Spiritual Awakening: Putting Things In Perspective!!!
If you have visited the blog before you know that I am very active with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2021 marks my 24th year as a volunteer. In the past I want to be the #1 fundraiser for my local Relay For Life and now I want to be the #100 fundraiser because if I raise $1000 and 99 people do the same we raise $100,000 to help fund research, education, advocacy, and services. As I have been experiencing a spiritual awakening I have come to realize that it is important to put things into perspective. It is important to find your why which in my case for volunteering with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life my why is all the people that I have lost to cancer. In participating in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I am able to honor their memories and hopefully one day no one will have to hear the words you have cancer. In being passionate and outspoken about my involvement with The American Cancer Society I have encountered doubters, haters, and naysayers however I do not allow these encounters to get me down as I understand that not everyone will share my views and this is okay fort hose who my message resonates with will respond in a positive way.
One way I have learned to put things into perspective is to find ways to lift others up and to be of service and value in all that you do. This photo is from a seminar I conducted titled All You Have Tod Do Is Ask!!! The idea was to show people that they could achieve their goals by simply asking people for assistance. During the presentation I stated remember so will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. Prior to my presentation I was a bit disappointed as there wasn’t a big turn out. In the past I would have been upset but on that day I realized that those needing to hear the message were in attendance and I needed to give them an awesome presentation. In the end I received all types of accolades from the attendees. This woke me up further and reminded me to put things in perspective.
I hosted a TV Show, The Anything Bucket, on www.wrpbitv.com for a few years and am thankful to Wayne Filowitz who taught me valuable lessons of putting things into perspective. I would interview guests and off them an opportunity to purchase the clip from the show which if leveraged properly can be a very good marketing tool. I had many people say yes to being interviewed and buying their clip and I had many that said they didn’t want to be interviewed and yes there were those who didn’t buy their clip. I would spend hours wondering how people who claimed to be successful would turn down the opportunity to get their message out then one day I sat back and realized that not everyone is going to see the benefits of what you are offering. It again reminded me to put things into perspective.
Many times it is when we change the way we look at things by coming from a spiritual perspective we begin to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. When we look at the times we felt connected to GOD and the times we felt disconnected we will see a vast difference in how things unfolded in our life. It is when we stay connected to GOD, Jesus, Source, Spirit, The Ascended Masters, and our Angels that we can see things clearly and thus put things into perspective so that we can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. Along the way we will will have challenges however if we put things into perspective and face everything and rise we will be stronger and triumphant. It is understanding that we have a power to change our perspective and to look at things in a way that we never did before. It is when we see things from different angles that we can see everything through each other’s eyes.
It is when we begin to change perspective that we can begin to work it out and start to bring bliss and abundance into our life and into the lives of others. It is when we begin to have a clear vison of our purpose that we can put things into perspective and begin to be of service to one another. Many times it is not about being right or wrong it is about doing the right thing.
Today is the day for you to gain clarity and perspective.
As I continue along my spiritual journey and become more and more aware and awake I realize how important it is to flush the system so that I progress toward making a mind body and soul connection that will allow me to be of service and value to others. I have found that when I take my body and am conscience of what I am eating I am able to gain clarity in the rest of my life. Just as our body needs flushing from time to time our mind also needs to be cleansed of negativity that causes blockages that keep us from reaching our full potential. When we find ourselves distracted by events that we can not control we must reach deep inside ourselves and tap into the inner divinity we possess so as to get get focused, centered, and grounded. Over the las few months I have come to acknowledge that it is when we take action that we can flush our system while setting in motion the process to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. It is when we remind ourselves that we are divine children of GOD that we prosper and thus we are able to prosper others. The key is to flush your system and then to overcome and adapt to all obstacles that may be standing in the way to your spiritual ascension.
As many of you who read this blog regularly know I am very involved with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2021 marks my 24th year as a participant in this event. Over the years I have had to cleanse my system and make changes so as to help raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. I have a web page http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 where people can make donations. People can also send checks and I process them through the fundraising application on my phone. The application when it works is great unfortunately some time it doesn’t work so I have to use an old system of sending the check to the American Cancer Society Office. Recently I received a check and try as I may my phone application just wouldn’t read it so I had to send it to the American Cancer Society in Tampa as they closed The American Cancer Society Office in Fort Lauderdale due to Covid-19. I was upset and frustrated that something so easy could be made so difficult however I knew I had to flush those thoughts out of my mind and move forward in a positive direction of my goal to raise $2500. As I sat in meditation I received a message that GOD will not give you more than you can handle and that GOD will put you through some challenges to remind you just how strong you are. As I flushed my system of the negatives and focused on the positive and the fact that there is always a solution I found a new energy and was able to press on and continue on the endeavor to make a positive impact on the lives of those touched by cancer. I realized that I have a strength to carry on and give people a spiritual lift simply by cleansing the system and gaining clarity of purpose.
It is when we decide to face everything and rise that we can follow our passion and step into our power to achieve the greatness that is our birthright. It is when we stop worrying what can go wrong and start looking for what can go right that we evolve and reach heights that once seemed unimaginable. It is when we understand just how powerful we are that we change our lives by taking action to move forward in a positive direction of our dreams. Now is your time to follow your passion and shut out the doubters, haters, and naysayers and simply follow your heart so that you can spread your wings and soar. Don’t let people tell you it can’t be done show them that it can be done and that you are doing it. Now is your time to shine your light and illuminate the world. It is your time to take your passion and act upon it by detaching from the outcome and learning from the experience.
