Spiritual Awakening: Finding A Fountain Of Inspiration

Spiritual Awakening: Finding A Fountain Of Inspiration

 As I was deciding on what to blog about today to help those on their spiritual path to enhance their personal and professional lives  I jumped on YouTube and I found this fountain of inspiration. As I began to drink from this fountain I began to think about all those who inspire others and how they are adding to the fountain of inspiration.

 In this fountain of inspiration I found this video and the affirmations. I then remembered the scene in Dead Poet’s Society, where Robin Williams Character, Mr.Keating, reminds us to Carpe Diem ( Seize The Day).
 You have the opportunity to seize the day and drink from your own fountain of inspiration.As you become inspired and you awaken and accept that you are destined for greatness you will begin to see changes in your personal and professional life and your light will shine brightly on others.

Spiritual Awakening: What Legacy Are You Creating?

Spiritual Awakening: What Legacy Are You Creating?

 

 It has been 12 days since I attended The Women Of Faith Event in Sunrise, FL. I was only able to take part in The Friday Night portion of the event as I was booked to announce The Sean Taylor Classic, which crowned champions in Pop Warner Football.  I was their that evening to promote and share www.addictsmom.com, an online community helping mothers of addicts to share without shame while facing the challenges of having an addicted child. In the last 12 days I began to think about and answer the question What Legacy Are You Creating?

Spiritual Awakening: The Balancing Act

Spiritual Awakening: The Balancing Act

          

You hear it all the time I want a balanced budget, eat a balanced diet, create a balanced life and thus it all becomes a balancing act. The balancing act is very important when creating the life you want. The key is to answer the question of how do you achieve the balance that you desire?  An answer that I have come up with is to measure your finances, your health,  and your spirituality ona a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the least desirable and 10 being the most desirable then take action to improve the areas so everything is the positive and moving toward the 10 on all levels. For example your finances are at a 5 your health at an 8 and your spirituality at an 8 so your goal is to get the finances to an 8. The question becomes what do I do to bring the finances up? Here are some tips:

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: Arnel Pineda And Other Inspirational Lessons

Spiritual Awakening: Arnel Pineda And Other Inspirational Lessons

I chose to highlight Arnel Pineda today as he shows us all the power of spirituality and using our talents to improve our life and the lives of others. When you read Arnel’s full biography at wikipedia you learn of the hardships he faced and how he never lost faith and kept doing what he loved to do. Being passionate and taking action will often lead to success.  I found hos story to be inspirational and it is my hope that when things are challenging on your spiritual path that you will take his story and others shared here to help you face these challenges and continue on your path.

 

 The lead voice in this song is that of Arnel Pineda, a young Filipino who was discovered on YOUTUBE by the lead guitarist of Journey. This is a snipet of Arnel’s story. Videos of The Zoo performing cover songs by Journey, Survivor, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Air Supply, The Eagles, Kenny Loggins, Stryper and other popular acts from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, began appearing on YouTube.com in February 2007. On June 28, 2007,[8] Neal Schon of Journey contacted Noel Gomez, a longtime fan and friend of Pineda who uploaded many of these videos, to ask for Pineda’s contact information. Schon sent an e-mail to Pineda inviting him to audition for Journey. Pineda initially dismissed the e-mail as a hoax, but after being persuaded by Gomez, he finally replied to Schon’s e-mail. Ten minutes later, Pineda received a phone call from Schon.[9] On August 12,[10] Pineda, along with his manager Bert de Leon, flew to Marin County, just north of San Francisco, for a two-day audition.[11][12] The star-struck Pineda was welcomed warmly but he described the audition as “nerve-wracking, tense”.[13] On December 5, 2007, Pineda was announced as the lead singer of Journey. CNN Headline News ran the story as part of their “News to Me” segment.[14]

Spiritual Awakening: Are Your Actions Speaking Louder Than Words?

Spiritual Awakening: Are Your Actions Speaking Louder Than Words?

 This blog entry was inspired by the BEEGEES Song Words. I listened to the lyrics and realized that many times it is not our words that do the speaking but our actions.  This led me to ask the question are your actions speaking louder than your words? When you become an action taker and act upon your words that is when you begin to experience and create the life that you want. How many times in the last month have you said I am going to do something and you put it off amd began to make excuses for not taking action? When you say you are going to do something it is important to take action steps to make it happen and to stay committed. There will be up and downs, however when the project is complete you will experience a joy knowing that your actions spoke louder than your words.

 Goethe a German Poet is often creddited with the following  quote. It is when you take action that good things begin to unfold. It is when you come alive and awake that you heed your calling and find that your actions speak louder than your words.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

Spiritual Awakening: Are You Living Your Purpose?

Spiritual Awakening: Are You Living Your Purpose?

I have read Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life and use it as a reference to help me stay focused on the endeavors that I have undertaken. I have discovered through out the years that my purpose is to help others be it with improving their business or enhancing their personal life. I often ask myslef Am I Living My Purpose? Am I do all I can do to help others get what they want so I will get what I want?  I have been living my purpose over the last few years as evidenced by my work with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life, as I believe in the concept of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. I have a purpose to get the word out and raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services and thus have set up a page at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman to fufill this purpose. On February 23-24, 2013 I will be part of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton at Loggers Run Middle School.  This is waht led me to write this entry today as  I ask are you living your purpose?

       

The question is how do I find my purpose and how do I live my life on purpose?  First you must look inside and find what makes you come alive and then find a way to integrate that into your life. Secondly you must block out those who say you can not do it and find the confidence to follow your purpose. And thirdly it is imperative that you continue to nourish your mind, body, and soul by learning and feeding your purpose. Everyday that youa re awake is another day to live your purpose. There will be messages that lead you to your purpose. It is importantant that you take action on that message and follow your passion so you can live on purpose.

Spiritual Awakening: Making The Change- Honoring Mahatma Gandhi

Spiritual Awakening: Making The Change-Honoring Gandhi

 

 I found this video by MC Yogi honoring Mahatma Gandhi who would have been 147  years old yesterday (10/2/12). I think of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and his fortitude to stand on his principles and have an entire nation follow. In honoring Gandhi and make a decision to be principled in spirit you are moving further on your spiritual path so that you can also change the world. You have a power inside of you to make changes in yourself that will change others and thus one by one the world is changed.

 Gandhi’s message of finding your power inside gives us insight into the way our spirit works. When we take action to find the power inside of us we begin to find all of our inner talents and when we develop the talents and use them for the power of good good things begin to happen. We begin to have an awakening and thus by being conscious and awake we are able to move in a positive direction to change ourselves and to change others.

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Down And Enjoy The Moment

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Down And Enjoy The Moment

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by this Simon and Garfunkel song Feeling Groovy as I began to realize how important it is to slow down and enjoy the moment. It is very importnat to be an action taker and to move forward in a positive direction with all that you, however you also must realize that there comes a time to slow down and relish the moment. Imagine finding out that you were selected to be part of a book, you write your chapter and then you wonder what is next instead of taking it in and writing in your gratitude journal that today I am grateful for the opportunity to share with others to help them excel. Many times we get so caught up in the what is next that we forget what we have done.

 It is when we are relaxed and that we take time to reflect the moments that we achieved greatness that we truly can move forward. What moments of greatness have you not had a time to celebrate as you kept wondering what is next.  The idea is take time to celebrate and cherish the moment before you move on the the next thing.

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming Of Angels On A Rainy Night

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming of Angels On A Rainy Night

This blog post was inspired by Abba’s song I Have A Dream. As I sat in Starbucks on a rainy dark Friday Night after what was a challenging day as my car didn’t start and all my pland needed to be adjusted and then spending $246 on repairs which set me back a bit and put me in a finacial perdiciment that I wasn’t planning for I realized that many times when something negative occurs it is our belief in Angels and staying positive that comes through so I took a deep breath and  decided that I would write an entry to empower and inspire the reader.  I sat and began to take moment to look deep inside and to ask my angels to guide me and they all kept saying share your dreams and ask others to share their dreams.

My dream is for the angels to guide me to one day announce large sporting events like a Superbowl and to bring much joy to all those in attendance. This is a big dream and I know with the help of the angels that it can come true. When you seek guidance and support you can turn to your angels and the answers will appear. I think of so many times when I have asked the angels for guidance and they have directed me to the right place showing that everything is in divine order the way it should be.
