Spiritual Awakening: The Heat Is On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Heat Is On!!!!

 As the final buzzer went off, The Miami Heat were victorious 117 -92 over The Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of The Eastern Conference Finals  Advancing to their 4th straight NBA Finals I kept thinking about how this relates to having a spiritual awakening. The Heat were determined to take strong action after a game five loss. Taking action is an important step in the spiritual awakening process. They saw a deficiency and rather than make excuses they took action to fix it. In the loss The Indian Pacers learn what they need to do to get past The Heat as The Heat has knocked them out of the playoffs for the last 3 years. The Pacers now know that they must make some adjustments. In the spiritual awakening process one will experience loss. In working through the loss you will grow by making adjustments that lead to victory.

 During your spiritual awakening you will become filled with fire that will fuel the energy for you to create the life that you desire. In being consumed with the fire of spirit you will be able to find clarity in purpose as you are creating a oneness consciousness with GOD that will allow you to step into your greatness and achieve the prosperity which is your birthright. As you are consumed by the fire of spirit it is imperative that you write your goals down and that you put a plan of action in place to achieve these goals. As you work toward your goals and answer your  you will find that the heat is on and GOD will continue to feed that heat so the fire is always kindled inside. There will be set back and there will be times that you may want to extinguish the fire. Do not extinguish the fire with in keep in burning because as long as there is one burning ember inside of you a flame can be turned into an inferno thus allowing for great things to happen in your personal and professional life.

 In being immersed in the fire that burns inside  you will begin to light the creative juices that will propel you forward in the positive direction of your dreams. The heat is on side of you and now is the time to turn it up and set a fire inside others. In shining your light and sharing your burning embers you effectively change the world one person at a time. In sharing positivity and being of service and value the fire spread and when the fire spreads for good everyone involved benefits.

Spiritual Awakening: Shaken Not Stirred!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Shaken Not Stirred!!!!

 

 In the James Bond movies he has a catch phrase when ordering his martini, Shaken Not Stirred. As I reflected back on this phrase I immediately thought that there are many times when we take action that we are shaken and not stirred and when we are shaken we must find something to un-shake us and put us back on our spiritual path that will allow us to continue in the spiritual awakening process. This song was one of the reminders that if you have faith and you create a oneness consciousness you will not be shaken, however if you are shaken you can get back on track. In answering your calling and following your heart you will have some detractors who will do their best to shake you and take you off of your path. Do not allow these naysayers and doubters to shake you simply detach from them and move forward in the positive direction of your dreams. As you begin to change those that are involved in your life will change. At first this may shake you up as you eliminate people and things that no longer serve you. As you get past the initially shake up you will begin to come alive and see that you have greatness inside of you and that it is time to step into your power.

Spiritual Awakening: Shaken Not Stirred- A Success Story!!!

 Sometimes in our efforts to be of service and value we will be shaken as not everyone will resonate with our efforts. In my quest to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays through my involvement with Relay For Life I used to take it quite personally when someone said no or made an excuse or was mean towards me. I recently realized that if I am shaken this doesn’t serve my purpose and that I must detach from the outcome and continue to do what I am comfortable with. I was a bit shaken during the fundraising for The 2014 American Cancer Society Relay For Life because I kept comparing my results with the results of others.  As I was telling someone that I have raised $1862 so far they said that is great. I replied yes but there are people who have raised a lot more. The person’s response to me after that was JDOGG you have to stop comparing yourself to what others have done your $1862 is $1862 that the organization didn’t have before you did fundraising. I reflected on his words and thought he is right. It was at that point that I became un-shaken and continued to do the fundraising the way I was comfortable and looked at each dollar raised as a triumph. I began to use the concept of gratitude and instead of being shaken I was able to stay the course an now look at from the perspective that some money raised is better than no money raised. I now look at the detractors in a different light as I know some will, some won’t, so what, some waiting, next.

Spiritual Awakening: The Curved Path!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Curved Path!!!

 

 

Curved Brick Path It does not matter if your spiritual path is curved or if it is straight what matters is that you allow for the spiritual awakening process to take place and embrace the changes that will make you a better person as you make a mind, body, soul connection. As you become am action taker and put the excuse maker aside you will walk a path that at times will be straight and connect you from point a to point b and at times there will be a curve that may detour you. It is at times when you hit that detour that you stop and breathe and ask what direction will best serve me. Many times we walk our curved path and we come to a choice to take the path everyone else is on or to forge our own path. It is when we come to this crossroad that we must have faith in ourselves that we will make the correct choice and follow the path as GOD has intended. Through our awakening we learn that we can walk the path but the creator of our path is a higher source who will give us direction to follow through on his master plan for us. When we stop attaching outcomes to things and realize that everything on our path is in divine order just the way it is meant to be at this moment we begin to grow personally and professionally. As a result of this personal and professional growth we begin to be comfortable in shining our life and we stop worrying about what people say or think about us.

Many times our path will lead us to a labyrinth, which is a place for use to walk quietly and think about the path we are on as we seek enlightenment. In walking the labyrinth you have an opportunity to release blockages by totally surrendering to GOD and letting go. By walking the labyrinth you can create the oneness consciousness with GOD that will lead you in the direction that GOD intended for you. The labyrinth walk is a great way to reflect and release while receiving messages that will allow you to further your personal and spiritual development.  In the labyrinth you will experience a spiritual awakening that will open up your mind to receive and thus open the channels of creativity.

Spiritual Awakening: The Joy Is In The Journey!!!!

 Spiritual Awakening: The Joy Is In The Journey!!!

 

When you feel it in your heart and you commit to take action you begin a journey that will lead to a destiny. The joy truly comes when you decide to awaken spiritually and to start your journey  to shine your light and to design the life that you want.  It is said what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. This is true however one must be willing to make a full commitment to walk in their truth and experience all that comes with the journey. I was asked today what I wanted to accomplish with this blog and my answer was to give people inspiration to continue on there spiritual journey and to help other people along the way. I then added if people visit and make donations to help me in my quest to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays while honoring my mother, Judith Miller’s, memory than that will be a bonus. My journey is not about making money my journey is about empowering and inspiring people understanding that by helping others get what they want I will get what I want.

Along the journey there will be some hurdles and some obstacles so it is important to remember that this is your journey and to relish in the joy along the way. In coming alive through your spiritual awakening you will begin to see changes in your personal and professional life. On my journey there have been many trials and tribulations however each experience contained a lesson or a message and by not quitting I have been able to find much joy along the way.

Spiritual Awakening: Scoring A TD In Life!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Scoring A TD In Life!!!

As I went into my local TD Bank to do my personal banking an opportunity to support The Special Olympics came about as the bank was selling candy to benefit The Special Olympics. As part of the spiritual awakening process supporting charitable causes plays a major role in expanding our own spirituality as the giving allows channels to be open to receive. As I left the bank I thought how each time you give it is like scoring a Touchdown for life. As I drove to my next destination, the local Starbucks, I thanked GOD for the opportunity to pay it forward and make a positive impact. I arrived at Starbucks and the table I usually use was occupied however the young lady at the table allowed me to share half the table and thus scored her own touchdown for life. As I sat down all I could think of was Touchdown Jesus. The original Touchdown Jesus is illustrated in the 1st two photos which are of Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame Stadium. The other picture is affectionately called Touchdown Jesus by parishioners of that church. The question now is how will you score a touchdown for life?

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Score A Touchdown For Life!!!

1: Get involved with a charitable cause or support a charitable cause.

The Word of Life Mural (“Touchdown Jesus” to you and me!) celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. In April it was lit with pink lights in support of those who’ve battled and are battling with cancer as the annual Relay for Life took place nearby in the Compton Family Ice Arena. Notre dame University scored a Touch Down For Life as they helped those affected by cancer and joined 1,000’s of others who participated in Relay For Life across the world. In getting involved with a charitable cause you score a touchdown for life while also expanding your spirituality and creating a oneness consciousness that allows you to be in alignment with your divinity.

Spiritual Awakening: Allow Me To Kiss The Sky!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Allow Me To Kiss The Sky!!!!

 In life we often experience a spiritual awakening and as we evolve along our path to enlightenment we may be in a Purple Haze surrounded by light and love that accentuates our purpose and allows us to find our way. I have always found music to be a great source to help me find the way. As Easter was celebrated yesterday (4/20/14) I found myself reflecting and seeking to born a new in the spirit of GOD and to take action on that which I wanted to do such as kissing the sky. Yes and I do mean literally kissing the sky and blowing kisses into the wind to show my love for GOD and the love I have for all those he has called home.  I kiss the sky daily as I did just before writing this blog entry I went outside my clubhouse and took a walk and on the way inside I turned to the heavens and blew a big kiss. Upon returning I sat in prayer and asked GOD to give the words that will empower and inspire the reader of this blog to take action and to make kissing the sky a practice in their spiritual development.

Have you ever just stood still and looked at the sky and wondered what it would be like to soar and kiss the sky. Each day I take a moment and I allow myself to kiss the sky and I feel more centered and balanced when I do this. The energy that the sky holds is amazing on a clear sunny day the heat energy can set a fire inside of you to move forward and create the life you have always dreamed of living. On a dark cloudy rainy day the cleansing energy and power can give you moments to stop and reflect and be grateful for the all you have and thus help to create more joy and abundance in your personal and professional life. In stopping for a moment in good or bad weather we have the opportunity to kiss the sky and use the energy we are receiving for good.

Spiritual Awakening: Stepping Back To Step Forward!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Steeping Back To Step Forward!!!

 In basketball as in the spiritual awakening process many times you have to take a step back in order to move forward. In my years of announcing basketball I have seen many a team take a step back and then adjust to either keep the game close of to go on to win the game. This is very similar to the spiritual awakening process as the bad influences that are trying to take us down are playing touch defense and we feel they aren’t allowing us to move forward. In basketball it is the job of the defender to prevent us from making the shot, it is our job to find ways to make the shot. In our spiritual awakening the enemy will give us distractions and challenges and it is our job to defeat the enemy by staying on our path that leads to spiritual enlightenment. It is our job to stay so committed to our awakening that nothing the enemy throws at us will defeat us.  With the small steps backwards to look things from a different perspective we are able to adjust and take a few steps forward and thus stay on our path.

 The small steps backward serve as lessons to propel us forward. We have all had disappointments or felt less than until we realized we are enough and if we are following our heart everything works out the way the universe intended it to. In life we have to lose sometimes so that we are put in a position to win. In the losing we learn and thus we grow personally and professionally.  In following the messages that tell us to step back and regroup we create an opportunity to move forward. In realizing that we may not resonate with everyone and that those intended to support our mission or follow our message will come to us when the timing is right.

 It is in learning for the past and stepping back for a moment that we are able to live in the present and look toward the future. I have learned over time that you can not change what happened but you can change how you reacted to it so that in the present moment you are aware and awake and as a result you begin to find the proper perspective that will allow you to stay focused, grounded, and centered on your mission.  In stepping back and looking introspectively at ourselves we begin to find what our divine purpose is and what we are being directed to do to embrace this calling.

Spiritual Awakening: Be Bold And Take Off!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Be Bold And Take Off!!!

 Today’s entry is inspired by Steve Miller’s Song Jet Airliner as he describes moving on to pursue his dream. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to be bold and fully committed so that you can take off. Many times we find ourselves pulled back into the situations that we were seeking to leave behind. Sometimes it is the fear of the unknown that holds us back. Then one day we decide we are going to face everything and rise and we propel ourselves forward and we begin to truly soar.  It is understanding our spiritual calling and becoming aware and awake that we are able to become an action taker and create the life we seek for ourselves.  One thing that has helped me to be bold and takeoff  has been to adopt anthems that keep me on my spiritual path and help me to embrace my own divinity. In moving forward and being bold we become more awake and thus we are able to answer our calling. In answering our calling we are able to move forward in the direction of our dreams and make changes in our personal and professional lives. In coming alive and awakening we begin to further understand that the level we vibrate on and the resonance and energy that we give off begins to be seen by others and thus the world becomes a better place. When we are bold we begin to take off and our community is better served because we take action to improve our life and the lives of those around us. I have often stated it is when we think globally and act locally that we truly take off.

 In many cases you need to board a plane and take off to pursue your dreams. I interviewed Jake Ducey, Author of Into The Wind, recently and he spoke of his bold step to travel 1/2 way around the world and go with the flow. He states as a result he found himself and his calling. I personally served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines from July 2002 until February 2003. It was in making this bold move and boarding the plane that I was able to experience personal and professional  growth. In the six months that I served I learned a lot about myself. On my 16 hour trip back to The United States I was able to do much introspection and was able to understand that my calling was to help other people excel.  It was in making a bold move that I was able to takeoff.

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.

 Have you ever been around a parent when their child takes their first step? The euphoria they express is amazing, the positive energy it puts out into the universe sends shock waves of positivity up and down the spine of all that have witnessed this milestone. That joyous occasion is very similar to the first step someone has when they experience a spiritual awakening.  The energy shift that you have when you experience a spiritual awakening is incredible as you begin to shift and become a better person. The connection of mind body and spirit is strengthened through the first step of spiritual awakening.  The first step is to understand that their is a GOD that is guiding you and who wants you to experience prosperity. It is through the building of the relationship with GOD that you open up the GOD inside of you and began to experience The Oneness Conscience that allows you to expand by embracing your inner divinity.

It is by answering your calling that you can affect change in your personal and professional life thus coming alive and shining your light bright to inspire and empower others.
