Spiritual Awakening: Have It Your Way!!!
I remember being a kid in South Florida and hearing The Burger King Jingle. I didn’t know then the impact of the words Have It Your Way would actually have on me until much later in life as I decided that I was going to explore my spirituality and embrace the divinity that I have inside of me. As I started do things my way as directed by GOD I found myself having incredible successes. Through my journey I have learned that we all come to our spiritual awakening on our own terms. I have discovered that everyone is on a spiritual path however we are all at different locations along the way. Some of us have come to understand that we are a divine child of GOD and God doesn’t make any junk. Many of us come to understand that the purpose GOD has for us n much larger than anything that we can humanely imagine. People ask me all the time JDOGG aren’t you concerned what other s will think? My answer is that I used to be but today I go with the direction GOD has in mind. Sometimes people are quick to judge without getting to know you and they lose out on a great opportunity to really grow personally, spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. I have been at events where spirit moved me to break dance and do a cartwheel and some people were intrigued by this and came to speak to me while others avoided me. Those that avoided me missed out on an opportunity to delve into some of my spiritual lessons that have helped me to become one of The Top 5 Jaycees in America, The 2008 American Cancer Society Hope Award Winner, A Governor’s Point Of Light Award Winner, and a Top Speaker for The Florida Jaycees.By doing things my way I have ruffled a few feathers but I have come to learn that if you are shining your light and walking your path that you will have haters. The key is to keep doing things your way and allowing GOD to divinely intervene in your life. GOD will direct you along the path. It is up to you to follow the guidance of GOD and not allow others to hold you back. So many times we worry about what others might say and we hold ourselves back and never realize our full potential. I think the idea is to have it your way and embrace life and allow yourself to be divinely guided.
When you look yourself in the mirror at the end of a day will you be able to say that you did it your way? Will you be able to say that I took action and as a result I move forward in the direction of my goals and dreams?Will you be able to say that you were of value of service. Each day you have a chance to do it your way and to be a beacon for others to see. In doing it your way you will show people that it is okay to stand out and to use their talents for good. Many times we hold back from doing it our way because we are afraid of what may happen instead of just doing it and letting it happen. I do things differently and the comments and snickers that I get sometimes make me understand that not everyone is going to get me. Not everyone will get you and it is not meant for everyone to get you it is meant for you to live your life with divine guidance and attract those who resonate with your message and your mission.
I am reminded of the story of a young boy who saw 1000s of starfish washed up on the beach and he started to pick them up one at a time and throw them back in the ocean. An older man saw him and said you really think you are making a difference the young boy picked up a starfish threw it the water and said made a difference for that one. He continued and after a few feet the old man joined him then other beach goers saw what was happening and joined in and many starfish were saved that day because one kid did it his way. So the next time you question what you are doing and why you are doing it remember that the actions you take are making a difference in your life and the lives of others.
Remember to have it your way and you will change the world. Stay Positive!!
