Spiritual Awakening: Clearing The Hurdles Of Life!!!
As you experience a spiritual awakening you will find that their are many hurdles that you will be challenged to clear to manifest the results you desire. In some cases you will find that not everyone will support you and some will go to extremes to try to defeat you. When you begin to take action and live a life filled with passion and purpose you will encounter many people who will not agree with you or your methodology. Such was the case this week when someone who professes to be a professional wrote me a hateful and wrote a response filled with anger. I called to see what I could do to rectify the situation and was called an asshole, an idiot, told no one gives a shit about what I have to say, and to go f-myself. I told the gentleman that I am sorry he feels this way and and that I will happily remove him from my contact list. I started to think why do people act this way and then I realized that it is GOD’S way to send a message and teach a lesson. In this case GOD was telling me to find another way to solicit donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Boca Raton and to find people who resonate with my message. In taking action and reaching out to everyone I must remember that is is not my job to bring people kicking and screaming on to the path but to shine my light bright for them to see by being of service and value so that when they are ready to change and create a life that is enhanced personally, professionally, and spiritually that I am there to be a shining beacon of light to help illuminate the world.
The man did create a hurdle as my LinkedIn account has been restricted. As I write this entry the restriction is under appeal. As I took a moment to breathe an meditate on the situation I realized how important it is to remember that some will, some won’t, so what, some waiting, next because for every negative person that I encounter I find 8-9 that are open to assist with my endeavors. All my life I have been given hurdles and each time I have cleared them understanding that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. In getting back to Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements and implementing them I have been able to move forward and exceed my goals.
By going deep inside and then applying these agreements I have been able to secure a part time job that frees me up to do volunteer work, to obtain guests for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT, and to continue to be of service and value to others. Theses 4 agreements have helped me to be centered, grounded, and focused as I move forward in a positive direction of my dreams.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Overcome Life’s Hurdles!!!
I have found that songs like this are a great tool to help you overcome life’s hurdles. It is knowing that GOD loves you and that you are a divine child of GOD that will serve as your best tool to overcome life’s hurdle’s.
In standing or sitting in meditation or prayer after a spiritual awakening many seek to make a fresh start. I am asked many times JDOGG how do I make a fresh start? The first thing I state is that to change you must be open to receive and embrace the changes. In being open to receive you are showing the universe that you are truly ready to make a new start. After you commit to being ready to receive the next step is to look at the person you wish to be and how this fits into you being authentic. You must be honest with yourself and accept that all positives and negatives in your life have been caused by you and the way you chose to deal with them. When you become an action taker and are truly committed to taking the steps necessary to make yourself better you will see positive changes. You will see that you are attracting different people into your life because you embrace the opportunity to start fresh. Many of our behaviors have been learned over time and it will take some time to eliminate those that do not serve us in a positive light. In many cases we may seek to change our circle of influence, if we are hanging with people who have a lack mentality than we must move away from them toward those who have an abundance mentality. If we find out we are the smartest person in the room we need to change rooms. In awakening to who we are and finding our purpose we can change what we have done in the past and make the changes to find success in the moment.
Think of your life in the terms of a tree. A seed is planted and the seed is nurtured and it grows strong, however in the Fall and Winter the tree transitions and goes dormant and then in the Spring and Summer it awakens and sprouts leaves and provides joy to many. In Ecclesiastes it is taught that to every season there is a purpose under heaven. It is in nurturing the seeds inside of us that we grow like a tree and find our purpose. Eventually the tree may be cut down and used in a different way. When we are eventually cut down our message lives on in the lives of those we have touched. Ask yourself ho do I want to be remembered and begin to work toward leaving that legacy.
For many starting fresh means making a connection with source, creating a relationship with nature, and being loving in all they do. I have found many times that when you are willing to turn the page and forgive yourself and others and be loving in all you do that you begin to see things differently and thus you move forward in a positive direction of your goals and dreams.
Spiritual Awakening: Miami Heat Teaches Lesson During Winning Streak!!!!
As I watched the Miami Heat seek their 24th win in a row on Wednesday March 20, 2013 I began to doubt the team as they went down by 27 points with just over 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Heat was coming off a close comeback victory against The Boston Celtics and now were in a huge hole against The Cleveland Cavaliers. As I continued to doubt I began to realize that there was a lesson about to be learned if The Heat should pull this game out. Guess what The Heat pulled it off and won 98-95 to notch their 24th straight victory, the second best winning streak in NBA history. The Heat reinforced the adage that when you find yourself in a hole stop digging and starting finding a way out. They started climbing out of the hole when Shane Battier hit back to back 3 point shots and they continued to get stops and they cut the deficit to 9 going into the 4th quarter. The doubt began to subside as The Heat had been in this position many times before and won. The Heat would show us that having faith and removing doubt leads to a victory. Now the question is how do we continue to remove doubt on our path of spiritual awakening?
Spiritual Awakening: Applying The Lesson From The Miami Heat!!!
The Heat showed up to remove doubt and to move forward and allow things to flow and everything will be okay. The idea is to now apply this lesson. The next time you find yourself doubting yourself or others remember you are a divine child of GOD with the ability to take action and win in your personal and professional life. The next time you have fear or doubt enter the thought process sit back and breathe and remind yourself that you are capable beyond measure. Your spiritual awakening will unfold and move you in a positive direction when you remove the fear and doubt and allow life to unfold as it may and as GOD has intended. As the Heat mounted their comeback you could sense that there was a strong belief that they were going to win. Others may have been doubting but they knew in their hearts that they could overcome the 27 point deficit and continue on their winning streak. They made a dramatic change and started to hit their outside shots. They also went back to their greatest strength their tough defense. Their tenacity led them to overcome the doubters and to win. The Heat showed us that what the mind can conceive the heart can believe and you can achieve. The Heat will go for win #25 when they host the Detroit Pistons on Friday 3/22/13. What lessons will this game hold?
Spiritual Awakening: Meaning Of Life Found In Grocery Store!
There I was shopping in my local Publix and I stopped for a moment and I was reading the side of The Arizona Tea Can that I had decided to purchase and I found it the meaning of life as it said RECYCLE. I stopped for a moment and took a deep breath to contemplate this message. Then it hit me the concept of recycling goes far beyond just making something new out of something used it goes to the heart of looking at way you can be a recycler and pay it forward and thus improve the quality of life for someone else and in return be rewarded.
One thing we must all realize is that we will face challenges in our life. Some of these challenges will be easy to overcome while others will take a bit longer to overcome. The fact is that we have the power inside of us to meet these challenges and move forward with our mission.
It’s when you run away that you’re most liable to stumble.”
Screenwriter and Producer, Casey Robinson
I saw this quote and immediately thought that it is time to face any challenges that may be facing you and to have a plan of action to move through and overcome them. There are many examples of those who have faced challenges and have gone onto do great things that have inspired and empowered others.
