Spiritual Awakening: Shine Your Light

 Today’s blog entry is inspired by Janet Lee Kraft who shares a message of love and hope through her music and ministry.

Spiritual Awakening: Shine Your Light

Inside of each of us is a bright light to be shared with the world so as to show others our greatness and to exhibit grace for others to follow. I often ask people the question How Bright Is Your Light?  I ask this question to delve deep into the fact that they have a gift and a talent to give to the world so as to enhance the lives of others while enhancing their own personal and professional light.  Many people have a light that is waiting to be turned on and shared and all they need is a bit of encouragement from those arround them.

Neil Diamond delivers a message to turn on your heart light and to let it shine for everyone to see.  It is your time to shine and let the world see just how great you are.  You have the power inside of you to be a shining light to those you come in contact with. How Bright Is Your Light? is a question to answer by seeing the impact you are making on the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Sow Your Good

Spiritual Awakening: Sow Your Good

As I read Mary Morrissey’s, The Miracle Minute, today the passage I read was about Sowing Your Good and this inspired me to write this blog entry as I have witnessed so many people that are sowing their good. It is when you begin to sow your good that you begin to open up the channels of reception and that you will begin to be rewarded. It is when you give of yourself and do things without expectation of return that the biggest gains are made. It is important to monetize yourself and your brand as the money that comes in can be used to sow your good. I often do events where I will set aside a percenatge of my emcee fee for a charitable cause as I know when you give to others and help to further their mission you will also be create a flow that will help you to further your mission.

 

I have seen many people sowing their good recently as they have become lifters in their community and beacons of hope to others. The list is quite extensive as evidenced by my list of friends on facebook who continue to pass their knowledge on to help others. I recently had the opportunity to connect with Rev. Cortez Mack who has a documentary film What About The Children that will inspire you to sow your good to help future generations.

Spiritual Awakening: What Call Are You Placing?

 Jim Croce talks about placing a call to find a long lost girlfriend in his song Operator.

Spiritual Awakening: What Call Are You Placing?

As I listened to Jim Croce’s Operator I began to think what call are we placing and how are we being perceived when we make the call.  I have a friend Cynthia Segal who helps to place a great call to help people enhance their personal and professional life. She has a site www.redphonetogod.com. She has been named one of the top psychics in the world. When you call her and she makes the special call for you she will give you the messages she receives. Then it is up to you to follow through and take action remembering that Passion + Action = Success.

 Blondie reaches out and asks yiou to place a call and call her anytime.

Spiritual Awakening: Types of Calls

I utilize my phone in many situations and each time befor I dial I get myslef centered and grounded and prepare by asking what call am a I making:

1: The Invitation- The call where you are inviting someone to attend an event. Make sure to explain why it will be beneficial to them.

2: The Donation- The call where you are asking for support of a project or cause. Make sure you touch the heart of the person you are speaking with.

3: The Thinking About You Call.  A short call to remind someone they are important

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Calling?

 Spiritual Awakening: What Is Your Calling?

A question I am often asked is JDOGG, How do I find my calling? I answer with by seeing what is bringing you joy in your life and bringing joy to others. In finding your calling their may be challenges like the one I had this month where I took a job at a local bowling center and after 10 days was let go and told that I wasn’t meeting the owners expectations. I took this as a sign that GOD had a better plan for me. After I clocked out and told a few people the phone rang and it was another bowling center seeking a volunteer coach. I took this as God’s way of telling me that I was not meant to be behind the counter of a bowling center handing out shoes, and ringing people up for their bowling, but that I was meant to use my gift and coach and thus create joy for myself and others. Eachtime I have left a job or been asked to leave a job I have realized it is one more brick on the path to finding my calling.

 Finding your calling is an everyday path that we walk as we continue to look at how we are spending our day. One way to find your calling is to track your day and make notes about the things that you are doing and the feelings they evoke.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Path and Your Purpose

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Path and Your Purpose

I remember the movie, The Blues Brothers, the original with John Beluhi playing Jake and Dan Akroyd playing Elwood where they would state I am Jake and  this is my brother Elwood and we are on a mission from GOD! Their mission was well defined, to raise enough money to pay the property taxes to save the school that they attended as children. They had a unique way of furthering this mission. In the end they made it to the property tax office and paid the back money to save the school.  By defining their mission, being of service and value, and utilizing their talents these two offbeat musicians achieved their goal.

John Belushi(Jake) and Dan Akroyd (Elwood) contemplate their next move on their path to save their school.

Finding The Path:

Like Jake and Elwood you have a path it may not be as zanny and far fetched as it was in the movie, however it is a path and you are being guided to follow it everyday. In The Wizrd of Oz  Dorothy is told to follow the Yellow Brick Road. She and Toto follow the path meeting characters like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and  The Lion. The characters represent the universe putting people in our life to help us along our path. Dorothy wason the path so she could find her way home and the universe was providing her with help along the way.  What is our yellow brick road and who are we meeting along the way?

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion, Tin Man, and Toto find their path and recieve what they were searching for by heading the messages of the universe.

Spiritual Awakening: Power, Passion, Purpose: Ingredients For Success

Power, Passion, Purpose: Ingredients for Success

When baking every recipe calls for spefic ingredients. Today we will bak a cake for success using power, passion, and purpose as the main ingredients. By using these ingredients we will make our cake very tasty as success is very sweet.

As I began to read Ralph Waldo Emerson’s definition of success I began to think what were the ingredients needed to achieve this? I found power, passion, and purpose as the answer.Power not in the sense of being in control but the power you have within yourself to achieve what you desire the power of choice to move forward towards your goals and  desires or the choice to draw back from your goals and desires. The power to  make good decisions and the power to learn from the not so good decisions so as to improve.

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Vision?

  What do you see?

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Vision

One of the first things we must answer in becoming self aware is what is my vision? On 3/30/12 I was fortunate enough to attend The Vision Quest 2012 Conference hosted by Allow Your Vision To Soar.  As I listened to Kimberly West speak and tell her story and share this wonderful insight ” Every dark experience you have encountered in your life only means one thing! There is something so much brighter  just waiting for you to see,”I began to realize all the pent up supressed activities of the past were not serving me and through out the day I began to release them and let go. I steeped out of my comfort zone a bit and participate did a breakthrough facilitated by Dr. Melissa Anderson, The Quantum Catalyst, who placed a arrow to my neck and had me walk forward through my fear and I shattered the arrow. I kept the  arrow and have plans to make an art piece out of it with a message about overcoming fears. I began to write down notes and defined one of my visions and that is to positively touch and impact  lives of those affected by cancer. As I delved into this vision I realized that I am doing this daily through my work with Relay for Life and sharing 1-800=acs-2345 with people. As the day unfolded I realized that we all have a vsion and sometimes it takes some work to realize that vision. There were many highlights that helped me to set my vision in motion.On of which was watching and hearing Amy Barbera Sing.


Allow Your Vision to Create Beauty.

Spirituality: Optimizing Your Talents

Spirituality:Optimizing Your Talents

We all have talents in us and for many these talents lie dormant until we find them and let them come out.  Many times our talents come alive when we begin to find our passion and discover our purpose. There are times when the talents are there but due to fear or lack of encouragement we do not pursue the opportunity to use the talents. Many times we have natural ability and when used in  a positive way our life improves. Discovering your talent and letting it come out takes an understanding of who you are and how you are expanding and growing.

Spirituality: Discovering Your Talents

When was the last time you did a talent inventory? Have you asked yourself what am I good at, what talents do you possess, am I investing in myself?

Spiritual Awakening: Anthems For Inspiration

Spiritual Awakening: Anthems For Inspiration

Under the categories section you with notice a word prasyer, it is a word I made up to describe praise and prayer. After I made up this word I began to think about anthems for inspiration, songs or other influences that are uplifting and help to focus on praise and prayer. I was very fortunate when planning The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards to reach out to Mary Morrissey who sent 50 copies of her book, The Miracle Minute to me. Each day I read a passge from the book to assist in getting me focused to be a shining light of hope to all I come in contact with.

 Mary Morrisey provides many anthems for inspiration in her book The Miracle Minute.

A few days ago  I was surfing Youtube and came across this video that has always inspired me and I hope it will inspire you.

Spiritual Awakening: Lessons Learned From Helium Balloons

Lessons Learned From Helium Balloons

I thought wow I can show up the afternoon before The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards and set up the red balloons I had chosen to represent power. I was very happy when I left the church the balloons were flying high and I was ready for the next step. Saturday Morning I arrived at the church and the ballons had fallen from up on high to the floor. I though okay sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men go astray so what do I do? I used what was left of the helium to fill up a few ballons and then I just spread out some human air filled balloons around the room and continued to set up. As I continued to set up I began to realize the lessons being taught by the helium balloons:

1: You can plan and have expectations but sometimes things happen that you adjust to and it turn out better than expected

2: Always have a back up plan

3: Leave time the morning of the event to blow up the balloons so as to have your maximum impact

4: Don’t over react as things have a way of working out in the end.
