Spiritual Awakening: Pressing On!!!
As I drove to Starbucks today (5/23/14) I was listening to Reach FM and this song was playing on the radio. I started to think since my spiritual awakening how many times I have pressed on despite the trials and tribulations that have been presented in my life. I have been asked several times JDOGG how do you keep moving forward? My answer, I become an action taker and I press on. I have come to realize during the spiritual awakening process that there are some that will, some that won’t so I say so what as there are some waiting and move on to the next person. I have discovered that I will not resonate or have a vibrational mix with everyone and that not everyone will share my passion and enthusiasm for life. The key is to be committed to pressing on and moving in a positive direction of your goals and dreams. I have discovered that as long as I shine my light and give glory to GOD that I will be able to press on and find success.
In pressing on I have adopted this as an anthem to remind me to continue on my quest toward spiritual enlightenment. I have begun to ask myself everyone morning how I can be of service and value to others? I have made it a point to press on by being committed to make a difference in the lives of others and thus enhance my personal and professional life. In pressing on and never giving up I have been able to experience a myriad of successes. In taking action and getting involved in the community I have seen changes being made because of people coming alive and committing to press on and stay positive. In pressing on I have had dreams come true like announcing a championship football game or emceeing a large community event.
I was reflecting during the spiritual awakening process as I was working through releasing what a sixth grade teacher had told me 37 years ago that I wouldn’t amount to much. I shred the story how I overcame the diagnosis of a specific learning disability and the negatives associated with that diagnosis. I got my payback in 1988 when I was assigned to substitute teach at my old middle school. There I was in the teacher’s lounge when that teacher came in an I stood up and introduced myself and told her that I substituting teaching there and asked so how are you liking me know. This story reminds me that no one can hold you back but yourself and how important it is to overcome and press on.
As the New Year Approaches and we move forward into 2014 remember that what you give you get back. This time of the year is a great time to become an action taker and design an anthem for you to follow so as to continue to expand your spiritual awakening and continue on your path to awakening. In many cases your Karma Cleanse will mean making amends with those you have wronged and those that have wronged you. You may desire to severe ties with those who no longer serve you, eliminate the things that no longer serve you, and commit to being a positive light for others to see. When you begin to take care of you and get in balance you will find you are more centered and grounded and thus more good things happen for you.
