Though Rocky is a fictional character he showed us that when we reach down deep inside and tap into our inner divinity that we can go the distance and achieve greatness in our personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is when we commit to taking action that great things happen for us. If we are to go the distance we need to set our heart on fire and understand that what our mind can conceive and our heart can believe we can achieve.
As you begin to awaken inside it is important to open your eyes and look at all the beauty and opportunity that surrounds you. As you open your eyes and put judgement and attachment aside you will see that you are able to take action and thus move things forward in a positive direction of your dreams. In the awakening process it is important to let go and let GOD as GOD will open your eyes and put opportunities in front of you where you can be of value and service while prospering yourself and others. I have heard many people say how hard it is to find work and my answer is always that there is plenty of opportunity you just have to open your eyes and be ready ready to receive. Such was the case the other day as I was out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life as Rainbow had a help wanted sign in their window so I inquired and filled out the job application and guess what I start a part time on Monday (3/20/2017), which fits perfectly into my schedule. The idea is to open your eyes and be more aware and awake and prepared to take action.
When you are social media make sure you open your eyes and take action appropriately that will help you in your quest to be of service and value to others. In opening my eyes and taking action I have been able to secure some chance drawing items for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise, which will take place on May 5, 2017 at Piper High School from 6 PM – 12 AM (Midnight). I recently saw a post from a company, Sam Bat, a company that makes custom made baseball bats I wrote a comment asking them if they could donate a bat and they sent a bat that says Strike Out Cancer May 5, 2017. In opening my eyes and being awake and taking action I was able to secure this chance drawing item. I also was able to secure the assistance of my cousin who is a Scentsy Rep as she had posted on Facebook about her fundraising opportunity where she will donate 25% of all sales util April 28 to Relay For Life. The link is https:franklyscentsational.scentsy.us/party/7593720. In keeping your eyes open and taking action you will find that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
The moment you awaken spiritually and decide to take action you set in motion all that is necessary to break free. When you commit to being your authentic self you are going to encounter some challenges as people will doubt you or try to tear you down. It is when you encounter these challenges that you must step into your power and walk in your truth. The key to breaking free is understanding you are a divine child of GOD deserving to be loved and respected. If you encounter those that do not lift you hold a special place fr them and pray and then break free. In doing things on your terms as you are guided by GOD you will find that you attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In breaking free and detaching from expectations you will find that your level of bliss and abundance are increased. When you stop worrying about what everyone else will think and you break free by celebrating your spiritual awakening you will find that living a purpose driven life is very rewarding. In my experiences along my spiritual journey I have found that when I stand in my power and walk in my truth that good things happen. In breaking free from the so called norm you will find that your level of success increases as you will vibrate on a positive wave length that will attract the people and things into your life that will serve you.
One way to break free is to consult with the ascended masters and listen to their messages. As you receive the messages remember to go from an excuse maker to an action taker.
Sometimes when we get in a rut along our spiritual path we have to blow up our limitless beliefs and start to find our rhythm so that we can continue to move in a positive direction of our dreams. Sometimes it takes a while to climb out of the dark ditch because we are so filled with feeling of anxiety however when we realize there is nothing to be anxious about that all we seek is being guided by GOD thus we have no worries. It is when we eliminate our limiting beliefs and start to shift from a position of lack to a position of abundance that we will see improvements in our personal, professional, and spiritual life. When we begin to step into our power we begin to see that we are of value and service to others and deserve to be treated with respect and compensated fairly for what we bring to the table. Sometimes it is necessary to blow up that which no longer serves you so that you can move forward to exceed your goals and objectives. In taking action to understand that you are a divine child of GOD who has the right to be prospered so you can prosper others you will see how easy it it to release what no longer serves you. When you shift your focus and detach from outcomes you will be saying BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. Many times the biggest boom we hear occur when we are coming out of the dark and relishing in the sounds of silence.
It is when we go deep inside and connect with our inner divinity that we can break through the sounds of silence by truly hearing the messages and thus taking action when we step back into the light. On many occasion we get so caught up in our human existence that we forget that all we are and all we need is spiritual in nature so it is important to find a quiet sacred space to release all that is blocking you from reaching your full potential spiritually, personally, and professionally. Many times we miss out on the opportunities to shine our light and illuminate the world because we are so caught up in what others are doing that we lose sight of our purpose and thus sink into darkness, however when we feel this darkness it is important to look for answers and step into the light by realizing that like dynamite we have the ability to tear something down and rebuild it including our mindset.
I have come to realize that along my spiritual journey there will be some challenge and that not everything will go smoothly. When challenges arise we must remember that a joyful servant is rewarded. On Sunday (2/19/2017) my human side got the best of my spiritual side and I was very upset that I allowed the mean angry side out because I was frustrated. After I took a deep breathe and reflected on what I could have done differently I realized that my disconnection from source at the time was creating some confrontations that I wasn’t prepared for thus I wasn’t being a joyful servant. I took Monday, Tuesday, and part of Wednesday to understand why I was acting the way I was and why this disconnect was happening. I sat in meditation and prayed and the answer was revealed to me as I was worrying too much and that I was coming from a place of lack instead of abundance. On Wednesday night I decided to take action to change this and to reconnect with source by consulting the ascended masters, my angels, GOD, and Jesus and the message was clear as they all told me that I needed to be a joyful servant. I was also told to detach from outcomes and to stop worrying so much and simply to answer my calling by using my talents for good. As a result I went this morning and began to promote and fundraise for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and I was met with success as I detached from the outcome and decided to be a joyful servant by simply changing the way I was doing things. In making a positive change and moving forward in a positive direction of my goals I was able to make a joyful noise unto the lord and thus get closer to my goal of raising $2500 to help those touched by cancer. My donation page is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg18 if you are so moved to take action and help to fund research, education, advocacy, and services for cancer patients, their families, and friends.
Sometimes all it takes to get back on track and be a joyful servant is a song to remind us that we have divinity in our heart and that all we have to do is call on this divinity to guide us. In making a connection and remembering that we are divine children of GOD we attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. It is when we understand that along our spiritual journey there will be obstacles and that if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it that our lives begin to change. In becoming a joyful servant we begin to improve our community by looking at what we can do as an individual to change things. When we realize that we have an incredible power inside of us we begin to manifest the greatness that is our birthright.
When I forget that I am on this earth to be a joyful servant to GOD I play this Styx Song asking GOD to show me the way. When I ask for guidance I am given many messages to follow to find the way and thus enabling me to be of service and value. One of the messages that I received while I felt disconnected was to become a cheerful giver and to be loving and caring in all that I do. I have come to learn that when you are frustrated and feel moved to anger to simply step back take a deep breath and allow GOD to guide you. The hardest thing we have to do in our human existence is to let go and let GOD. In taking action to reconnect to GOD I realized that confrontations that I encountered were lessons for me to learn and the lesson I learned this week was regardless of how mad or angry you feel you must use one of the fruits of spirit, self control, and realize that by being angry you only attract negativity into your life and until you learn to control that anger the negativity will persist. Through this lesson I was able to reconnect to GOD by taking time to see what I can do differently and to spread positivism and take all setbacks as an opportunity to step us and thus remain a joyful servant.
I give you this video to help you to stop playing the victim role and to remind you that you have the power to become a joyful servant. Stay Positive!!! Namaste!!!!
The last couple of weeks have found me more fatigued as my human existence was interfering with my spiritual existence. The worries of life seemed to be weighing heavily on my mind and my motivation was waning as I began to allow the negative self talk and worry to consume my thoughts so there were a few days that I didn’t even get out of bed. I then realized that if I am to move in a positive direction toward my goals and dream I have to get the fatigue out. It was when I sat in reflection last night that I realized that the only way to overcome any worry and fear that is holding me back is to get the fatigue out. In making a commitment to make everyday count I got up this morning and went to The American Cancer Society Office to turn in money for The Relay For Life. I am now at $1076 raised toward a goal of $2500. I realized that if I am to exceed this goal I must take more action and get the fatigue out. As a result I have been sharing the donation page http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg18 and asking people for donations and have met with success because I got the fatigue out. I have come to use the following poem as an anthem to help me get the fatigue out.
As I took time to rest and reflect I found myself rejuvenated with a sense of purpose where I was helping myself to overcome my own humanistic worries while also help other people to enhance their personal, professional, and spiritual life. It was when I shifted from a sense of worry to a sense of hop and purpose that I was able to get the fatigue out and be energized. It was when I sat down ad wrote in my gratitude journal and read passages from Rev. Dr. Dee Addio Mosses Book, heal Your Life With Meditation And Prayer and then read passages from The Miracle Minute by Mary Morrisey that I was able to get back on track with my mission to help other people excel by being of service and value to all those I come in contact with.
As I picked out the superhero to represent for The 2017 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise/Tamarac due to the theme being Superheroes For The Cure I began to think that each of us has a superhero inside of us to unleash. The inner superhero is usually the one that allows you to tap into your divinity thus allowing you to become an action taker and improve your life and the lives of others. It is when you realize that you have this great power inside of you that you begin to take the steps necessary to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. In improving your personal, professional, and spiritual life you shine a bright light which allows others to find their inner superhero and as a result you begin to change not only your life but the lives of others. So many times people will tell us that it can’t be done or that we are not good enough. When you encounter these people it is important to simply walk away and then tap into your inner superhero and follow your heart as after all what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe you can achieve.
When I was growing up there was a very popular TV Show, The Greatest American Hero. In the Show Ralph would put on his special suit and be able to help make the world a better place. The good thing about being awakened spirituality is that you do not need a special suit to make a positive impact in the world all you have to do is tap into your inner divinity and do small things with great love thus creating a ripple effect where kindness will beget kindness. The superhero you have inside of you is calling to be let out for the world to see that you are committed to being of service and value to others by taking action to make a positive impact in the world. When you unleash your inner superhero ad spread peace, love, joy, and prosperity these things will come back you. It is when you find your purpose and answer the calling that you become a superhero. In unleashing your inner superhero you will encounter doubters and naysayers. When you do simple choose to simply ignore the negative and move on in a forward direction of your dreams. As y0u unleash your inner superhero you will find that you are attracting more lifters and supporters and that the universe is conspiring to help you manifest the life you desire.
As an action taker who finds myself on the go most of the time I have come to realize that of I am to be spiritually awake I must slow down so that I can turn things around. Such was the case today when I inquired as to my status as a n announcer for a team that I have worked with for 4 years. I was told that they weren’t going to have a DJ or announcer for their last 2 games. I was a bit disappointed as that took $200 out of my pocket as I was being paid $100 per game and now I have to find a way to make that up. This is what happens when you are a free lancer in the broadcasting world. As I reflected I turned to GOD and he sent me this song by The Byrds. It was at that time that I realized everything happens for a reason. This was GOD’s Way of telling me to not sell myself short and to find other opportunities where my talents would be awarded and respected. It was at that moment when another awakening occurred and I sent out text message to a few people who were interested in my services and I landed a few paying gigs.
When you decide to find the bright side in what is happening you begin to turn thing around and you win in the end. There is an adage that says when one door is closed another will open. This is so true and plays out many times in the spiritual awakening process. Sometimes your human feelings and ego get in the way because you allow yourself to feel under appreciated or disrespected and you stay in the situation because you are fearful of what might happen if you walk away. It is when you walk away from a situation that no longer serves you that you win in the end.
Many times along our spiritual path we may be distracted by sources that are trying to take our focus off of our purpose. These sources will also try to sway us from our connection with GOD. It is when these sources come into our lives that we must remember that we are divine children of GOD and that GOD has a purpose for us and will intervene in our life as necessary. It is at the times when you feel distracted and off track that you must reach down deep inside an reconnect with your inner divinity and become an action taker. I have found that listening to songs like this one from Styx helps to serve as a reminder that we are all looking for our way in life. As we begin to find our way we start to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our life. When we awaken to our purpose we begin to achieve things that others only thought were impossible. It is when we find our calling that we can become the change we want to see in the world. In an effort to find our way we must connect with GOD, Jesus, our angels, and the ascended masters as they will guide on a path that brings harmony, bliss, and abundance into our lives. It is when you are shown the way and follow the messages by taking action that you will find a sense of fulfillment in your life.
In finding my way I have found that oracle cards like those from Doreen Virtue and Sonia Choquette are very helpful in assisting me to tap into my inner divinity and keeping me centered, focused, and grounded as I continue on my path of spiritual awakening. In following the messages of the cards I have come to have a deeper understanding of my purpose thus allowing me to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when we utilize all the tools in our spiritual tool box that we are better able to make the mind, body, soul connection that will propel us to the greatness which is our birth right.
Each morning when I awake I thank GOD for another day to be of service and value. I ask GOD to make me an action taker and to give me the strength, courage, and enthusiasm to be a difference maker. As I go about my gratitude rituals such as writing in my gratitude journal I thank GOD for the prayers he has answered. Today I thank GOD for putting people in my life who are supporting my efforts to use my talents for good. I asked GOD to help me and guide me with my efforts to plant the seeds of hope and healing for cancer patients, their families, and their friends through my involvement with Relay For Life. GOD answered and gave me the tools to ask people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg18 and make donations. In following his directions I have now raised $774 toward a goal of $2500 and I continue to let things go and let GOD. As a result my prayers are being answered.
In is when we put our trust in GOD that our prayers are answered. It is when we take action with the intention of glorifying GOD that we are rewarded with amazing results. GOD answers your prayers when he sees that you are using your talents for good. It is when you lift others up to GOD that you are lifted. may times GOD answers prayers in a very unique way. Such was the case when I wrote a message to Sam Bat, a company that makes customized baseball bats, asking them to support Relay For Life. After I wrote the message I prayed to GOD to bring this donation to fruition. On Saturday January 21 there was a knock on the door and a package was delivered for Relay For Life. It was a custom made maple bat from Sam Bat with the words Strike Out Cancer and May 5, 2017( The date of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise). This will be used in the fundraising efforts as a tool to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. This is one of the many prayers that have been answered simply by letting go and letting GOD.
