Spiritual Awakening: In Your Face!!!

Spiritual Awakening: In Your Face!!!

I can not tell you how many times along my spiritual awakening journey that I wanted to look at someone who was being negative or who responded to me in a negative way and say in your face. Understanding that people will not always resonate with me or do things the way I would do them has allowed me to not be confrontational and to continue in a positive direction of my goals and objectives in my personal and professional life.

you need to stop pushing this issue about donating. it  is NOT GOOD TO SHOVE IT DOWN PEOPLE’S THROATS. if this is what you want to do then YOU DO IT PRIVATELY but DO NOT PUSH THIS ONTO OTHERS.

Spiritual Awakening: The Great Discovery!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Great Discovery!!!

I watched today as some people observed Columbus Day and others debated why we celebrate a man who took credit for discovering a region that was already inhabited by Indians. Either way it provided a day of reflection as to what one may be discovering about their own self as they experience the spiritual awakening process. Columbus may get credit for discovering America and many may dislike this but the truth is he was the one who went on journey, put together his team of explorers, and secured the funding.  What Columbus’ adventures teaches us is that in order to grow in spirit we must be willing to take a journey, find people to lift us up on this journey, and invest in ourselves so as to make the journey successful. Along the way we will face many trials and tribulations and in overcoming them we will become stronger. Even after our initial journey is complete we will find that there will be those that continue to doubt us or who want to strip us of our accomplishments. There will be those who are consumed with the ugly head of jealousy that we must avoid and cut ties with so that our journey towards spiritual enlightenment can continue. As Columbus has his detractors even after all these years he still has his supporters. It is important to always align yourself with supporters so that you can continue to take action and make your own discoveries.

Like the crew of The Space Shuttle Discovery who went to explore space and as a result grew in mind, body, and spirit we too must take a journey to discover ourselves and thus create a mind, body, soul connection that allows us to flourish and to discover who we are and what our purpose is.  We need not go as far as space sometimes it could be a small walk to an area that we created to be our sacred space so that we can meditate upon the questions that we are seeking answers to. In finding our sacred space and being willing to delve deep into who we are and what our purpose is we begin to come alive by answering our calling and creating changes in ourselves that allow us to grow in spirit, in finances, in relationships, and in all that we do. It is when we begin to make great discoveries about ourselves that we are more able to make positive changes to bring things to fruition thus exceeding all goals we have set. In discovering who we are and what we are meant to do we are able to construct a plan with divine guidance that allows us to detach from outcomes, to overcome negative self talk, to leave all negative emotional charges behind, thus allowing us to follow our dreams and remove the naysayers from our life. There will always be doubters and haters and those who do not understand you and it is important to remove these people from your life and surround yourself with lifters, encouragers, and supporters.  One of the discoveries that I made recently is that it is important to go where I am celebrated not tolerated. I have stayed away from many events and activities where I did not feel appreciated and comfortable. This had led to the discovery that I have value and if I do not value myself no one else will. I have come to the realization that it is a fact of life that not everyone is going to like you and resonate with your message so stop trying to be a people pleaser and begin to honor yourself and GOD.  I have discovered that regardless of the material things you have acquired unless you are service and value to others all that has now meaning.

Spiritual Awakening: The Final At Bat Finishing Strong!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Final At Bat Finishing Strong!!!

BOSTON (AP) -- Derek Jeter tacked one last hit onto his remarkable career, then waved his helmet in a final farewell to the major leagues. SuccessfulFinal at bat-FeatureDerek Jeeter  stepped to the plate at historic Fenway Park in what would be his final at bat in a 20 year career. Jeeter finished strong in dramatic fashio as he hit a single which also gave him a RBI (Run Batted  In). As I watched Jeeter’s final at bat I began to think how perhaps some divine guidance was involved as he always carried himself with dignity and grace being of service and value wherever he went. I began to ponder how our final bat will be?Will our spiritual awakening lead us to be like Jeeter and him that game winning RBI or perhaps a Homerun. The key is to start with the end in mind and take the action steps necessary to move forward in our spiritual awakening and work toward spiritual enlightenment.   Today ask yourself how your final at bat in life will be remembered.

 In that final at bat will you finally understand that you have name and the legacy you leave will forever be associated with that name.  Will you live out your dream and finish strong or will you simply coast and look back and wonder what might have been or could have been. The days of should ofs, could ofs, and would ofs need to be retired and the days of doing must be implemented.  In living up to your name in every at bat especially that final at bat is tantamount to personal and spiritual growth. I was recently told that my name Jonathan meant sent from GOD. I take this very seriously when I step tot he plate of life and take my at bats.  My Hebrew name is Yusel Simcha, meaning Jonathan The Blessing. I have taken this to heart in everything that I do as I do my best to bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity to all I come in contact with.  In all the at bats we have leading up to that final at bat we should be able to say I did my best and I finished strong. Each time we think we struck out we must take a breath and internalize what we learned so the next time we can hit that single, double, triple, or home run.  We have the chance each time that we step to the plate of life to swing for the fences and make a positive impact in the world. Ask yourself how you want your final at bat to be and then do all you can to manifest that outcome.

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Waiting For?

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Waiting For?

 Today’s entry was inspired by Nickelback’s song what are you waiting for? In the spiritual awakening process it is important to become an action taker and do things with a sense of purpose and passion. I have learned over the years that you either find a way or you find an excuse. It is said that the wealthiest people are found in a cemetery as their ideas and dreams died with them because they kept waiting or they listened to the naysayers. So many times people do not embrace their spiritual gifts and GOD Given Talents that it becomes to late because as they sit on their death bed recounting what could have been, what might have been, or what they should have been their time runs out. To avoid any regrets in your final days take action on your idea implement it and see what happens. Sometimes you just have to take it to the streets.

Collinsville Relay for Life kicks of Jan. 23 A few years ago I had an idea to run POINTS FOR THE CURE FOOTBALL EDITION and I was doing it every week with not so much success so this year I tweaked the idea and I am now taking it to the streets to be run from 10/22-28/2014 where people will choose their favorite College or Professional Football Team and after they play will visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and donate $.25 (25 cents) per point that their team scored.  I have been utilizing a 3 foot rule where I share this information. Many people have been receptive and think it is a great idea as it combines something they like watching with helping a good cause. The key is to come up with the idea then implement it and make changes so it evolves.  I have learned that in all you do you must take action and take it to the streets. Let people hear your message and build their trust as people want to engage with people they know, like, and trust.  Ask yourself why am I hesitating, what am I waiting for then take action and start. Sometimes it is turning to GOD ans seeking to have a fire started in you.

Spiritual Awakening: How Is Your Oil?

Spiritual Awakening: How is Your Oil?

CHECK_YOUR_OIL_LOGO_273x239In the spiritual awakening process one of the necessary things to do to become an action taker is to check your oil. After you check your oil and you see that the viscosity is low you need to change the oil and refuel. Just like a car needing to change oil every 3,000 miles you as a spiritual being may need to change your oil by putting in better fuel as you make the mind, body, soul connection. In the spiritual awakening process you begin to see the warning signs more clearly as to when your oil is getting gunked up and blocking you from moving forward on your path. Sometimes I wish that my body had a  warning light like the one in my car that would help to identify the problems before they occur so that I could take proactive action to make the changes necessary to unclog my body and mind from that which is interfering with my ability to move forward in the positive direction of my dreams.  Well I no longer have to wish for a warning light as I have created my own spiritual guidance system as I am in tune  with the emotions that gunk up the works. In recognizing those emotions I am able to counteract then simple by making a decision to change the oil.  In making a decision to change the oil in the car our car runs better; it is the same thing with our life when we understand our calling and we make a change in our thoughts we come alive and our oil flows better.

Spiritual Awakening: Disposing Of The Oil?

If our oil is really bad we must set it a blaze and release the bad oil to make room for the good oil to flow. When the bad oil fire is put out let it cool and then release the ashes not to enter your body again. After you dispose of the bad oil make a commitment to put good oil into your body and focus on the good and replenishing the good oil. In putting good oil into your body you will be able to easily dispose of the bad oil and thus clear blockages that may have been holding you back from manifesting the goodness that you deserve into your personal and professional life. In disposing of the bad oil you open up the channels needed for the good oil to flow and thus enabling yourself to detach from situations or things that no longer serve you.

Spiritual Awakening: Doing The Deed!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Doing The Deed!!!

 

As school started today in South Florida I began to reflect on all the dirty deeds that I did while in high school and the lessons that these deeds contained. From 1979-1983 I was a bit of a rebel and my rebellious actions often landed me in Internal Suspension. This rebellious side also led to many good deeds being done as I was able to reflect and turn the rebellious side into a positive side. It was when I decided to take action and confront my rebellious side that I had an awakening of sorts that kept telling me there must be a better way. As I matured I began to understand that the dirty deeds needed to stop and the good deeds had to take over. By committing then to do good deeds and to be of service and value I began to see a more positive shift in my life. As I began to walk a spiritual path and do what was right in my heart I began to grow and great things started to happen. I was beginning to feel fulfilled as I was helping others and as a result I was helping myself. I began to get recognized for my good deeds. It was when I decided to change that my life began to change. In 1983 I was accepted to 4 colleges, University Of Maryland, American University, Stetson University, and Hofstra University. I chose Hofstra and in The Fall of 1983 I began a journey that would change my life. In 4.5 years I would learn so much about myself and I would see that I was evolving asa spiritual being. My ways of doing things were a bit different and yet highly effective. As I look back on the deeds done in college I can tell you that most of them were good and changed some lives.  In 1989 I joined The Jaycees.Junior Chamber of Commerce and learned a lesson that I use as a mantra today That Service To Humanity Is The Best Work Of Life. One of the things that I learned through out the spiritual awakening process was that we weren’t born to follow.

As I began to embrace the fact  that we were not born to follow that we were born for a purpose and to lead I realized that the best leaders are the ones who allow others to aspire to leadership roles. Some will say that we all ca not be leaders and the truth is that yes we can as we can lead our lives as leaders in our lives that we can do what we believe in our heart and follow our heart. The only two people we have to follow is GOD and yourself. If  we tap into our genius and step into our power we will lead the life that GOD has prepared for us and no one else’s life. So many time we are told what we should do or what we have to do by people that don’t understand that we were not born to follow we were born to stand out. To these people I say I will do what I believe will honor GOD and myself and all will work out in the end as it is divinely planned.  In many cases we must detach ourselves from those who want us to follow and we must take the path that GOD has provided for us. It is when we learn to hold on to our dreams that we are able to understand the plan that GOD has for us and to better follow his plan by doing the deeds he has set out for us.

Spiritual Awakening: Opening Your Eyes!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Opening Your Eyes!!!

As I awoke this morning I did my gratitude prayer as part of the spiritual awakening process. As I laid down in meditation a message kept coming to me, open your eyes. I then asked open my eyes to what and an avalanche of answers came to me.  As I came out of meditation I began to think how we can no longer turn a blind eye to what is happening in the world. We must acknowledge that there is evil at work and if we are going to turn the tide of negativity we must be aware and open our eyes to what is happening. As spiritual beings we can no longer shut out the rest of the world and pretend that everything is fine while  wars in the name of religion are being staged all over the world. Extremism seems to be ruling the headlines today as people are using religious beliefs to justify the killing that is happening around the world. It is time that we all begin to realize that we are all interconnected  and that regardless of what we call GOD we must all respect life by opening our eyes and understanding we are more alike then different. I have learned that we can all coexist if we respect each other and do not force our views on others or condemn others for not sharing the same beliefs we may have. One of the things that I learned over the years is that we are all divine children of GOD and GOD loves us all equally.  Unfortunately since the beginning of time wars have been fought over religion because people on each side of the religious spectrum are so busy trying to indoctrinate others into their way of thinking that they lose sight of the fact that we are all share a spiritual connection and can coexist.  Gandhi once stated that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The killing will not end until we decide to love ourselves more than we hate others. I have often stated that the way things are and the way things should be  are two different things. In a perfect world people would get together on the same wave length and help one another.  People would see that we are all divine children of GOD and would celebrate and applaud each other. In a perfect world we would put down our weapons and exchange hugs and share love with everyone and see how we all could be of service and value. The reality of the situation is that as long as there are extremists trying to force their beliefs and their are people watching the news about this it will continue.

18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. (Psalm ... This is a prayer I share with you so that we can all open our eyes and see that all those we come on contact with are beautiful in some way.

Spiritual Awakening: Tapping Into Your Genius!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Tapping Into Your Genius!!!

 

 

When I sat down with Priscilla Dames of www.wingspanseminars.net we discussed the importance of becoming an action taker and sharing knowledge with others to help other people excel. In the spiritual awakening process one begins to expand their knowledge and understanding and thus begins to hone there skills to such a level that they can share it with others. As a result of wanting to share knowledge Priscilla Dames has put together this workshop designed to help people to tap into their genius and find ways to monetize their genius. When someone mentions money and spirituality many tend to cringe because they do not yet have the mindset that it is okay to sell your genius and be spiritual and rich.

Bible Verses For Prosperity Job 36:11 HD WallpaperVerses On Prosperityhttp://jumpei-mitsui.com/aboutme/prayers-quotes

All through out the bible the idea of prosperity is spoken to us and the key element that creates the prosperity is being a giver. I have always believed that if you are in a position to give than give and give cheerfully. If you are in a place where you can be of service and value be of service and value and you will be rewarded. I have also come to realize through the spiritual awakening process that it is okay to be compensated fairly for your talents. A few blog entries prior to this one I spoke of  The Parable Of Talents and how GOD rewards those that use their talents for good and punishes those who squander their talents. I have come to understand that there are enough people who seek your talent that you do not have to worry about competition for GOD will deliver those who are seeking your talents and he will reaffirm that you are deserving to be compensated  fairly.

Spiritual Awakening: A Tribute To Greatness- Maya Angelou

Spiritual Awakening: A Tribute To Greatness – Maya Angelou

When the news came across my Facebook Feed that Maya Angelou had been called home to GOD today (5/28/2014) my heart sank as she was a pioneer, an icon, a leader, an action taker, and an inspiration. Her legacy will be one of hope, success, and change. Maya Angelou played a major role in my spiritual awakening as it was her writing and her presence on this earth that helped me to understand many of the spiritual philosophies and beliefs that I had been studying. Maya Angelou was courageous as she fought for what she believed in and as a result affected change. As we celebrate her life we ask ourselves what will our legacy be? We ask what will become our memorable anthem. How far will our spiritual awakening take us?

 Maya Angelou was an award winner whose contributions to the world will live on in each of us. As we continue to find our inner divinity and share it with others we can learn from the many teachings of Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou  answered her calling and embraced it and as a result has inspired people to come alive and make a positive change in their lives. She brought entire communities together and taught us to detach from our preconceived notions and to rise about all judgments.

Spiritual Awakening: FREE Hugs For Everyone!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: FREE Hugs For Everyone!!!!

About The Author This is me with Leslie of www.feelthehugs.com. As I reflect back on all that Leslie and her sister Karen have done to spread the idea of feeling the hugs I have a warm feeling in my heart. In the spiritual awakening process I have learned just how important feeling the hugs is and thus I have created FREE HUGS FRIDAY, where I go to a specific location on a Friday afternoon with my FRRE HUGS sign and hang it in hopes that people will come over and inquire about getting a free hug. A life change can start with just a compassionate hug between people so as to recognize that we are all special and that we can all relate to one another on a cellular level through a hug.  A hug releases oxytocin  in the body which in turn send positive vibes through out the central nervous system and as a result you feel better.

As I am writing this entry I am sitting in The Starbucks and a gentleman just came over and gave me a hug as a result of seeing my sign. It was a great feeling and I said thank you . He left with a smile and seemed to have a little pep in his step.  In giving out FREE HUGS we begin to see a shift in the attitude of those around us.  I watch the reaction of some as the see my sign and I think it shocks them as they don’t expect to see someone showing love and compassion to strangers as our society has become accustomed to seeing bad things and thus have become very desensitized to the negative and programed to accept it. With FREE HUGS we can shift the consciousness of our world one hug at a time. Imagine if everyone reading this entry decided that next Friday (5/23/14) they would make a  FREE HUGS Sign and put it up in their office or at the table they were sitting at for lunch. My FREE HUGS Sign reads FREE HUGS www.the-spiritualawakening.com STAY POSITIVE FREE HUGS.  In answering the calling to be of love and positivity and giving out FREE HUGS I have found that not only am I enhancing the personal and professional lives of others I am also improving my personal and professional life.
