Spiritual Awakening: How To Make A Fresh Start!!!

 In standing or sitting in meditation or prayer after a spiritual awakening many seek to make a fresh start. I am asked many times JDOGG how do I make a fresh start?  The first thing I state is that to change you must be open to receive  and embrace the changes. In being open to receive you are showing the universe that you are truly ready to make a new start. After you commit to being ready to receive the next step is to look at  the person you wish to be and how this fits into you being authentic. You must be honest with yourself and accept that all positives and negatives in your life have been caused by you and the way you chose to deal with them. When you become an action taker and are truly committed to taking the steps necessary to make yourself better you will see positive changes. You will see that you are attracting different people into your life because you embrace the opportunity to start fresh.  Many of our behaviors have been learned over time and it will take some time to eliminate those that do not serve us in a positive light. In many cases we may seek to change our circle of influence, if we are hanging with people who have a lack mentality than we must move away from them toward those who have an abundance mentality. If we find out we are the smartest person in the room  we need to change rooms. In awakening to who we are and finding our purpose we can change what we have done in the past and make the changes to find success in the moment.

 Think of your life in the terms of a tree. A seed is planted and the seed is nurtured and  it grows strong, however in the Fall and Winter the tree transitions and goes dormant and then in the Spring and Summer it awakens and sprouts leaves and provides joy to many. In Ecclesiastes it is taught that to every season there is a purpose under heaven. It is in nurturing the seeds inside of us that we grow like a tree and find our purpose. Eventually the tree may be cut down and used in a different way. When we are eventually cut down our message lives on in the lives of those we have touched. Ask yourself ho do I want to be remembered and begin to work toward leaving that legacy.

  For many starting fresh means making a connection with source,  creating a relationship with nature, and being loving in all they do. I have found many times that when you are willing to turn the page and forgive yourself and others and be loving in all you do that you begin to see things differently and thus you move forward in a positive direction of your goals and dreams.
