Burger King – Spiritual Awakening

Spiritual Awakening: Have It Your Way!!!

Burger King 1974 "Have It Your Way" commercial I remember being a kid in South Florida and hearing The Burger King Jingle. I didn’t know then the impact of the words Have It Your Way would actually have on me until much later in life as I decided that I was going to explore my spirituality and embrace the divinity that I have inside of me. As I started do things my way as directed by GOD I found myself having incredible successes. Through my journey I have learned that we all come to our spiritual awakening on our own terms. I have discovered that everyone is on a spiritual path however we are all at different locations along the way. Some of us have come to understand that we are a divine child of GOD and God doesn’t make any junk. Many of us come to understand that the purpose GOD has for us n much larger than anything that we can humanely imagine. People ask me all the time JDOGG aren’t you concerned what other s will think? My answer is that I used to be but today I go with the direction GOD has in mind. Sometimes people are quick to judge without getting to know you and they lose out on a great opportunity to really grow personally, spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. I have been at events where spirit moved me to break dance and do a cartwheel and some people were intrigued by this and came to speak to me while others avoided me. Those that avoided me missed out on an opportunity to delve into some of my spiritual lessons that have helped me to become one of The Top 5 Jaycees in America, The 2008 American Cancer Society Hope Award Winner, A Governor’s Point Of Light Award Winner, and a Top Speaker for The Florida Jaycees.By doing things my way I have ruffled a few feathers but I have come to learn that if you are shining your light and walking your path that you will have haters. The key is to keep doing things your way and allowing GOD to divinely intervene in your life. GOD will direct you along the path. It is up to you to follow the guidance of GOD and not allow others to hold you back. So many times we worry about what others might say and we hold ourselves back and never realize our full potential. I think the idea is to have it your way and embrace life and allow yourself to be divinely guided.

Spiritual Awakening: Life Is A Coloring Book!!!

As I sat in Burger King with my FREE HUGS, STAY POSITIVE Sign I began to contemplate the fact that Life Is A Coloring Book, which led to the furthering of my own spiritual awakening. I began to look at the colors I decided to use on the sign and I realized that each had a meaning and that I was guided by source to use certain colors as I wrote the sign. I then chose to explore the meaning of colors and what it means to look at life as a coloring book. We can choose to stay with the lines and limit ourselves or we can color outside the lines and be limitless in all we do. We have the ability to color our own world and to shine our light in our own coloring book as we begin to awaken spiritually and explore the horizons that we see. When we take a moment to see GOD’S creations in this coloring book we begin to see the beauty that is all around us and with this recognition of beauty we also see the beauty in ourselves. When we pick up our spiritual crayons and we begin to draw out our beauty we begin to find beauty in others and the world around us improves. We may ask why did I choose the color car drive or the color of the walls in my home, or the colors that I like and now we know it is because life is a coloring book.

In my coloring book I have a sign that I brought to life in hopes of inspiring people and touching their lives with a positive thought for the day. Everyone’s coloring book will have different pictures that inspire and empower them to take action. It was a big step for me to make this sign and bring it to life and share it in public as at first I was fearful about what people would think, then I took that deep breathe, meditated, and understood it doesn’t matter what other people will say. What matters is that I bring my coloring book to life and touch lives as I walk my spiritual path. It is in the journey in our coloring book that we begin to discover our authentic self and we then express ourselves by shining our light.
