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: The Joy of Positivity

Spiritual Awakening: The Joy of Positivity

I was asked JDOGG, how do you manage to stay so positive in the face of all that you have been through. The answer is that it takes more strength to frown than it does to smile and as bad as things seem there is always something positive to be found in it.  In is when we make a decision to do the best we can with the tools that we have and to follow the messages that we receive that we begin to find the joy of positivity. An example I use in my recent traffic ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign I am in the process of making arrangement to go to one of the ticket fix it places and I knwo everything will work out, the best case scenerio is I end up with no points and no school worse case I get points and pay the full fine, either way I rejoice because no one was hurt and I learned the lesson to be more aware and to slow down.  I am joyful that I still get to drive and that I I didn’t create an accident.

      

I have always maintained a positive attitude knowing that the power to find the joy of positivity lies within me. I cand be upset by things that happen and the people involved or I can choose to face it in a positive manner and smile and move forward in a positive direction of my goals. We all have the power to be action takers and adopt an anthem of positivity. We become award winners when we are awake to our calling by choosing to come alive and make the changes that are needed to build a community and follow our dreams. It is when we are aware of our emotions and the effect they have on the situation that we can come to grips with our feelings and find the people to fellowship with that will help to get us in the flow. It is when we begin to finish what we started and move forward that we experience the joy of positivity.

Spiritual Awakening: How is Your Flow?

Spiritual Awakening: How is Your Flow?

This blog entry was inspired by a minor set back that occured this morning. I showed up to work with a client who had booked me for 3 days only to find out she wasn’t able to work with me this week.  At first I was very upset, then I took a deep breath and realized everything will work out and I stayed in the positive flow.    As I was writing this the phone rang and it was my client and we came to an agreement. It is amazing what can happen when we just go with the flow and let things happen. The lesson learned is to breathe and slow down and allow the good to prevail.

 Opening the chakras and being open to receive will increase your flow.

Spiritual Awakening: Understanding Flow

Once we realize that everything is energy we begin to create the ability to harness the energy for good and thus increase our flow. The biggest step is to ubderstand the flow of energy and how it is affecting our state of being in  making the mind, body, soul connection.

 This energy pyramid shows that the greatest energy we have is our spiritual energy, our connection to source and those surrounding us.  It is when we are spiritually energized that all the other aspects of energy allows for positive flow. The key is to get centered and balanced and look for the good in the energy field. Today the client cancelled, which is disappointing, howver it freed me up to do a blog entry and seek some other opportunities and follow up on a few projects.

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Calling?

 Spiritual Awakening: What Is Your Calling?

A question I am often asked is JDOGG, How do I find my calling? I answer with by seeing what is bringing you joy in your life and bringing joy to others. In finding your calling their may be challenges like the one I had this month where I took a job at a local bowling center and after 10 days was let go and told that I wasn’t meeting the owners expectations. I took this as a sign that GOD had a better plan for me. After I clocked out and told a few people the phone rang and it was another bowling center seeking a volunteer coach. I took this as God’s way of telling me that I was not meant to be behind the counter of a bowling center handing out shoes, and ringing people up for their bowling, but that I was meant to use my gift and coach and thus create joy for myself and others. Eachtime I have left a job or been asked to leave a job I have realized it is one more brick on the path to finding my calling.

 Finding your calling is an everyday path that we walk as we continue to look at how we are spending our day. One way to find your calling is to track your day and make notes about the things that you are doing and the feelings they evoke.

Spiritual Awakening: Honoring The Power of Women

 Oprah is a great example of using your power for good. She has created a huge entrprise from humble beginning and eventually taking over a genre that was dominated by men for many years. On this International Women’s Day I celebrate her and all the powerful women that are changing the culture of their respective industries.

Spiritual Awakening: The Power of Women

Today (3/8/12) is International Women’s Day thus in honor of this special day I chose to honor all women who are making a positive difference in their lives and the lives of others. In the last few years I have had the honor to meet many great women and I have seen them do many great things. I am often inspired by these women who have become powerful inspirations for others. When I was selecting the honorees for The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards being held on 3/24 at  The Unity Church in Pompano Beach, FL I started to realize that the majority of my honorees are women. Each of the women I have selected have a great story of  giving back to the community.  Each women exemplifies the idea of having a vision and bringing it to fruition. I applaud and celebrate these women for stepping into their power and sharing it with others.

 Halle Berry represents strength and courage in an industry that for years was dominated by men. Her commitment to helping other excel can be seen in her charitable endeavors.
