The theme of the day today (4/30/2019) seems to be living life like a boss. I was out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and was refereed to as boss on a few occasions. I then stopped by Dunkin Donuts and the cashier kept calling me boss. I then saw the newest campaign for The American Cancer Society and thought there must be something to living life like a boss. The first step to living life like a boss is to have confidence.
When you find your confidence and become spiritually awake you will find that living a life of purpose becomes easier thus allowing you to live your life like a boss. As you continue on your spiritual path you will find that if you go confidently in the direction of your dreams you will be shown the way to live your life like a boss. In living your life like a boss you will find that being of service and value to others plays a major role. I have found that by showing the service to humanity is the best work of life that I am rewarded for GOD loves a cheerful giver. In becoming a cheerful giver GOD will allow you to live your life like a boss.
As you awaken spiritually it is important to see who is coming to your spiritual table. It is important to make sure the people coming to your spiritual table have your best interest in mind and will be of service and value to you. Many times in our human existence we allow people to come to our spiritual table that are toxic and thus they contaminate the entire table with their negative energy.
When you hear the words brace for impact it normally conjures up the image that something bad is about to happen. How many of you when your read the headline thought oh no here comes a bad story? Well I am here to tell you that this is not a bad story but a story about personal, professional, and spiritual growth. I chose the title as a result of reviewing videos of me announcing sporting events, emcee charitable events, interview people for a TV Show that I used to host, and some speeches I delivered. I was reflecting and then began to read comments and began to understand the impact that I have been making by being of service and value to others. Despite some setbacks over the years I have been able to move forward and positively impact the lives of others. Though I may not have gotten recognition for this impact I know in my heart that I took the proper action to show people that service to humanity is the best work of life.
Spiritual Awakening: Spiritual Enticement And Seduction!!!
Can I interest you in a dose of Spirituality? This is not a question that usually entices many people nor does it lead to seduction so the question is how do we find a better way to bring people onto a spiritual path so that they can maximize their potential and evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. We begin by filling ourselves with the love of GOD and we share it with others because love is thicker than water and love is the answer.
When we do things with great love we open up channels to receive and thus we become more able to entice people and seduce people with the sharing of spirituality. It is when we show love that we receive love. Today (4/16/2019) I went to see Bishop Johnson to help in with his business and also to record some spot for Changing Your Life Ministries and I was rewarded with a plethora of bread. In becoming an action taker coming from a position of love I have experienced first hand the love of GOD manifested in the form of money, food, shelter, and clothing. It is when we put love in our heart and understand that this is the day the lord hath made and it is our responsibility be glad and rejoice in it that we attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our life. It is when we let go and let GOD that we get more and enticed and seduced into being positive in our effort to be of service and value to others.
Over the last few days I have been thinking about FIRE as I was told that I am a fire sign. I heard many songs about fire through out the weekend and began to wonder about FIRE and its spiritual meaning. Today (4/15/2019) The news about The Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burning came across my timeline and I thought wow what is the message being sent and what actions do I need to take.
As we find the ways to use our fire for good we will find ourselves bringing more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. In acting on the fire that is inside in a constructive way we will be able to be of more service and value to others as we fan the flames so that our light shines bright and the world is illuminated. I was asking myself why would GOD allow fores to break out in sacred places like The Notre Dame Cathedral? The answer that came to me was so as to bring attention to a sacred space and to give us a wake up call that if we do not come together as a society that eventually our society will burn up and GOD will simply create a new one. I was asking myself why would GOD allow people to destroy temples, mosques, and churches? The answer I received was sometimes we need to burn things down so as to rebuild and recreate so as to move forward in our spiritual development so as to awaken us to how powerful GOD is and to be reminded that it is not about the materialistic possessions but what we possess spiritually. In many cases the message is that it is time to start a new and rebuild so that you become better than you were before. There is a time we need to put the fire out as it can cause damage and there is time to allow the fire to burn as it ignites a flame to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Knowing when to keep the fire burning and when to put it out will help you as you continue your spiritual journey toward enlightenment.
When you experience a spiritual awakening you will begin to understand that when your flow is based on peace, love, joy, and prosperity your ability to create the life you desire will become easier as you go from a lack mentality to an abundance mentality. In order to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually you need to be aware of your flow meter. In becoming aware and awake you will be able to measure your flow based on the way your body feels for when your flow is good you will find that you don’t have blockages however when your flow is off you will find that you may experience physical pain and mental anguish. The question is what to do when your flow is off and you feel disconnected? The answer is to take a moment to breathe and get reconnected to GOD, Jesus, Source, and Spirit. As you check your flow meter remember to take action to increase your vibrations to a higher level of resonance thus allowing you to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. When you feel that your flow is low stop for a moment and consult with GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels so that you are guided to move in a positive direction while continuing on your spiritual path. Sometimes it is better to simply rest and relax when your vibration is at a low frequency than to go out into the world for you ability to increase your flow may be compromised and as a result your human side interferes with your spiritual side and you make a poor decision that makes a situation worse. In many cases we get so wrapped up in the way thing should be that we forget that there are somethings best left alone as it is not our job to drag people onto our path. It is our job to go down our path and be guided by GOD and let others see our positive actions so that when they are ready to get on the path they will be ready. If we are to keep our flow meter on high we need to become action takers and awakening to our calling so that we can effectively change our community. When we check our flow meter we are able to take the steps necessary to stay on track or to get back on track to fulfill the purpose that GOD has set before us. As for me I believe my purpose is to be of service and value to others.
Today one of my demons reared its ugly head in the form of anger and aggressiveness. Once the dust cleared I had a spiritual awakening that I need to put all the anger that has built up inside of me over the last 10 months behind me and turn back to GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels and allow them to guide me to a life filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity. I learned that as righteous as I may want to be be it is not my job to be the morality police and that it is better to simply let others that are in a position of enforcement to take care of things. I have always believed if you see an injustice being done and you do nothing you are just as guilty as the person committing the injustice however after today’s encounter I was further awakened to the fact that they way things are and the way things should be are two different things. I have learned that there are some people who are simply oblivious to doing the right thing and some people are just straight out mean. Today (4/9/2019) I encountered good and bad as I was at Starbucks and asked 2 ladies if I could share their table only to be cursed out in a foreign language then a lady saw what was happening and said come here and plug in. It turns out this lady was studying child psychology and we had a nice interaction. This gave me back the belief that there are some good people in this world. I then checked out www.relayforlife.org/sunrisetamaracfl and saw that the fundraising thermometer rising which again restored my belief that service to humanity is the best work of life. It was at that point I asked GOD for forgiveness and guidance to face down my demons and to become a positive action taker where I actions would positively impact the live of others.
Spiritual Awakening: Stepping Back To Move Forward!!!
As many of the regular readers of this blog are aware I am very involved with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2019 marks my 21st year as a participant in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I decided to take a step back this year and simply be a participant and to focus on my fundraising and as a result I have raised $3951 so far to help plant the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer by funding research, education, advocacy, and services. In stepping back and letting others take on leadership roles I have been able to move forward. Sometimes we simply have to take a look at something from a different perspective to see how it serves us so that we can mover forward in our quest to be spiritually aware and awake. I learned some valuable lessons in the last 10 months and the most important lesson that I learned was that you don’t always have to be the center of attention. I also have learned to go where you are celebrated and not just tolerated. I have also learned that not everyone is going to share my passion and that is okay. In stepping back and detaching from expectations I have been able to attract more peace, joy, love, and prosperity into my life.
I am sharing the following standings for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life as of 6:00 PM today (4/8/2019) as to illustrate what happens when you simply let people do their thing on their terms and step back. When you simply find your lane and stay in your lane becoming laser focused you will find that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Did you notice the date today (4/1/19)? Yes it is April Fools Day however now is the time to stop the foolishness that has been creating blockages in your life. It is time for you to take ownership of where you are and where you want to be and to awaken spiritually to take the action needed to manifest the life that you want. It is time to surround yourself with people who will take you serious and support you in your effort to be of service and value to others. When you encounter foolishness you need to take a deep breathe and hold a special space for the person being foolish and then move forward in a positive direction of your goals and dreams. It is time to walk in your truth and stay connected to GOD so that you can continue to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Sometimes we have to go deep inside and find out what is attracting this foolishness to us.
I have had this though many times over the last 9 months as I am dealing with the loss of my DAD and not having steady work. I have had my share of foolishness with people saying oh I want you to do my voice over for my book but I can’t pay you to oh thanks for coming and announcing for me can I pay you next week. I say it is time to stop the foolishness and surround yourself with people who value you. It is time to go where you are celebrated and not just tolerated. I had a women the other when asked to visit www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more and make a donation that if I am in debt why am I raising money for The American Cancer Society. I explained that by helping others you open up the channels to receive help for your self. It is amazing to me that many people simply do not get it. I have others tell me oh get a job not realizing that it isn’t that easy. I want to work but have not have success in finding work despite sending resumes daily and applying on line everyday. I had had some gigs but not enough to sustain the situation I find myself in. People have been really quick to judge while others have come through for me. I have found some to be foolish and then thought maybe it was me being foolish in expecting people that I have helped to return the favor. I took action by offering KNOCKOUT CANCER TEE-SHIRTS on line only to have myself and 4 other people purchase the shirts. I looked back and though this is foolishness I am spending all this time and energy and not many people are responding. It was at that moment when I realized that I need to build a more receptive audience and stop being foolish in my actions. Instead I decided to go out into the community and simply share who I am and what I am doing to help others and as a result I raised $432 for The American Cancer Society in 3 hours at a local event. It was then that I realized I need to work smarter and not harder.
In committing to stopping the foolishness and awakening spiritually you will find that all you need is to listen and take action on the messages being sent from GOD. In taking action you will face everything and rise as opposed to forgetting everything and running. It is when we awaken spiritually that we are able to stop the foolishness and to move ahead to improve personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is important to detach from outcomes and learn from the action that you take. Sometimes you have to realize that your ideas will not resonate with everyone and that is okay for those who are ready to embrace your ideas will be presented to you. It is time to come alive and answer your calling to make a change in the community by understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is time to find those who will stop the foolishness and get real with you and themselves by walking in truth and continuing on a spiritual path.
Don’t be anyone’s fool take a moment to find your power so you can step with strength into anything that you undertake and if someone decides to be foolish then simply step back and take the action necessary to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. If you find yourself encountering foolishness to often take a look at what you are doing and take the necessary steps to make a change to stop the foolishness.
It is time to stop fooling yourself and to understand that not everyone is ready to become more aware and awake. It is time to stop trying to drag people kicking and screaming toward your way of thinking as it becomes like wrestling a pig in the mud as you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. The time is now for you to walk in your truth and understand that those meant to lift you up will be provided to you when GOD deems them necessary to show up. Stay Positive Today!!! Namaste!!!
As I was in a great deal of pain today due to my diabetic nephropathy and other medical conditions I asked GOD to lift me and guide me as it has been a trying time in my life. GOD gave me the strength to go to The American Cancer Society Office to drop of money that I have raised for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I was going to go home and rest however GOD directed me to Starbucks to work on posting www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo and to send messages. In following GOD’S directions I was able to secure $60 in donations which gets me that much closer to making a mortgage payment. As I continued to share the link I realized that It is GOD who gives us the mighty wings to soar to the greatness that is our birthright. It is GOD who will bring us to challenges and it is GOD who will bring us through challenges. I have come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that GOD will not give us anything that we can not handle and he will put people in place who will lift us and who will help us to soar on Mighty Wings. I have come to learn that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me and that when you are connected to Christ you will be able to overcome all the challenges that you are facing in your life. Sometimes things may seem dark and it may seem as though our mighty wings are being clipped. It is at those times that you must turn back to the scriptures and become centered, focused, and balanced by taking action to continue your relationship with GOD. It is when we feel blocked that we must trust the process and press on for GOD’S Plan for us is far greater than the plan we have for ourselves. In awakening you gain the mighty wings that will allow you to soar to great heights in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you seek GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels you will find that you receive the answers to the questions that you are asking. In allowing GOD to give you mighty wings you will show your grace and see that grace wins.
