Spiritual Awakening: Photographs And Memories!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Photographs And Memories!

As I was going through photographs I began to reflect and realized that a spiritual awakening can be evoked simply by the memories that a photograph represents. Here I am am in The Philippines as A U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. This photo brings back memories of joy of knowing that I was being of service and value to others. At first I was a bit timid but I took a deep breath and knew I would be okay as the owner of the Caribou was very close. Yes those are rice fields that you see in the background and yes I did help to harvest the rice. The process of harvesting the rice taught me patience and brought me a sense of accomplishment as I would help to bag the rice and sell it at the dry market. It was at the dry market that I realized just how important it is to be centered, focused, and grounded.

Here I am receiving The Munford Johnson Community Service Award from The SAKE Committee of The City Of Lauderhill. In my acceptance speech I spoke about holding fast to your dreams. I remember afterwards one of the commissioners coming up to me and telling me how I was a good orator. This award was earned because I took action and committed to helping other people excel by showing that passion + action = success. Success is measured in many ways some measure it in materialistic accomplishments others measure it in lives touched. Being part of The SAKE Awards that night showed me the importance of coming from a spiritual base.

Is is when we go through old photographs that we are able to reflect and pause for a moment to be grateful for the memories that were created. As we continue along our spiritual path we will have many opportunities to create special moments in time and to relish in shining moments that will permit us to move forward in a positive direction of our goals.

      When we experience shining moments in our life they are imbedded in the cortex of our brain allowing us to pull them from our memory bank to fuel us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. The shining moments we create will impact us and others.
       It is when we commit to manifesting moments is time that we open up the spiritual passages necessary changes in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives so as to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. It is when we rise above everyone’s expectations that we thrive and grow. As we look at moments in time we can use the memories to improve our world one community at a time. In the end all the trials and tribulations can be overcome simply by tapping into your inner divinity and creating special moments in time.

This young girl is a cancer survivor and I had the honor to be the announcer for STRIKEOUT CANCER Day where she through out the first pitch. This photograph serves as a reminder to continue to move forward in my quest to help those touched by cancer. It also serve to remind me to use my talents for good to create positive memories that resonate with others as I continue on my spiritual path. The memories we create will be etched upon our heart to allow us to be heart centered in all we do so that we can show others that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe we can achieve. It is in creating positive memories that we can shift the paradigms in our life and create bliss and abundance for ourselves and others.

Here I am announcing a Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Game. When I look at this photo I am able to reminisce about some of the positive things I was able to do while connected with the team. I am no longer affiliated with The Miami Fury however I have some great memories and some excellent experiences that I will utilize to enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life. When I look at this photo I understand that announcing is one of my callings and that I right where GOD has intended me be.

Now is your time to create some memorable memories that will evoke happiness and allow you continue to live a purpose driven life.  It is your time to understand that this is the day the lord hath made and to rejoice and be glad in it as you make memories that will be impactful to you as you awaken spiritually. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hold Your Head Up!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hold Your Head Up!!!

In the last month I have had to find ways to hold my head up due to the passing of my dad on June 7, 2018. Today was one of those days when I had to rely on my spiritual teachings to hold my head up as I went to the bank where DAD had one of his accounts and because I was not a signer on the account I could not close out the account. My DAD died without a will so everything has to go through the courts and there is no guarantee that the little money that was in the account will be coming to me. I have learned over the years to simply hold your head up and let go and let GOD. As I take action to get things in order after the passing of my DAD I am finding myself relying on my spiritual teachings to deal with all the situations as they arise. I share this with you today (7/3/2018) so as to encourage you if your parents are still living that you have a talk and get everything in writing as to their wishes on any monetary situations so that you will have peace of mind when the time comes to take action when they are called home to GOD.

July 5, 2018 will mark 6 years that my MOM is gone from this earth and I have been searching for ways to find hope and healing.  I am always amazed that when I hold my head up the universe delivers the message needed to move forward on my spiritual journey. Today (7/3/2018) I found this rendition of Things Will Get Easier and I believe that things will get easier as my angels in heaven will watch over me and guide me so that I can enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life.

Spiritual Awakening: Timing Is Everything!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Timing Is Everything!!!

In becoming an action taker I have come to learn that timing is everything especially when you are evolving personally, professionally, and spiritually. As I have become more aware and awake I have come to understand that everything happens on GOD’S Time not your time. I have come to realize that patience is an important component to the spiritual awakening process. In cherishing moments and focusing on positive moments we as spiritual beings having a human experience are able to tap into our inner divinity that allows us to move forward along on our path toward spiritual enlightenment. In understanding that we a divine children of GOD and that GOD’S timing is impeccable we are able to experience some extraordinary events in our lives. In taking action and then allowing things to unfold as GOD has planned we are able to attract the peace, love, joy, ad prosperity into our lives as we desire. In awakening and knowing that timing s everything we are able to manifest a better life for ourselves which in turn allows us to be of service and value to others.
As 2017 is coming to an end and we turn the page toward 2018 we have the opportunity to make a new beginning by improving our timing by becoming more connected to GOD. Sometimes it is just a matter of starting over and understanding that timing is everything. As you wind down 2017 you may want to write down everything that you perceived to not go your way and then put it in a fire safe bowl and burn it thus giving up and committing to making a new beginning. Then you may desire to clean out that bowl and then put all the positive things you want to achieve in the new year and then burn that offering the burnt offering up to GOD and then daily taking action to manifest what you desire. It is in letting go of that which no longer serves you open up the channels to receive that which will serve you. One of the great things to do as you wind down 2017 is to go through your personal things and make  three piles 1 of which you will keep, one of which you will give to charity, and one that you will trash. In taking time to remove that which no longer serves you you will find that you are clearing the blockages that are holding you back from becoming the person that GOD want you to become.

Spiritual Awakening: Taking A Step Back!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Taking A Step Back!!!

As we continue on our spiritual journey and become more and more aware and awake we must remember that we must step back and detach from the situation at hand. Today (4/25/2017) I was tested as I was out collecting for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and had an encounter that taught me a very important lesson. That lesson is that not everyone is going to be open to receive the message that you are delivering. I also used my spiritual teachings to take a step back and apologize to the person who seemed to be upset with me. In doing this I was able to diffuse any hard feelings that this person may be harboring. As I walked back to my car I did a gratitude prayer and realized that I should be focusing on those who gave and those who were supportive instead of one person who gave off a negative vibration. As I sat in quiet contemplation I understood that in being an action taker you will encounter all types of situations that will force you to dig deep inside and understand that you must take a step back sometimes and then move forward by being caring in all you do.
It is important to move right along despite any set backs and challenges. When these challenges occur while on our spiritual journey we need to take a step back take a deep breath and create a special place for those who have created the challenges and then let it go. It is in stepping back and taking responsibility that you are able to clear blockages that may be holding you back. On a daily basis it is important to take a step back and reflect on how far you have come so you can let the past go and let GOD as you move forward in a positive direction moving toward your dreams. As you move right along you will encounter those who do not resonate with you and will react in a negative manner to the point of even calling you names. When this happens remember that it is imperative not to take anything personally. It is important to take action so that you can step into your power and achieve the greatness that you are destined to achieve. Through the awakening process you will find that when you step back and take responsibility for the role you played in any situation you are able to release any of the blockages that are stopping you from moving forward.

Spiritual Awakening: Living The Good Life!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Living The Good Life!!!

 What defines the good life? As I have been awakening more and more spiritually I have come to realize that everyone has their own definition of the good life. My definition is to be in a position to be of service and value to others while living a life on purpose. I have learned that there are two great days in your life the day you are born and the day you find out why. Once you discover your why you will begin to live the good life as you will have the ability to put your passion into action and thus you will find your definition of success. I have found that being grateful for what I have and  not wanting for what I do not have leads to living the good life. Each morning I awake knowing that GOD has given me the opportunity to use my talents for good. With this knowledge I am able to become an action taker and positively impact my life and the lives of others. As I sat in reflection the other day I began to understand that I have had a good life so far and there is much living left to do. I look back on what I have been able to do over the years and realize that many people can say they have been able to do what I have done. As I look at the photographs and recall the memories I can say that despite some trials and tribulations I have had a good life so far.

As you look through your photographs what will you be able to say about your life. It is my hope that you can say that you have had a good life filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity. I have come to learn that it is not about the materialistic things you accumulate but it is about the lives that you enrich. For me it is not about the fancy car, the big house, or the designer clothes it is being able to say at the end of each day that I made a difference in someone’s life. I think the good life is defined by the following poem.

Spiritual Awakening: Hands Of Time!!!

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.

Spiritual Awakening: Make The Moment Last!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Make The Moment Last!!!

 

As I sat in reflection today  I had the following message delivered to me, Make The Moment Last. Throughout the spiritual awakening process I have learned one of the greatest actions one can take is to be focused on the moment at hand creating positive memories that will not only impact you but will impact others as well. I started to ask the question how do I capture the moment and hold it in a special place without it stopping me from moving forward in my spiritual development? The answer was easy put the magical moments in a special compartment in your heart that your mind can retrieve so that you can continue to grow in mind, body and spirit. As I sat in reflection this one moment of a trip to an Aviary in Tampa with a young lady who is now an angel in heaven, Pam Hamrick, kept replaying in my mind and I laughed and I cried. Pam and I stood on a bridge and watched the Bald Eagles that were being cared for at the aviary and we embraced in what seemed to be the longest hug in the history of the world. I laughed because that was a happy moment. I cried because of the sadness that Pam is no longer here in her human form but her spirit is always in my heart.  When things seem to be turning topsy turvy in my life I call on this memory and realize that everything is in divine order just the way GOD intended.

 Along our spiritual journey we will experience many magic moments it could be a kiss with someone special, a hug with a loved one or a friend, winning of an award, or just the joy of knowing you are creating a oneness consciousness. Whatever your moment is it is important to capture it and hold on to it so it can propel in a positive direction along your path. Many times during the spiritual awakening process there will be moments that serve us well because we let go of fear and stepped into our power and showed our authentic self and as a result we made a  spiritual connection that removed blockages and allowed us to move forward along the path that GOD has placed in front of us.

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: A Labor Of Love!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Labor Of Love!!!

... me what Labor Day, so what is it? And why do Americans celebrate itAs today marks Labor Day and many are celebrating with picnics and barbecues I began to think how great it would be to have every one reading this blog entry would do a labor of love and share their spiritual awakening and how since the awakening their life has changed. I encourage everyone to be an action taker and do a labor of love today. It can be anything from writing a check to The American Cancer Society and sending it to 9141 Sunrise Lakes Boulevard #102, Sunrise, FL 33322 to buying supplies for a local animal shelter to collecting pull tabs and giving them to Ronald McDonald House or simple helping the next person in line buy buying them an iced tea.  One of the anthems that I have adopted during my spiritual awakening process is the concept of being of service and value.In committing to be of service and value and doing things in a loving and caring manner I have found that my personal and professional life has improved.  In understanding that we are all called to do a labor of love we expand our own circle of love and thus we create a more loving, caring, and kinder world. In doing these labors of love we become the change we want to see in the world. We begin to come alive as we serve our community and interact with the people we come in contact with. In doing these labors of love we detach from the outcome and just let things play out thus becoming more spiritually awakened. It is the spiritual awakening process that we become more in tune with our divinity and thus are able to put positive energy into all of our labors of love and thus not only enhance our personal and professional lives but also to improve the lives of those we come in contact with.

Mary gave us a labor of love when she delivered Jesus into our world. Jesus would commit many labors of love the greatest of which was dying on the cross  to take away our sins and redeem us. In redemption Jesus gave us the responsibility of living a life of righteousness by doing labors of love.

Spiritual Awakening: Serving Warmly!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Serving Warmly!!!

As I sat at Starbucks this afternoon (7/30/14) I took a glance down toward the bag that contained my banana bread at there it was a sign of a spiritual awakening the words, WARMLY SERVED. I sat an pondered the idea of being connected to source and making a commitment to serve warmly without expectation of return. I watched The Baristas as they interacted with the customers and how each one showed a level of gratitude for the customer. Many knew the customers by name and greeted them very friendly and warmly. As a result much positive energy was released into the universe.  It was in witnessing positivity that I began to think how important it is to serve warmly.  Thus I ask you to reflect and  ask how am I serving warmly!!!

After you answer the question of how you are serving warmly it is important to make a decision to shine your light. In shining your light you will illuminate the love and greatness that you possess and thus you will give others permission to shine their light. As we all begin to serve warmly and shine our light the whole world becomes illuminated with a sense of hope.

 In the movie Monsters Inc. the slogan is we scare because we care as they were used the fear of the children that the monsters generated to create energy for the community. Then one day a young girl breached the barrier as she created more energy by laughing and as a result Sully and Mike Lebowski and Boo discovered that laughter was more powerful that fear and began to harness the laughter and thus the energy crisis was fixed and by serving warmly the entire energy changed.  Think of ways you can change fear from forget everything and run to face everything and rise. When you can laugh in the face of adversity you can meet and overcome the challenges that sometimes come into your life like the energy crisis in Monsters Inc. The question is how will you face down your monsters?
