Spiritual Awakening: Become The Difference Maker!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Become The Difference Maker!!!

 

In the spiritual awakening process it is important to become an action taker with the intent of making a positive difference in your life and in the lives of others. As you walk your spiritual path there will be challenges as what  you are compelled to do do as directed by GOD may not resonate with others and what they want to do. Recently I had a situation where I thought something was left to me and another person thought it was left to them. In thinking the item was left to me I had plans to get the item appraised and then find a buyer the other person who thought it was left to them didn’t want to part with the item.  My plan was sell the item and donate 20% to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and then split the remainder with the other person. In wanting to avoid conflict I simply gave up what I perceived as ownership of said item and realized that it wasn’t meant for me to have and that other opportunities would present itself and allow me to be a difference maker. In letting go and letting GOD and  accepting that which I wasn’t going to change I cleared some blockages and found other ways to support The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and myself. I realized that I could still be a difference maker without the item. It was in detaching from the what might of been or could of been that I was able to let go and move forward understanding that GOD had other plans for me to be a difference maker.

It is when you commit to being a difference maker by making compassion and kindness a regular part of your day that you will become more and more spiritually aware and awake. As you set about each day with the intention of spreading peace, love, joy, and prosperity everywhere you go you will find it easier to become a difference maker. I am reminded of what mother Teressa once said “If you can not do great things do small things with great love so make a commitment to be loving and caring in all you do and become a difference maker.

Spiritual Awakening: When A Loss Is Actually A Win!!!

Spiritual Awakening: When A Loss Is Actually A Win!!!

For those of you who follow me on Facebook or have liked my fan page or joined one of my groups you know that I was nominated for a John C. Maxwell Leadership Award. I was honored to be nominated for this prestigious honor in the community service category. When I was notified that I made the top 100 I was elated as my message of service to humanity being the best work of life was being heard. I did not make it to the top 30 which had me thinking is this a loss  or a win  and I concluded it was a bit of both as i didn’t make the top 30 which can be viewed as a loss but I did gain tremendous insight into areas of my life that need to be improved so this was a win. As I reflected and meditated on the entire experience I realized that in the spiritual awakening process what we may perceive as a set back can actually be a spring board for personal and spiritual development. I have come to learn that there are times in our life when what we perceive as losing is actually winning because setback allow us to have step ups.  Sometimes it is as simple as looking at what did I learn from the process? In the case of The John Maxwell Leadership Awards I learned that making a positive impact is important and putting yourself out there in an authentic manner by walking in your truth can be a very cathartic experience. I learned that as long as you are shining your light others will see that and recognize that so you do not have to brag because there are many people who will recognize your greatness. I also learned that when you are following your calling and tapping into your divine guidance system that everything will work out and you win in the end.

Through out the spiritual awakening process you will face many challenges. Many of these challenges will seem like losses when in reality they are lessons to move you forward along your path that will lead you to prosperity and greatness. I remember when I was competing with The Jaycees in The John H. Armbruster Competition which is a resume writing and interview skills competition based on the community service work done with The Jaycees and I didn’t make the call backs the first time out but I went home and practiced and started to do more and more work with my Jaycees Chapter and the next time out I made the finals (callbacks) and I finished #2 and at the end of the year I finished #2 again and missed out on a trip to The U.S. Jaycees  National Competition. I could have quit and said okay #2 is good enough but I didn’t as I had a goal to represent The Florida Jaycees on a National Level.  I worked very hard and began to tap into my divine guidance system and in 1995 I made it to The U.S. Jaycees National Armbruster Competition. Not only did I make it to the competition I was named one of The Top 5 Jaycees in America. This is another example of when a loss can actually be a win. I learned to persevere and continue to go after a goal so as to grow professionally, personally, and spiritually. Many times on our journey there will be times when we perceive to have lost but in reality we won because we never gave up and we moved forward in a positive direction of our dreams. Many times a loss gives us the motivation to continue to chase our dreams and thus we create a win.

Spiritual Awakening: Looking Back And Moving Forward!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Looking Back And Moving Forward!!!

 In the spiritual awakening process one must take a look back in order to move forward.  I always suggest that at the end of the year you do a year in review and reflect on all the good that has happened while also seeing how you  have learned from the perceived bad that has happened.  I recommend that when you look back over the year you remember that the rear view mirror is a lot smaller than the windshield.  As you look back, recall all the great things that occurred in your life remember the feeling that you experience and hold that emotion so that when things get a  bit tough as they sometimes will that you can recall that great feeling and remember how that achievement came to pass or how that happiness was achieved and thus take action to move forward and create more greatness in your life.  In the last 10 years I have always made the Month on December a month of reflection where I hold on to the great things that happened and let go of the challenging things.

One the first things I do to reflect is I put on some soft soothing music get out the note book and begin to write this year I was grateful for……….. This years theses things or events brought happiness to my life…….  This year I faced and overcame these challenges…. In doing this exercise I have  found that I have evolved in my spirituality and as a result have been able to lay a solid foundation to begin the new year in a positive way. As we put 2014 in the rear view mirror  and focus on looking at 2015 we have the opportunity to evaluate that which is serving us and improve upon on it and to eliminate that which no longer serves us.  For those that read this blog you know I collect teddy bears as I was going through some items in my car I cam across a State Farm Teddy Bear and realized that I had no real purpose for keeping it so when the chance came to give it away to a mother with a baby I did and I can tell you it felt great to be able to have a positive reflection and create a positive vibration of kindness. As you look back so that you can move forward look at the small gestures that made a positive impact on your life and the lives of others. That $5 donation made at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 may seem small to you but for someone being helped by The American Cancer Society it is very big. The spare change given with love to a Salvation Army Bell Ringer may seem small to you but to the man or women who gets a meal at The Salvation Army Shelter is is huge. Remember it is doing the small things with great love that create the ability to move forward.  As you look back cherish the good things and  remove the bad things.

Spiritual Awakening: Going Forward!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Going Forward!!!

 As I was out collecting donations and promoting The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton I ran across many great people with excellent energy, however there were a few who had bad energy. I fed off the good energy. I decided to move forward when I encountered the negative energy. A few encounters stuck out as a few people stated that they were broke. When I heard this I took it as a teaching moment and explained that they should never state I am broke but should state not at this time as my finances improve I will be able to donate.  I told them that GOD and The Universal Powers want them to prosper. I used Ken Esrig’s Dollar Bill Sandwich and explained that money flows to them and from them and they are a conduit for money. They asked what religion I was I said I am a spiritualist who walks with Jesus(one of the ascended masters). They thanked me. It felt good to be able to share my light with others.  The positive encounters far outweighed the negative encounters. The lesson I learned is that the enemy will put up roadblocks and challenges but if you embrace your inner divinity and walk with  GOD you will end up going forward. We all have the power to move forward and combat any negativity that may enter our day. One of my spiritual teachers, Lourdes Mota, taught me to just breathe and embrace my I AM and let the negative go. I have learned what we focus on expands so if we focus on being loving and caring in all we do we expand the love that we will receive. Our vibration and the energy we bring to a task will often determine the outcome of that task. Look at what you are emanating and how it is helping you to go forward and keep using that positive energy and look at what is holding you back and eliminate that behavior.
In the spiritual awakening process and making the commitment to go forward I have come to understand that life is a highway and how we ride it determines our destination. We can focus on what lies behind us or what lies before us that decision is up to us. If we are determined to go forward we must commit to removing the blockages of what lies behind us as focus our attention on what is in front of us. This is the reason our windshield is much larger than our rear view mirror. If we make what is perceived to be a mistake it is up to us to look for the learning lesson and then use this lesson to go forward.

Spiritual Awakening: Turning The Page!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Turning The Page!!!

 At sundown tonight (9/4/13) those of The Jewish Faith will usher in the New Year hoping to be inscribed in the book of life. It  is believed that in the next ten day leading up to Yom Kippur ( The Day Of Atonement) God will decide who will live and who will die, who will prosper, and who will struggle.  In many celebrations to questions will be asked have you lived your life in joy and has your life brought joy to others.  In is in this time of reflection that we are able to turn the page and discover a time for renewal and rebirth. It is in the next ten days that you can put into motion things you have been meaning to take action upon but have not yet?  This is the time to become an action taker and embrace your spiritual awakening. Each year at this time I begin to look at where I am and where I want to be and then I begin to further answer my calling. In answering my calling and embracing the messages that GOD is sending I am able to make the changes necessary to become more spiritually aware and create the life that I would like to have. In recognizing the fact that GOD holds the power as my co-creator  and he wants me to come alive I am able to put in motion the actions necessary to manifest and share my greatness.

 When we turn the page we leave behind any regrets we may have had. I am reminded why the windshield of my car is much larger than the rear view mirror. It is because GOD intends you to look forward and not backward. GOD wants you to prosper as you help your community by shining your light. GOD wants your dreams to come true. GOD will put many situations in place that will evoke many emotions and feelings. He will ask you over the next 10 days to evaluate what is serving you and what is not serving you. In turning the page you will become stronger as you evolve mentally and physically while making the mind, body, soul connection.  There comes a time to move forward and to eliminate all that is not serving you in a positive way. How many times do you hold on only to realize that if you would have broken away you would be further along? I have heard from so many people the phrase if only I———–, to which I reply now you can. Commit to turning the page and see what is going to happen. Today you have a clean slate to write upon and set in motion the circumstances that will propel you to the greatness that is your birthright.

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Down And Enjoy The Moment

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Down And Enjoy The Moment

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by this Simon and Garfunkel song Feeling Groovy as I began to realize how important it is to slow down and enjoy the moment. It is very importnat to be an action taker and to move forward in a positive direction with all that you, however you also must realize that there comes a time to slow down and relish the moment. Imagine finding out that you were selected to be part of a book, you write your chapter and then you wonder what is next instead of taking it in and writing in your gratitude journal that today I am grateful for the opportunity to share with others to help them excel. Many times we get so caught up in the what is next that we forget what we have done.

 It is when we are relaxed and that we take time to reflect the moments that we achieved greatness that we truly can move forward. What moments of greatness have you not had a time to celebrate as you kept wondering what is next.  The idea is take time to celebrate and cherish the moment before you move on the the next thing.
