brought us to it that GOD will bring us through it. So many times we get caught up in the trappings of our human existence that we forget that we have the power within us to make a positive change and thus live life until the last drop. Many times we get stuck in a job that we took because of the necessity to have income to pay bill because we can not go to our creditors and say I am doing great things and helping many people can I have a free place to live.When we find this happening we must make time to get centered, focused, and grounded so that we vibrate at a higher level allowing us to become more evolved. I recently committed to being my authentic self and having fun in anything that I do and if this rubs people the wrong way than so be it because at the end of the day the only entity you should have to answer to is GOD.
Live your life to the fullest until the last drop so that you are not left wanting to have one more day. Tell those you care about how you appreciate them today. Namaste!!!
In the last 13 months I have come to realize that most of the reason that I am in the position that I am in is due to the fact that for 40 plus years I have put helping others in front of helping myself. I found myself justifying this by thinking I was meeting a spiritual responsibility by being of service and value to others, which is important however if you can not help yourself you will not be able to help others. I was justifying what I was doing by thinking well I am taking action and helping other people to excel when in reality this was hindering me because I was not making my physical, mental, and spiritual well being a priority. It was when I awakened to the spiritual principles of putting myself first and connecting to GOD that things began to turn around. Though I am still a bit financially challenged and have set up a donation page at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more I know things will improve as I put myself first and take action as directed by GOD. In calling upon GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels for guidance to put myself 1st I have found myself gaining more clarity in my personal, professional, and spiritual life. In discovering the power of putting myself first I have been able to detach from outcomes and simply live in the moment knowing that GOD put me here to serve my community by answering my calling to come alive and to effectively make the changes I can as I live a spiritual life in my human form. In putting myself I have been able to pursue some of my dreams while putting many of the emotions that used to hold me back aside. 
Today’s (6/7/2019) entry is dedicated to my DAD, Jack Lederman, who was called home to GOD on June 7,2018. My DAD taught me the importance of living for today. At the beginning of each month he would take action and pay the bills and inform me well we are good for another month. When my DAD passed I was devastated emotionally and didn’t know what would happen next. DAD passed without a will and I still haven’t done the probate paperwork as I have been scrambling to keep the condo, pay bills, and eat. I have set up a GO FUND ME PAGE at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and more and thanks to the generosity of others I have been able to get by and move forward in my efforts to be of service and value to others. As Father’s Day approaches my gift to my DAD will be living for the day making sure that I live my life in joy and that my life brings joy to others. Every day I have thought about my DAD as something has come up that has triggered a memory. Tonight (6/7/2019) I will watch The NBA Finals and I will think of how my DAD would watch games together and how many times he would encourage me to do a play by play or game analysis and then he would say where have I heard that before as the broadcaster would say what I had said a few moments earlier. The passing of my DAD into the spiritual realm we refer to as heaven has been a spiritual awakening of sorts as I have come to realize that you can live for today but you must also plan for the future and let go of the past in order to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In living for today you begin to seize the opportunities that are presented to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. 
Today (5/5/2019) is your opportunity to commit to becoming an action taker and to go up up and away as you enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you become more and more spiritually aware and awake you will see that you control how high your balloon will soar and the only one that can ground your balloon is you. When you commit to going up up and away you will begin to find resources appearing to help you reach the heights that you desire. In deciding to take action to go up up and away and answer your calling you will experience change as you come alive while being of service and value to your community. In deciding to take that life changing balloon ride you will find yourself manifesting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. 
As I sat down to write this blog today (5/31/2019) I started to think that we are all limited editions with a cream filling inside as we are divine children of GOD with a hard exterior that covers our soft inside. How many times do we look at someone and wonder what is on the inside? Many times we see people who appear to be strong on the outside when in reality they are putting on a strong front as they face some inner demons that are stopping them from evolving in their personal, professional, and spiritual lives. How many times as a child were we told be strong but not really shown how to be strong? It is hard to be strong when you are experiencing anxiety and depression. People say why are you depressed or what do you have to worry about when they don’t know the angst that you are experiencing. In order to find out what is on the inside we must go through some trials and tribulations so that we can bloom into the person that GOD intends us to become. 
The 2018 football season started off slow for The Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs as they began the year 0-2 and then in what could be viewed as a spiritual awakening the team got together and decided that they needed to buy into what the coaches had put up as a motto which was #1815 meaning playing 15 games in 2018 which would mean they made it to the state championship game. The team despite some key injuries would go on a 13 game winning streak and bring home The State 5A Football Championships. In looking back at the 2018 season I found a lesson in spirituality which I titled down but not out. In football as long as there is time on the clock there is a chance to win. In life as long as you are breathing there is a chance for victory over your demons.
