Spiritual Awakening: Be A Champion!!!
Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to realize that if you are to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually you need to have a champion mind set that focuses on coming from a place of abundance as opposed to coming from a place of lack. To be a champion you must believe in yourself and make a championship connection with GOD so when challenges are put in front of you you can face everything and rise. Now is your time to be a champion.
The first step to being a champion is committing to putting in the hard work and to believe that you can win in all you do. In your quest to be a champion there will be some set backs and many times those setbacks will serve as lessons to move you in a positive direction of your goals. This past week I attempted to raise funds through JERSEYS OF HOPE however no one bid on the jerseys. I was a bit disappointed and thought what would a champion do and the answer was simple a champion would find a way to keep going and have success. I was beating myself up thinking I had failed when in reality I had won because I stepped up to do something and I still have the jerseys to use in my fundraising efforts to help those touched by cancer. I was at a point when I wanted to give up as I didn’t feel I was having the successes but after speaking with a few people and them telling me how I inspire them I sat in meditation and was able to get centered, focused, and balanced and thus erase that negative self talk and move forward and continue on my championship quest to be a positive influence on people. It was through a bit of adversity that I was able to meet a challenge and continue on my mission to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. One of the things I did was to look back on the memories and thus be refueled to be of service and value to others.
As I began to look back on the memories I was reminded of all the wins I have had in my life despite some of the haters, doubters, and naysayers. All my wins held one thing in common determination to never give up. Today is a day to be a champion and to make new memories to answer the calling and to live a purpose driven life. You can be a champion by serving your community and detaching from outcomes and simply taking the set backs in stride and continue on your path to spiritual enlightenment. Over the years I have had a few challenges and some have knocked be down but I always manage to get up dust myself off and fly high because I know that it is time to be a champion.
When we commit to training our mind, body, and soul to win we fly high and we get stronger and we move toward the goal of being a champion. I remember my first championship it was a football through for accuracy win at the age of 12 at The local Maccabi Games in Fort Lauderdale. I was one the smallest kids in my age group and probably a long shot to win but I was happy to just be able to compete. I overcame my eye hand coordination problems on that day and I was the winner. I still have that trophy to remind me that what your mind can conceive and your heart can believe you can achieve. You can be a champion if you simply commit to taking action and using your talents for good. With hard work and dedication you can become a champion in all of your endeavors. Instead of comparing yourself to others simply put forth your best effort and everything will point you in the direction of being a champion. If you continue to believe in yourself and you take action to achieve your goals you will find yourself in your own hall of fame. IN all you do bring the best version of yourself and be a champion.
As you become more and more aware and awake you will find yourself thinking globally and acting locally using your platform for the greater good and a result you will be a hall of famer and they will call you champion, Now is your time to shine and to attract more peace, love, joy, and abundance into your life and to become a champion today. Namaste!!!
As I continue along my spiritual journey and become more and more aware and awake I realize how important it is to flush the system so that I progress toward making a mind body and soul connection that will allow me to be of service and value to others. I have found that when I take my body and am conscience of what I am eating I am able to gain clarity in the rest of my life. Just as our body needs flushing from time to time our mind also needs to be cleansed of negativity that causes blockages that keep us from reaching our full potential. When we find ourselves distracted by events that we can not control we must reach deep inside ourselves and tap into the inner divinity we possess so as to get get focused, centered, and grounded. Over the las few months I have come to acknowledge that it is when we take action that we can flush our system while setting in motion the process to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. It is when we remind ourselves that we are divine children of GOD that we prosper and thus we are able to prosper others. The key is to flush your system and then to overcome and adapt to all obstacles that may be standing in the way to your spiritual ascension.
As many of you who read this blog regularly know I am very involved with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2021 marks my 24th year as a participant in this event. Over the years I have had to cleanse my system and make changes so as to help raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. I have a web page http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 where people can make donations. People can also send checks and I process them through the fundraising application on my phone. The application when it works is great unfortunately some time it doesn’t work so I have to use an old system of sending the check to the American Cancer Society Office. Recently I received a check and try as I may my phone application just wouldn’t read it so I had to send it to the American Cancer Society in Tampa as they closed The American Cancer Society Office in Fort Lauderdale due to Covid-19. I was upset and frustrated that something so easy could be made so difficult however I knew I had to flush those thoughts out of my mind and move forward in a positive direction of my goal to raise $2500. As I sat in meditation I received a message that GOD will not give you more than you can handle and that GOD will put you through some challenges to remind you just how strong you are. As I flushed my system of the negatives and focused on the positive and the fact that there is always a solution I found a new energy and was able to press on and continue on the endeavor to make a positive impact on the lives of those touched by cancer. I realized that I have a strength to carry on and give people a spiritual lift simply by cleansing the system and gaining clarity of purpose.
