Spiritual Awakening: Putting Yourself First!!!
In the last 13 months I have come to realize that most of the reason that I am in the position that I am in is due to the fact that for 40 plus years I have put helping others in front of helping myself. I found myself justifying this by thinking I was meeting a spiritual responsibility by being of service and value to others, which is important however if you can not help yourself you will not be able to help others. I was justifying what I was doing by thinking well I am taking action and helping other people to excel when in reality this was hindering me because I was not making my physical, mental, and spiritual well being a priority. It was when I awakened to the spiritual principles of putting myself first and connecting to GOD that things began to turn around. Though I am still a bit financially challenged and have set up a donation page at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more I know things will improve as I put myself first and take action as directed by GOD. In calling upon GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels for guidance to put myself 1st I have found myself gaining more clarity in my personal, professional, and spiritual life. In discovering the power of putting myself first I have been able to detach from outcomes and simply live in the moment knowing that GOD put me here to serve my community by answering my calling to come alive and to effectively make the changes I can as I live a spiritual life in my human form. In putting myself I have been able to pursue some of my dreams while putting many of the emotions that used to hold me back aside.
In our spiritual journey we will find that there is balance in all we do and when we are balanced we can reach very high levels of vibration that allow us to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our personal. professional, and spiritual lives. As I left The American Cancer Society Office today (5/3/2018) I started to look and the balance sheet for The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise. It read 34 teams, 71 participants, and $21,582.77 raised. I looked at this and at first was a bit disappointed for as an action taker I expected more as The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise is Tomorrow (5/4/2018). I started to allow the negatives to take over and thus my vibration was being lowered and then after taking a deep breath I started to look at all the positives and my vibration was rising and I was feeling better about the action that I was taking. As I started to look at all the good things I realized that I need to remember to detach from expectations and simply allow GOD to guide me as he will deliver all that is needed to have a successful event. 
As I look back on a 9 month journey as The People Lead for the 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise I can say that the experience has been a great lesson in personal development and spiritual development. I was able to gain a lot of clarity in understanding just how powerful one person can be. I have raised $3004 to help fund research, education, advocacy, and services and was told I should be very proud of this and I am as I know that my mom, Judith Miler, who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack while battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer is very proud that despite some trials and tribulations that I never gave up. As I look at my balance sheet I can say that I had more successful encounters than failed encounters. I have come to realize that all I can do is share my reason to Relay in hopes that it will resonate with others and that the people I share Relay with will see the value of supporting the effort to attack cancer from every angle. I have learned that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what next. I have come to understand that as long as I am impeccable with my word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make judgements, and always do my best that I will come to have bliss and abundance in my life. I have come to realize that not everyone will understand the value of supporting Relay nor will they share my passion for wanting to plant the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer. I have a choice I can focus on the negative or I can focus on the positive realizing that in the end there is balance and on my spiritual balance sheet the assets will outweigh the liabilities as long as I stay spiritually aware and awake.
It is when you can clear the negative energy that you can create a balance sheet that shows a profit in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. When we make the conscious decision to move in a positive direction toward our goals as we continue on our spiritual journey we will find that our assets always outweigh our liabilities. It is in using our assets that we can create more assets and thus experience the life that we want to have. As we come alive by serving our community by answering our calling to make be the change that we want in the world we create many positive encounters that far surpass any negative encounters that we may have. In realizing that we have a great power given to us by GOD and GOD wants us to use this power to create positivism in the world we evolve as spiritual beings who can have a great looking balance sheet.
When you awaken spiritually you will find that you go from being self centered to being people centered. As a result you find yourself better able to balance all that is happening in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you look at your balance sheet take stock in all of your assets and look at how you can turn liabilities into assets by making the changes necessary so at the end of the day you can say wow I had a nice balanced day. May your quest to find balance be positive.
Ever since I can remember numbers have played a major role in my life. I think it all began with my first paint by numbers experience when I realized the power that numbers have in life. As I got older and began to experience spiritual awakenings I started to understand the roles of numbers and how they influence our personal, professions. and spiritual lives. I began to focus a lot of attention on numbers. As a result today as I continue to evolve spiritually I am very cognizant of numbers and their meaning. In understanding the power of numbers I am better able to make a mind, body, soul connection. In understanding numbers and their meaning I am able to adjust my vibration so that I am functioning at the highest vibration so as to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity. In looking around the numbers that are coming into our daily life we can peel back the onion and figure out the reasons for why things are happening for us.
As we look at the numbers that coming up in our life we can make things happen and better comprehend why certain things are happening in our lives. Today for example I turned in money that I had collected for The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise and it brought my total to $3004 which adds up to 7. As I turned in the money the staff partner gave me a really nice Relay Hat and other Relay Items. I then went to Starbucks and was gifted a bag of chocolate covered almonds. I started to wonder why so I looked up the spiritual meaning of the number 7 and here is what I found. 
The last few weeks have proven to be challenging as my own missteps have set me back and tested me. In learning from these set backs I have come to understand that you can not fight the feelings that you can only accept them and work through them. I have come to realize that I can only control my actions and that what other people do is not my problem even if their actions adversely affect me. I can choose to be angry and lower my vibration bringing more negativity into my life or I can turn the page and move on. The idea is not to fight the feeling but to recognize the feeling and work through it by remembering the spiritual teachings and understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is when we embrace the feelings and the challenges that are placed in our path that we are able to become action takers and come up with a solution that will make things better in our personal, professional, and spiritual life.
As my old lap top became difficult to use I made a decision to buy a new one. Unfortunately there was a communication breakdown with the salesperson and many of my files of the old lap top were not transferred. At first I was upset then I took a deep breath and realized though it may take time to move the files I will get them moved and thus be able to continue on my mission to be of service and value to others. As I consulted with the ascended masters and embraced the spiritual awakening I realized that it is important to answer my calling and follow the directions of GOD and simply move on in a positive direction toward my goals. As my new lap top came alive I found myself coming alive and being in a better place as I now had the tool I needed to promote the idea of planting the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer. I was now given the opportunity to make the changes that I needed to make to be of service and value to my community. As my emotions ran the gamut of the emotional vibration field I realized that I had a choice I could be upset with the financial position I was in and where my life was or I could be grateful that I had the money to get a new lap top. I chose to be grateful and it changed my whole outlook. 
As I drove to Boca Raton today (12/21/2017) to pick up copies of this book that Michelle Goebel donated to help in the effort to assist those touched by cancer I realized that this was a journey to the light side as this donation was made with the intention of spreading love to those touched by cancer without any expectations of return. When I arrived at Starbucks I decided to read Michelle’s chapter, The Universe Heals Through The Heart, it was a very enlightening read and really confirmed the importance of journeying to the light side. Michelle’s story illustrates what is possible when you journey to the light side.
After reading Michelle’s story I felt a shift of energy in my body as I began to find things to be grateful for and ways to be a beacon of hope and healing to others. It is through the journey to the light side that we are able to find ways to enhance the personal, professional, and spiritual lives of others while also enriching our own lives. It is in finding the light and driving out the darkness that we are able to move forward in a positive direction to enlightenment. In our journey we will encounter darkness however when we encounter darkness we have a choice we can dwell on the darkness or we can tap into our inner divinity and bring bright light to us using the forces of GOD, JESUS, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels to drive out the darkness thus allowing us to be a bright shining light that will help to illuminate the world with positivism. We have the ability to create a life filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity by simply reminding ourselves that we are divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to prosper as we journey toward enlightenment. 
We need to understand that it is our responsibility to carry ourselves in a way in which peace, love, joy, and prosperity are exuded from us so that we raise the collective consciousness of those we encounter so that they will become awakened. It is important to understand that not everyone is as evolved spiritually as we may be and may not share the same passion that we share thus we must find common ground. It is out responsibility as evolving beings to make sure that we meet people where they are and do our best to lift them so that they can become the strong beings that they are.
