Spiritual Awakening: Cheerfully Given!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Cheerfully Given!!!

 

cheerful-giver... show it off again via the Relay 411. Check out the 2014 artwork below

As I was collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life on July 4, 2014 at The City of Sunrise Fireworks I stated GOD loves a cheerful giver and one of the attendees put $20 into the canister and said cheerfully given. I took a deep breath and realized I had just met someone who was spiritually awake and who got the concept that when you give you get. Others followed suit and said the same thing cheerfully given.  This led me to think how does the concept of being a cheerful giver relate to the spiritual awakening process.

 

 One of the first facets one adopts as part of  the spiritual awakening process is that of being kind.In being kind and giving you open up channels to receive. When you take action to become a giver you put in motions the wheels of the universe to turn and prosper you. Look at how many times you were cheerful in your giving and the positive impact it had on your personal and professional life.  Giving can be a great anthem to adopt. In giving it is not always about a monetary donation it can be giving services, being a listening ear, giving of time, or simply giving direction. In awakening to the concept of giving you will reap many rewards.

Spiritual Awakening: Changing Your Attitude Changes Your Latitudes!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Changing Your Attitude Changes Your Latitudes!!!!

 Today’s blog entry is inspired  by Jimmy Buffett who puts an interesting spin on the spiritual awakening process with his song, Changes In Attitudes, Changes in Latitude. I have found that when we change the energy that we bring to a project and become an action taker with a positive attitude and detach from the outcome we find more success and thus reach a higher latitude.  Recently I was having what could be perceived as a difficult time in booking guests for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on WRPBiTV on Tuesday at www.wrpbitv.com at 6:30 PM EST. As I looked at how I was approaching the situation and seeing that my energy wasn’t at the level it needed to be  and made a conscious decision to change the way I was doing things I began to book guests.  As I began to understand that part of the spiritual awakening process is to detach from the outcome and allow things to flow everything will fall into the order that GOD has in mind for you. In changing your attitude and not having an attachment to the outcome you begin to create the environment with the proper energy desired to allow you to soar.  You have an ability inside of you to come alive by understanding that you have the ability to manifest your dreams by simply changing your attitude and adjusting your sails to move to a higher latitude.

Spiritual Awakening: Making Positivity A Priority!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Making Positivity A Priority!!!

 When we get up each morning we have a chance to enhance our spiritual awakening by making positivity a priority.  It is when we decide to take action to make positivity a priority that we begin to grow spiritually and thus vibrate on a level that will allow us to be at peak performance and make a mind, body, soul connection.  When we make a conscious decision to find the positive even in situations that appear to be the worst we come through them with a new found perspective and our life moves forward in a positive direction.

 Each day we are bombarded with news stories that may introduce negativity into our  lives and throw our vibration off, however we have the capability to turn the news off and to seek out more positive influences so that we feel better about what is happening in our lives. The choice to make positivity a priority is yours.  You can find positivity in everything even in the passing of a loved one as you begin to understand the circle of life. It is when you embrace the idea of balance and find the positivity that you begin to discover your purpose and calling and thus create the life that you want.

Spiritual Awakening: Letting Your Greatness Shine!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Letting Your Greatness Shine!!!

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by The Gallaudet University Football Team. Gallaudet University is a university specifically for the deaf and hearing impaired. I first learned of Gallaudet a few years ago when my cousin who is hearing impaired came to visit and she shred with me that Gallaudet has a football program. I was fascinated by the way they sent in the signals. I was so intrigued that I started to follow the team. Today (12/23/13) for the 1st time in the football program’s history they are playing in The Division III Playoffs against Hobart University. These 54 players and coaches inspired me to let my greatness shine and I hope that this entry will encourage you to continue on the path of spiritual awakening and let your greatness shine. may the Gallaudet Bison continue to inspire others to shine bright.

 When I think of greatness I think of Muhamed Ali as he is known as The Greatest. Ali had a certain way of carrying himself that exuded confidence.  Ali also had a very spiritual side to him. he changed his given name of Cascius Clay to Muhamed Ali and he stood up for his beliefs. He was so strong in his conviction that he refused to serve his country in Vietnam.  Many people did not like this decision and it cost Ali many years as he was not allowed to box. he kept his faith and his boxing license was restored and he went on to win the Heavyweight Title on many occasions. Ali was a person who was awakened and enlightened spiritually.  He serves as an example to all to stand their ground and be divinely guided with your decisions. Despite having Parkinson’s Disease he continues to make appearances and inspire others to let their greatness shine.

  It was 50 years ago when  John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. I was not born yet, however I studied Kennedy in school and when applying to colleges in 1983 American University asked as one of  its essay questions, what day in history would you change and why. I chose 11/22/1963 because Kennedy was starting to bring our country together and helping people to have a spiritual awakening. Kennedy being the first Roman Catholic elected to the highest office in The United States Kennedy show many what having a strong faith can do for you. Kennedy also gave people permission to allow their greatness to shine bright as he encouraged people to look a t what they could do for their country. Kennedy also started The U.S. peace Corps in an effort to improve diplomatic relations with other countries. As a Returned U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer I can tell you that serving in The Philippines from July 2002 – February 2003 helped to develop a spiritual foundation that has allowed me to make positive changes in my life.  It is using Kennedy’s example and answering the question of how can I be of service and value that we are able to find our calling and come alive. In coming alive we give others permission to let their greatness shine.

Spiritual Awakening: Building The Motivational Pyramid!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Building The Motivational Pyramid!!!

prgrsvimghttp://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4872263460128479&w=207&h=207&c=8&pid=3.1&qlt=90 In school we all took that required psychology class and what was the one thing that we all remember? Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs. Many of us get as high as Esteem Needs and stop never having the spiritual awakening to become self-actualized. To do this we must go deep inside and find our true calling and purpose. We must tap into the creative being that lives inside of us and begin to understand that we are divine children of GOD and his plan is bigger that we can imagine. In an effort to build the motivational pyramid we must become action takers by understanding the messages that are being given to us.

Spiritual Awakening: The Motivational Pyramid Blueprint!!!!

 When building  anything you need a blueprint so that you can see what the finished product will look like. The same goes with the spiritual awakening plan as you begin to build your motivational pyramid.

The first level is self motivation for you are the only one that can create what you desire. Start by stating I am motivated to______________________________. I have the power to create. I will move positive in the direction of my desire. Make a list of what motivates you and then create the goals that are realistic and attainable  and post them where you can see them. A great tool is to laminate a business card with your daily, weekly, and monthly goals with your action steps so that you can carry them with you to keep you self motivated.  There will be set backs, however for every set back there is progress to be made. A great way to keep motivated is to keep doing positive things for yourself and being grateful for the positive things. Sometimes all it takes to be self motivated is to change the words we use from I have to or I need to I get to. This small shift changes the way you look at things and creates a positive vibration and a good feeling that you strive to repeat.

Spiritual Awakening: Zig Ziglar Leaves Legacy of Inspiration

Spiritual Awakening: Zig Ziglar Leaves Legacy of Inspiration

     

It was abou 10 AM on 11/28/12 when the news came across the wire that Zig Ziglar, The Great Motivator, made his transition at age 86. His lessons will live on for many years as they have been written and recorded and they will resonate as they make sense. Think about the first quote as it shows us that we can be great if we get started. The 2nd quote is so very true as the law of reciprocity is true. The idea of being motivated everyday is importnat as it propels us to success. As I reflected on Zig Ziglar’s teachings I began to think about the idea of being inspired and inspiring others.

     On way to inspire others is to do good deeds. By helping others you begin to find yourself  as you find a joy in the knowledge that your act of love and kindness enhanced someome’s life. One of the good deeds that I do each year is particpiate and emcee The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton. It is my hope to inspire people to support this effort and have them visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman and make a donation.  The good deeds we do will last long after we are gone. I have  asked in past entries what will your legacy be?  Zig Ziglar’s legacy was one of hope and inspiration.

         Self discovery is a great way to find your talents to use to be inspired and to inspire others. If you have a great smile share it and see what happens. It is when you begin to be your authentic self that you are able to enhance your life and then enhance others. Write down I am Great, I make a difference in my life and other’s lives, I give and receive, I shine a light wherever I go and begin to internalize these thoughts and watch your greatness come through.

Spiritual Awakening: Building MO, Keep On Keeping On

Spiritual Awakening: Building MO, Keep On Keeping On

 

Shawn Doyle and Lauren Anderson collobarate on a great book that inspired this blog entry, MO as it explores the lives of everyday people who make the best of their situation and continue to keep on keeping on.  As I interviewed Shawn on 9/3 and Lauren on 9/10 I began to realize that the key to personal development is to be grateful for what you do have and to keep on keeping on. I began to think about all those people who are disgruntled and complain about their circumstances and I feel ike bgrabbing them and saying hey wake up it is not the circumstances, the economy, or others it is you. I know I can not physically do that so I use this blog as an outlet to encourage others to build motivation in their lives and in the lives of others. I am reminded of The Zig Ziglar quote “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. ” It is in doing something motivational daily that we develop and grow.may times it is jus engaging someone you meet out in public just by saying hello.  I have often stated that I use a 3 foot rule, where if someone is within 3 feet of me I will talk to them. Thank you to Lisa Douglas Past President of The Florida Jaycees for first teaching me this technique.

       

Spiritual Awakening: What is MO?

What is MO?
Most people think that motivation for them is out of reach. They have an average job at an average company. This book is intended to give people hope by shining the light on people who are in average regular jobs but are amazing.
In the book we offer inspiring profiles of a Service Advisor, Hot Dog vendor, Airline Gate Agent, Seafood Market Owner, Construction worker, Seamstress, Fitness Trainer, and a Taxi driver who all have the magic MO! qualities.
These were people in ordinary jobs, but despite that fact, they decided NOT to be ordinary. They performed their jobs brilliantly, exceptionally, differently and exceeded everyone’s expectations of what that job “should” be every day. More importantly everyone around them knows it, sees it and acknowledges it.
