Spiritual Awakening: Live For The Today!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Live For Today!!!

Today’s (6/7/2019) entry is dedicated to my DAD, Jack Lederman, who was called home to GOD on June 7,2018. My DAD taught me the importance of living for today. At the beginning of each month he would take action and pay the bills and inform me well we are good for another month. When my DAD passed I was devastated emotionally and didn’t know what would happen next. DAD passed without a will and I still haven’t done the probate paperwork as I have been scrambling to keep the condo, pay bills, and eat. I have set up a GO FUND ME PAGE at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and more and thanks to the generosity of others I have been able to get by and move forward in my efforts to be of service and value to others. As Father’s Day approaches my gift to my DAD will be living for the day making sure that I live my life in joy and that my life brings joy to others. Every day I have thought about my DAD as something has come up that has triggered a memory. Tonight (6/7/2019) I will watch The NBA Finals and I will think of how my DAD would watch games together and how many times he would encourage me to do a play by play or game analysis and then he would say where have I heard that before as the broadcaster would say what I had said a few moments earlier. The passing of my DAD into the spiritual realm we refer to as heaven has been a spiritual awakening of sorts as I have come to realize that you can live for today but you must also plan for the future and let go of the past in order to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In living for today you begin to seize the opportunities that are presented to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life.

Spiritual Awakening: Hands Of Time!!!

As I sat in Starbucks today (8/22/2015) reflecting on the past few days and some of the trials and tribulations that I faced I realized that I can not go back and change what had occurred as the hands of time already passed and have brought me to the moment where I am at now. I have often stated what was, was, what is, is, and what shall be, shall be. If we spend to much time trying to turn back the hands of time or projecting the future we lose sight of the present and the many joyous things that are happening in our life. One of the things that I have learned through the spiritual awakening process is that you can not change time as that is the one constant that remains in everyone’s life. It is up to us how we use the hands of time that we have been given. If we focus on the sadness of past losses instead of the joy we had with people in our lives we fail to grow personally, professionally, or spiritually. If we keep bring up past victories and don’t go after new challenges we stay stick and thus do not manifest the life we desire or the life that GOD has planned for us. If we sit and reflect about what might have been or what will happen we never evolve to be the person that simply lives in the moment. None of knows what tomorrow may bring all we know that yesterday is gone and tomorrow may not come and that is why they call today a present. I have shared in the past a ritual I do in the morning as I say this is the day the lord hath made be glad and rejoice in it, I then write in my gratitude journal, then I read Rev. Dee Adio Mosses, Heal Your Life, and Maryanne Morrisey’s book,Miracle Minute. In doing this I manage to stay focused and grounded and live in the present moment allowing the hands of time to turn as they may.

The reality is that we can not save time in a bottle and thus the fact remains that you must live the life that GOD has given you allowing the hands of time to tick as they may. It is important to make moments count and do the things that you love to do so you will have a sense of purpose and fulfillment. At the end of the day you want to have had the opportunity to love a little, laugh a little, and cry just a little. If you can do those three things you will have had a good day. Many of wish that we can go back in time and change some of the things we said or did and the truth is we can not but we can make amends by first forgiving ourselves fr not using the hands of time to the fullest extent of our capabilities then we must forgive those who may have hindered our growth because they took up many f our hands of time. Today take a moment to look back and forgive and then commit to using the daily hands of time to the best of your ability. many times we get so caught up in the planning that we put off the doing and before we know it the hands of time like the sand in an hour glass has run to the bottom. I have stated on several occasions that would of, could of, and should of need to be stripped from our vocabulary. It is when we realize that we can make a change and we have the ability to use the hands of time to do so. Sometimes it means sacrifices being made and streamlining your priorities so that they are in alignment with GOD’S Plan.
