Spiritual Awakening: What’s It All About?
As I woke up this morning the question, What’s It All About, kept permeating into my consciousness and I thought I would do my best to answer that question as it relates to me and my spiritual awakening. I often say to people that it is not about the fancy car as my Cobalt will get me to the same place a Mercedes or BMW will. It is not about the big house because as long as I have a safe place to rest my head at night I will be okay. It is not about the fancy clothes because I am the same person with a suit on as I am with ripped jeans and a tee shirt. I am then asked JDOGG what is it all about? My answer it is about being of service and value and knowing that at the end of the day you made the life of others better while enhancing your personal and professional life. I often think what could be done with the $52,000 someone spent on a Corvette? My answer is always could have bought a practical car for $22,000, taken $10, 000 and invested it, taken $20,000 and helped many charitable organizations or people in need. Imagine being able to take action and host a community barbeque for $6,000 and have people share why they deserve $2,000 and then plant seeds for prosperity by giving 7 people that seed and having them chronicle how the money was being used.
As I listened to this instrumental by Pat Metheny I began to understand that what it is all about is living your life on purpose and making a positive impact in the community where you live, work, and play creating a massive shift toward positivity in the world. I began to understand that it is very important to think globally and act locally. Through out the spiritual awakening process there will be signs and messages as to what GOD would like you to do. It is important to realize that these messages are meant to be acted upon. When acting on these messages the answer to what is it all about will be revealed to you. When you realize that it is about answer the calling GOD has for you and no one else you will begin to achieve more success in your life.
To answer the question of what it is all about let us examine the scriptures and see that GOD wants to prosper you. The BIBLE is the first place to look as it a guide that include Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. If you look through out the BIBLE you will see evidence that the first thing it is all about is understanding you are divine child of GOD. The second thing is that as a child of GOD he has given you talents to use to improve your personal and professional life while also lifting others. It is when you are in service that you gain a better understanding to answer the question what is it all about.
The key to finding out what it is all about is to surrender yourself to GOD and allow him to lead the way. You will be surprised by what GOD has already done for you and what he will do for you if you exalt and praise him. I have many occurrences where GOD has spoken to me and directed me and as a result I listened and found success. Such an occurrence happened today (7/2/14) when GOD directed me to go out and collect donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. He threw a challenge in front of me as I was caught in a torrential down pour. Despite being drenched and cold I continued to go business to business to collect donations. While collecting donations GOD told me to share my TV Show and hand out my business cards, which I did and as a result had a successful couple of hours.
One of my favorite scriptures that has helped me to understand what is it all about is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Knowing that there is season for everything and a reason for each season helps to understand that we are guided by GOD and GOD will direct us accordingly as we seek the answer to what is it all about?
One can not begin to alter the plan that GOD has one must allow GOD to show you the way and the answer to what it is all about will be revealed.
As you seek the answer to what is it all about remember to stay positive and the answer will be given to you!!!
