Spiritual Awakening: Always Be Available!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Always Be Available!!!

   In my spiritual awakening I have found that it is important to make yourself available for others. It is true you can not be available all the time and sometimes there are scheduling conflicts, however if you can be flexible and make yourself available you will find that positive things begin to happen. I often thought why would businesses be open 24 hours and then I realized that sometimes a person needs something and the only place to get it is from a place that is open 24 hours.  Personally it is hard to be open 24 hours as you do need time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate so you can be of service and value to others. When planning your work and working your plan you should make sure you have a bit of flexibility so that you can be open for others as you never know what can transpire when you are open.

 You can control your time and the better you control the time the more successful you will be. I hear people all the time say this is not a good time or I am too busy or I am in a meeting when I call them. So I begin to ask when is a good time to connect with you. If you tell me 3:00 PM on Friday and I call you at 3:00 PM on Friday and you again tell me it is not a good time then I put the ball in your court and allow you to make the next call  when you are ready. Ask yourself how many opportunities did you miss out on because you made an excuse about time.  It all comes down to being spiritually awake and aware that everyone’s time matters and the better respect we have for time the more successes we will encounter. By making time you will find that positive things happen. Sometimes you will have to adjust accordingly as many things occur to through off the best laid plans of mice and me. The question you should ask is what do you do when the expected occurs?

Spiritual Awakening: It’s Beginning To Feel Like Christmas!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: It’s Beginning To Feel  Like Christmas!

As I ventured out on Friday (12/13/13) to do my Christmas Shopping I felt another spiritual awakening come over me. It was an awakening that Christmas can be an everyday occurrence as we all have the ability to give a gift. It doesn’t have to be a monetary gift or a material gift it can be a gift of spirit, a kind word, a random act of kindness, a smile, or just letting someone go ahead of you in line.  It is when we adopt the anthem to take action and come from a place of kindness and love that our spiritual channels are open up and thus we receive gifts that enhance our personal and professional life because we took the time to enhance the personal and professional lives of others.

 As I strolled through The Forest of Angels Project at The Promenade at Coconut Creek I experienced another spiritual awakening as I witnessed 22 Christmas Trees decorated by sponsors who designated a charity for their Christmas Tree to represent as this project gives money to the top 3 trees who garner the most votes. To vote on a tree you make a donation of at least $1 and place the number of the Christmas Tree you like on the ballot you receive ( a raffle ticket) you vote and then place your ticket in the chance drawing box of the prize you would like to win. My awakening was that more people are doing good than bad and we need to capitalize on the feeling and spirit of Christmas and make it a daily practice. maybe not with trees or lights or presents but with actions that will show people that they are divine creatures of GOD with a purpose and thus everyday it can feel like Christmas.

Spiritual Awakening: Changes In Lattitudes, Changes in Attitude!!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Changes in Latitudes,Changes in Attitude!!!

 Today’s  entry was inspired by Jimmy Buffet and his song, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.  As I listened to the song I realized all the spiritual references such as not looking back for to long, having the ability to laugh and then having the ability to move forward on our path to spiritual awakening.   Have you ever noticed that when you change your latitude that your attitude changes. Sometimes it can be as easy as moving a little forward or backward that we begin to see a different perspective on life. In many cases it is when we take responsibility for our attitude that we begin to realize that what is happening for us has nothing to do with others but with ourselves.

 It is when we decide to change that we truly begin to have a spiritual awakening. When we put the past behind and realize you can not change what has happened we begin to move forward in our spiritual development to have this spiritual awakening. In having a spiritual awakening we are better able to understand why certain things are occurring and why certain people react to us and our actions in a certain way. When we begin to understand that for this spiritual awakening to continue we must check our EGO at the door as EGO is Edging GOD Out. When you don’t have that relationship with GOD you begin to question everything and thus remain stuck and never change the latitude or the attitude.  It takes a great deal of courage to go deep inside yourself to have this spiritual awakening and to share what you have found as many may not be ready to explore their divinity and have their own spiritual wakening. You have the opportunity to find the answers that you seek as you begin to awaken spirituality more and more. It is when you make the commitment to follow the purpose that you have discovered through your spiritual awakening that you begin co-create the life that you desire. By remembering that all things are possible through GOD you will experience your spiritual awakening and be given the direction in order to be of service and value to yourself and others.

Each day as part of my spiritual awakening I read this book from Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses. Today Passage was about having GOD as my boss. It reminded me that the highest upon all high is GOD and GOD is who I shall listen to as GOD provides the messages to help me further my purpose and to understand this spiritual awakening process. I have come to realize that GOD doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle, GOD gives us what we can handle is an effort to season us and strengthen us so that we can shine our light for others to see so that they can watch what GOD is doing in our life and know GOD is working inn their life as well.

 As part of my spiritual awakening I have come to understand that GOD has enabled me to be awoken and has given me a mission to help other people excel. I have come to realize that the messages GOD sends are to be listened to and obeyed as GOD has a purpose for you and knows you will carry out that purpose. GOD may have to get angry with you so that you receive the message and act upon it and create a spiritual awakening for those you interact with.

 Every morning as part of my spiritual awakening ritual I read a passage from Mary Morrissey’s Book, The Miracle Minute.  In March of 2012 I had the opportunity to gift copies of her book to the attendees of The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards. Those that have utilized this book have definitely changed their latitude and thus changed their attitude thus furthering their spiritual awakening. Today the passage I read spoke of being a vision holder and encouraging others by supporting their vision. As I read the passage I was reminded  about the concept of being a lifter and thought how will I life someone today? The answer was simple by being an action taker and sharing this blog with others I am lifting the reader and helping them to have their spiritual awakening and to embrace their divinity.

 Today change your latitude change your attitude and you will begin to see the greatness that is in you. It is important to unleash that greatness and show others how you are shining your light and how your spiritual awakening is creating the life you desire. Remember, Stay Positive!

Spiritual Awakening: Listen To Your Inner Voice

Spiritual Awakening: Listen To Your Inner Voice!!!!

As I sat at Starbucks preparing to write this blog entry I overheard people speaking about seminars and the work they do my inner voice directed me to go to my car get my business cards and introduce myself to them. I did and they complimented me on my voice. This led me to write this entry to encourage you to listen to the inner voice that leads you in a positive direction. This inner voice or divinity will lead you to many successes. It is when we begin to shut out the negative self talk and shift from the stinking thinking to the positiveand empowering self talk that we begin to become more spiritually awake and realize that we have amazing power within us to be great. Many  times  people miss out on opportunities to step into their greatness because they are so busy listening to the nay sayers and allowing their negative self talk get in the way. Today I encourage you to eliminate that negative talk and listen to the positive inner voice telling you that you can do it.

   Being open to receive messages and taking action will lead to success, I often say what the mind can conceive, and the heart can believe, you can achieve.  I have many examples of when my inner voice has led me to success. It was at the those times that I chose to step back, breathe, and then do. It is when you make the mind, body, and soul connection that you begin to tune in more and more to the inner voice that guides you in a positive direction. It is when you just allow things to flow and don’t sit in judgement and just do what you are guided to do that you will find more successes.

Spiritual Awakening: Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign!!!!

This post was inspired by a song from Five Man Electrical Band tittled Signs. As I listened to the the lyrics and really focused in I began to ask how many times have we missed signs or have we not acted upon the signs that being put infront of us. Is it no wonder that many struggle as they obliviously go through life not seeing nor understanding the signs? Have you ever received what you thought was a sign and then sat quietly asking the universe what it meant and listened for an answer?  There are signs all around us delivering messages to us and the more intune with the signs that we become the more fruitful our lives become as we begin to take action in an effective and efficient manner.

Spiritual Awakening:People to Help You Understand The Signs

 Satya Kalra, a founder of Path to Anandam is popularly known for her Anandam life style (Blissful Living). Satya’s mission in life is to live in love, peace and Anandam and spread the same to others by leading, practicing and propagating spiritual living and helping others to become more self-dependent and self-reliant, specially destitute women and children.

       I had the privilige of interviewing Satya on 1/14/13 on my radio program at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio, you can hear it in the archives. After the show she called me directly and we had a very nice conversation about how we can be of service and value to one another.  This all came to fruition because of the sign that I received to reach out for guests for my radio show, By becoming an action taker I was able to make a connection and follow the signs to continue my awakening.

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning!!!

As I sat and thought about what to write about today all the messages pointed to the idea of beginnings. As I listened to the song by Chicago, Beginnings I began to realize that each day gives us a new beginning and that each day we have 24 hours to make a positive impact on our life and on the lives of others. I then began to ask the question what is it that you have been meaning to begin but haven’t due to excuses or the fear of what others may say or think about it?  I then began to ask what is it that is holding you back? Then I found this quote by Lao Tzu,

 and immediately thought it is time to take that first step and watch things unfold. What might be holding you back from taking that first step is it fear? I found this video and I hope it inspires you to put your fear aside and to step into your greatness and to shine your light as it is only the beginning:

Is your new beginning being stymied by the idea that you lack funds to put it into action. I found the following affirmation video about money and I hope it assists you in creating your new beginning.

Spiritual Awakening: Rocky, The Karate Kid, Mandisa & CNN HEROES Inspire Greatness!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Rocky, The Karate Kid, Mandisa, & CNN Heroes Inspire Greatness!!!

I am asked on many occassions JDOGG what do you use to stay focused, motivated, and grounded?  I ususally answer I use songs that have a message or a calming effect like the ones above. I sit quietly just listening to the music and bock everything else out. When the song ends I will remain quiet and began to visulaize desired outcomes that I seek and that helps to motivate me. Many time what I visualized comes to fruition as I recall the feelings and begin to take action. I have a few songs that I listen to that have become anthems for me like the folowing:



By using rituals like listening to Janet Lee Kraft, Reading Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses, and reading Mary Morrissey I have found on the days that I do this I am super motivated and don’t allow negative energy to affect me.  I have found that by being motivated and going with the flow and increasing the positive vibrations and being a shining light that good things happen. I walked into a small paint store in West Boca on 441 south of Palmetto Park and the women and man there were very open and receptive and they each gave a dollar and took brocures for The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of West Boca Raton. We spoke about helping the small business owners. This motivated me to continue.

Spiritual Awakening: Hey Barack, Mitt, and Lance Tell The Truth!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hey Barack, Mitt, and Lance Tell The Truth!!!!

          As I warched the news today and saw the story of Lance Armstrong I thought wow all the good he may have done is now tarnished because of him not telling the truth from the get go. Then I watched the political ads where Mitt and Barack continue to put each other down instead of building themselves up. I then turned off the TV and prepared for the day by writing in my gratitude journal, reading Mary Morrissey’s Miracle Minute, reading Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses’ Onesness Consciousness, and reading a random verse from the bible.  As I arrived at my clubhouse I received a message to write about the importance of being truthful in everything you do and especially as you explore your spirituality.

 Think about it if Lance Armstrong would have said while I was battling cancer I found a drug that made me a better cyclist and I kept using it as I was out to be number 1 because it would mean more money and exposure instead of him denying everything. Now he has to come clean and his reputation takes a big hit  and how many people will now think twice about supporting The Livestrong Foundations.

What if Mitt and Barack laid out their plans with the best case scenerio, the worst case scenerio, and the most likely case scenerio and began speaking their truth instead of making statements and then having to back track. I believe more people would repsect the process if more truth was being told.

 When you tell the truth and you are your truth your life becomes easier as you do not have to manipulate the situation. I am reminded of a situation when I wrecked the tape deck in my mom’s car I told her exactly what happened, she was angry but we worked it out. It is owning up to your transgressions that truly allows you to evolve and become  a greater person.  Take action and step into your truth by being truthful with yourself if you are unhappy state you are unhappy and then find ways to step into your truth to be happy.  When you live in truth your burdens are eased and you will find that life becomes more joyous.

Spiritual Awakening: Are You Making Every Moment Count?

 This post was inspired by the passing of Kathy Dedek, who touched many lives and always had an encouraging word for those she came in contact with. She was called home to GOD on June 23, 2012 from the complications of a brain aneurism. Kathy taught us all how to make the moments count. I dedicate this entry to the memory of Kathy Dedek.

Spiritual Awakening: Are You Making Every Moment Count?

I watched the NBA Finals and witnessed Coach Solstra of The Miami Heat answer a question of you are 12 minutes away from a championship with “We need to stay in the moment.”  Then came the news of Kathy Dedek’s passing and I thought how quick the moments come and go. I then asked myself are you making every moment count? The answer was yes as I begin the day with a gratitude prayer, then I read from Rev. Dr. Dee Adio Moses book, Oneness Consciousness, then I read a passage from Mary Morrissey’s book The Miracle Minute, and then choose a random Bible Verse, then I put on Janet Lee Kraft’s CD and get ready for the day knowing that I am centered and grounded.

 It is when we are focused on the moment and not the past nor the future that we achieve the greatest results

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.
