Spiritual Awakening: Making Magical Love!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Making Magical Love!!!

 Through out your spiritual journey it is important to remember that you can do magic because of the love you have inside of you to give to the world. Through some trials and tribulations this week one common theme and message kept appearing in front of me and that is love. It was when I went deep inside and taped into my inner divinity that I was able to awaken and take action by being driven by a force known as love. When I made the conscious decision to do everything from a position of love I found that things became clearer and easier to understand. It is when we decide to make a magical love that we begin to manifest the life that we desire. It is when we love and appreciate what we have instead of wanting what we don’t have that we are able to tap into our own love channel and provide programming that spreads the idea of love to the world. It is when we begin to love ourselves that we radiate a vibration that attracts love.  I have discovered over time that love is the answer and that when you exude love in all you do everything works out.

The greatest growth happens when you are loving and caring in all that you do as you are then able to shine your light and illuminate the world. When you wake up and show gratitude and love for where you are in your life you will see that you are just where GOD intended you to be. In showing Love to GOD you will see rewards that you never imagined. As I sat in meditation I asked GOD to help me be more loving and caring and to help me wipe out my anger and any negativity that I was bringing to situations and when I cam out of the meditation I found myself more centered and grounded and focused on love.  In deciding to make magical love I have been able to achieve many great things and see the progress that I making in my personal, professional, and spiritual life.  Love has become the word I see first in all those Facebook word searches. As a result of seeking to express love I have been able to book more guests for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com. I have been able to raise more money for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise, FL and The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Boca Raton as a result of detaching from results and just being grateful for any donations at The Sunrise Relay Donation Page, http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg3, and donations at The Boca Raton Donation Page, http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg4. In showing gratitude and love I have come to understand more and more the idea that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. I have come to realize that at the end of the day it is not about the fancy car, the big house, or the expensive designer clothes it is about the love you gave and the legacy of hope and healing that you leave for others.  It is when we do small things with great love that we make the world a better place.

Spiritual Awakening: A River of Hope!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A River of Hope!!!

Sometime when you are on your spiritual path you will find challenges that come in many forms. When these challenges arise it is important to find a body of water to just sit quietly by and pray. I have such a place and I call it The River Of Hope. There is something very magical and spiritual about just watching the water and remembering that when we cleanse our mind, body, and soul of negativity and replace it with positivism that we begin to transform. It is through our transformation that we create a oneness consciousness and thus grow personally, professionally and personally. I have learned through my spiritual journey that there will be things that I do not understand but if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. I have also come to understand that the spiritual path may have some bumps along the way but when I am cleansed and doing things to honor and praise GOD these bumps are smoothed out. We are all going to have some set backs where we question our spirituality. It is at these times that we go to the river to get rejuvenated and to re-energize the divine life force that allows us to share peace, love, joy, and prosperity. It is when we cleanse and remove that which no longer serves us that we become more evolved and thus we can be of more service and value to others. In finding ways to be of value and service we attract all the resources necessary to create and manifest the life we desire.

When we are bathed in the spirit of GOD we come to understand that if GOD is for us who can be against us. The enemy will through many obstacles in your way to try to shake you however when you are strong in your faith and divinely connected no one can stop you.  I am reminded of a day last year when I was out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Boca Raton when I put the collection canister in one hand and my Bible in the other. I walked into a restaurant to ask for a donation the man behind the counter asked me what book I was reading I said The Bible he said you have a weapon there I must donate he then told everyone in the restaurant to make a donation. That day was one of my most successful days collecting and taught me that when you are connected to GOD good things happen.  Later that day I stopped for dinner and found a small park with a picnic are over looking a body of water so I stopped and as I ate I prayed and praised GOD thanking him for all the good he is doing in my life. At the end of last year my fundraising total for The 2015 American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Boca Raton was $2557. Now everyday I pray that GOD will direct me and allow me to use my talents for good. As a result even the biggest challenges seem small.

When I am facing challenges and need some reassurance I turn to the scriptures and I am reminded that I am a divine child of GOD as you are as well and that GOD wants to increase the love in my life so that I can give more love and share that love for the betterment of others. I have often stated that service to humanity is the best work of life and this is so true as the more you give the more you receive.

 When we pray at the river and seek ways to be more loving and compassionate we begin to grow in all that we do and as a result our personal, professional, and spiritual life is enhanced. As you travel to your river of hope know that if you seek you will be answered and if you ask it shall be given. In today’s hustle and bustle society take a moment to go to the river and pray.

If you can not get to a river remember that you are 90% water and that you are the river of hope and you can provide a reservoir for those seeking to grow in mind, body, and spirit. Allow your river to flow and you will create much hope and healing as you take action in becoming more aware and awake. It is when we allow the water to flow freely that we make the world a better place. May your river flow freely. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Do You!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Do You!!!

 I have stated many times that at the end of the day all that matters is that you were true to yourself and honored GOD through your actions. This week I was tested a little when I did something that many would find unconventional as I reached out to a sponsor of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise, FL to be a guest on my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM. I thought as a business owner he would have like the fact that I reached out to him, BOY was I wrong he didn’t call me instead he called the Fundraising Lead for this Relay and complained. The Fundraising Lead then wrote to me and said I couldn’t solicit sponsors to be on my show. In me doing me I wrote back to her explaining that I had every right to invite people to be on my TV Show and that if the gentleman had an issue he should have called me. I was upset so I decided to take a few minutes and breathe and then meditate. The message I received in mediation was to do you. I have also come to realize that all you can do is do you and let others do themselves.

As I came out of mediation I remembered this teaching and realized that by me doing me I will encounter many that simply do not understand. I have always done things unconventionally and have had much success and thus as I evolve more and more in my personal, professional, and spiritual life I understand that not everyone is going to resonate with me and be a lifter.  I have come to understand that when dealing with people on project you must understand where they are coming from and allow them to do themselves while you do you. I have come to realize that it is when you follow your heart and honor GOD and do you that everything work out in the end.

Spiritual Awakening: A Peaceful Easy Feeling!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Peaceful Easy Feeling!!!

As you continue on your spiritual journey and awaken more and more you will find that when you are centered and grounded that you will have a peaceful easy feeling come over you. I have found that to achieve that peaceful easy feeling you must be willing to take action and do some work on yourself. I have earned that you must spend time with those who lift you and encourage you and to go places where you are celebrated not tolerated.  It is when you take action that you can awaken spiritually and better understand the concept of creating a oneness consciousness by making a mind, body, soul connection. As you go where you are celebrated it is important to celebrate others.  When you are being celebrated make it a point to celebrate others. I have always taught to remember to be kind to the people you meet on the way up as they are the same people you will meet on the way down. It is important to act out of peace, love, and kindness.

It is when we come together for the common good that we create magic and this magi shows up in the form of peace. If we are truly to accomplish Peace on Earth we must first become peaceful. In detaching from outcomes and expectations and doing all things with great love we create a peaceful easy feeling and the world around us is improved. When I was a child there was a song Peace, Love, and Happiness which I first heard while watching The Skipper Chuck Show and it has become a part of my life. each day when I awake I ask GOD to help me in my endeavors to help empower and inspire others and to allow me to be peaceful and loving in all I do. Through out the day there are challenges as some people who you meet for the first time are quick to judge and sometimes say things that are hurtful. Such was the case today when a so called professional told me my work was meaningless. I took a deep breath told him I was sorry that he felt that way. I realized that by leaving and taking and taking the high road I could maintain my peace and go about my mission of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. I took a deep breath when I left and paused to recapture a peaceful easy feeling. As I moved forward with my task I encountered more friendly people who were happy to help. In focusing on the positive encounters and slowly letting go of the one bad encounter I was able to find more peaceful easy feelings.

 As poignant today as when it was first released this is a song I turn to so as to remind me that it is important to create a positive loving world for all. It is through our peaceful actions guide by our inner divinity that we are able to create peaceful easy feelings.  One fact of life remains and that is that we were not just put here to amass material things we were put here to be of service and value to each other. Take a look deep inside to connect with you inner divine guidance system and then follow your heart and you will create more peaceful easy feelings.

Spiritual Awakening: Living The Good Life!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Living The Good Life!!!

 What defines the good life? As I have been awakening more and more spiritually I have come to realize that everyone has their own definition of the good life. My definition is to be in a position to be of service and value to others while living a life on purpose. I have learned that there are two great days in your life the day you are born and the day you find out why. Once you discover your why you will begin to live the good life as you will have the ability to put your passion into action and thus you will find your definition of success. I have found that being grateful for what I have and  not wanting for what I do not have leads to living the good life. Each morning I awake knowing that GOD has given me the opportunity to use my talents for good. With this knowledge I am able to become an action taker and positively impact my life and the lives of others. As I sat in reflection the other day I began to understand that I have had a good life so far and there is much living left to do. I look back on what I have been able to do over the years and realize that many people can say they have been able to do what I have done. As I look at the photographs and recall the memories I can say that despite some trials and tribulations I have had a good life so far.

As you look through your photographs what will you be able to say about your life. It is my hope that you can say that you have had a good life filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity. I have come to learn that it is not about the materialistic things you accumulate but it is about the lives that you enrich. For me it is not about the fancy car, the big house, or the designer clothes it is being able to say at the end of each day that I made a difference in someone’s life. I think the good life is defined by the following poem.

Spiritual Awakening: Turning The Power Back On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Turning The Power Back On!!!

 As I left the chiropractor’s office the other day he said now your power is back on. As I got in to my car I started thinking about that and what it means to me in alignment and balanced.  I began to realize that when our words are in alignment with what we perceive to be our purpose we have an ability to keep our power turned on. I began to think about all the times that my power had been turned off both literally and figuratively. I start to think of the time when I was without physical electricity for 11 days due to the power being knocked off from the damage due to a hurricane. I remember how relieved I was when the power came back on. I equate that experience to the same experience we feel when we are disconnected from GOD, our angels, and the ascended masters. It is when we realize the disconnect that we can take action to turn the power back on. Through out the spiritual awakening process I have learned that it is important to tale action to keep the power turned on so that you can create a oneness consciousness and thus achieve the greatness that GOD has in store for you. In turning on our power and stepping in to our power we begin to achieve things that we once thought nearly impossible.

When your power is turned on and you are connected in mind, body, and soul you begin to understand that the word impossible when broken down says I am possible. When you embrace the possibilities you begin to find a power that will drive you to new heights and these new heights allow you to shine your your light and illuminate the world. When we turn our power on we experience great things because we remove our stinking thinking and replace it with aromatic thoughts. 9 week ago I began working with a personal trainer and I could only hold a plank for 6 seconds, I weighed 222 pounds and my thoughts were filled with limitless beliefs and my power capacity was low. Today I can hold a plank for 1 minute, I weigh 213.5 Pounds, my beliefs are limitless,and my power is getting higher everyday. It is said that what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. I have found that when your power is turned on you can do this. In taking action you can turn on your power and thus turn your dreams into reality.

Spiritual Awakening: After The Rain!!!

Spiritual Awakening: After The Rain!!!

As I sit down to type this entry I am at my local Starbucks in Sunrise, Florida and there is a fierce rain storm brewing outside. As I observe this storm I begin to think of the storms that we may have in our own personal, professional, and spiritual lives and realize that after the rain there is a rainbow. How many times do we complain about the storms in our life instead of being appreciative of the rainbow? I have learned that complaining only makes the storm worse. I have come to realize that if GOD brought you to the storm he will bring you through it. In growing personal, professionally, and spiritually we must realize that there will be storms and how we deal with these storms will determine what we attract into our lives. I have come to adopt the anthem that a positive attitude during a storm will propel you to altitudes that you never imagined. Through the spiritual awakening process I have found music to be a great tool to bring me through the storm.
This song from The Byrds based on Ecclesiastes has helped me to take action despite being caught in a storm as I have come to realize that we each have a season and that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. It is when we realize that there is balance in our lives that we are able to come through the storms stronger than we were before. In moments of introspection I have learned that in order to weather a storm I must be willing to change the way I go about things during the storm. In many cases I have fund that I am the cause of the storm because I was disconnected from GOD and forgot that the plans he has for me are far greater than my own plans. In these cases I take actions to get reconnected.

 

I have found that doing daily reflections and meditations and then looking at my accomplishments such as being a featured author in Sources of Wisdom Book 2 and Sources of Wisdom Book 3 to be great tools to help weather any storms.  When I changed the focus from I can’t to I can and stopped making excuses and pointing fingers at others I found myself more aware and awake with an ability to face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running. It was when I decided to take action and detach from outcomes by reminding myself that all I can control is myself and my reactions to things that I began to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. I have found that by reciting the serenity prayer daily that I can weather any storm.

Spiritual Awakening: Listen Up!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Listen Up!!!

As I sat and actively listened to The Imagine Dragons Song, Radioactive, I began to think how many messages are we missing as we travel along our spiritual path because we are not really actively listening. Through out the spiritual awakening process it is important to remember that GOD gave us 2 ears and one mouth so we should listen twice as much as we speak.  As I am out and about in the community working on writing blog entries and places like Starbucks, Panera Bread, and Dunkin Donuts I make it a point to tune in to people around me so that I can be of service and value to others. As I begin to overhear people speaking about different topics I find a way to simply go over and introduce myself as you never know where that may lead. In becoming an active listener you will find opportunities to interact with others and thus move further along your spiritual path as you never know where that interaction will go. On many occasion I have been very successful be it obtaining donations for Relay For Life, by the way my donation page is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg4, or securing guests for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT, or simply looking for gigs to emcee. The key is to check the ego at the door and not to be afraid of what the person or people you approach will say. In detaching from outcomes and simply implementing a philosophy of some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next you will find yourself moving forward in a positive direction  of your goals and your dreams.

In following your dreams and becoming an active listener you will find yourself belonging to your city. As a result you will begin to attract the people who will become lifters and supporters who will move you forward in your quest to become spiritually enlightened.  This song by Glenn Frey remind us not to forget about our roots and to listen to our heart and follow our heart as we continue to search for our personal, professional, and spiritual identity. In listening to the messages that are coming to us we can began to conceive things in our mind, believe them in our heart, and as a result achieve them.  When you sit down and listen to the messages you find that you belong and that you have the power to answer your calling and make positive changes in your life.

Spiritual Awakening: Got Gratitude?

Spiritual Awakening: Got Gratitude?

... that brings us gratitude, it’s gratitude that brings us happiness As part of the spiritual awakening process it is important to make gratitude part of your every day life. It is when you assume and attitude of gratitude that you begin to open many channels that will enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life.  I have found that by sharing the tokens of appreciation from www.tofa.us is a great way to show gratitude and to spread positivism.  In spreading positivism I make it point to thank everyone now from the barista at Starbucks to the ticket taker at the movie theater I make it a point to say thank you, GOD Bless You. This usually puts people in a good mood. In being grateful and appreciative for what you have you are able to create a positive frame of mind that will better serve you as you become an action taker.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways to Bring More Gratitude Into Your Life!!!

I recommend that you get a journal and that you write each day the statement I am grateful for and then free write what you are grateful to have in your life.  In doing this you will start to see things from a different perspective. Today I got up and it was raining and I could have complained or I could have chosen to be grateful for the rain and the positive things that happen due to the rain. I chose to be grateful for the rain and to be grateful to be able to work out inside, to be able to have a car to drive to The American Cancer Society to drop off money for The Relay For Life, and to be able to work inside. In finding what to be grateful for my energy level was at a very high positive level that attracted people to me. In being grateful and positive I found myself feeling great joy which allowed me to detach from outcomes and simply allow things to flow.  In being grateful I was able to reduce my stress level when others did things that I have no control over.

Spiritual Awakening: I Did It On Purpose!!!

Spiritual Awakening: I Did It On Purpose!!!

 I am asked many times through out my fundraising campaigns for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life why I do what I do. My answer is usually I do what I do as it is part of my purpose to be of service and value to others. I have learned that doing things on purpose is very important and finding your why is equally as important. Each day when you awake and you become more aware of your purpose you should begin to find ways that will nourish that purpose. When I awoke this morning (1/9/2016) I knew I was going to ship birthday gifts to my brothers Joshua and Richard and that I was then going to collect donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise, FL. each step was going to have a purpose as I was working toward my goal of raising $1000 to honor the memory of my mother who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack while battling inoperable metastatic lung cancer. Each time post http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg3 asking for donations it has a purpose to honor my mother’s memory and to help all those touched by cancer. With each step I took today I was reminded that my purpose was to share Relay for Life with others and that regardless of whether people donated or not that my purpose to plant the seeds of hope and healing for cancer patients and their families was the most important aspect of my walk. As I hit 2.10 miles I decided to stop and take a break at my local Starbucks. It was at that point that I realized another purpose and that was to share positivism so that someone reading this entry would be  uplifted and encouraged to do things on purpose.

It is when we find our purpose and then take action to fulfill that purpose that our lives begin to improve personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when we realize that there is time for every purpose under heave that we are able to better coexist with everyone and as a result bring forth peace, love, joy, and prosperity. Many times we get caught up with fear of what will other people think that we create blockages in our purpose and thus hinder our growth. I do things on purpose and detach from the thoughts of other people because at the end of the day the only one I have to answer to is GOD. I have learned when you seek the answers from GOD he will guide you to meet your purpose for he knows the plans he has made for you and he wants you to find success and happiness.
