Spiritual Awakening: Letting Your Greatness Shine!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Letting Your Greatness Shine!!!

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by The Gallaudet University Football Team. Gallaudet University is a university specifically for the deaf and hearing impaired. I first learned of Gallaudet a few years ago when my cousin who is hearing impaired came to visit and she shred with me that Gallaudet has a football program. I was fascinated by the way they sent in the signals. I was so intrigued that I started to follow the team. Today (12/23/13) for the 1st time in the football program’s history they are playing in The Division III Playoffs against Hobart University. These 54 players and coaches inspired me to let my greatness shine and I hope that this entry will encourage you to continue on the path of spiritual awakening and let your greatness shine. may the Gallaudet Bison continue to inspire others to shine bright.

 When I think of greatness I think of Muhamed Ali as he is known as The Greatest. Ali had a certain way of carrying himself that exuded confidence.  Ali also had a very spiritual side to him. he changed his given name of Cascius Clay to Muhamed Ali and he stood up for his beliefs. He was so strong in his conviction that he refused to serve his country in Vietnam.  Many people did not like this decision and it cost Ali many years as he was not allowed to box. he kept his faith and his boxing license was restored and he went on to win the Heavyweight Title on many occasions. Ali was a person who was awakened and enlightened spiritually.  He serves as an example to all to stand their ground and be divinely guided with your decisions. Despite having Parkinson’s Disease he continues to make appearances and inspire others to let their greatness shine.

  It was 50 years ago when  John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. I was not born yet, however I studied Kennedy in school and when applying to colleges in 1983 American University asked as one of  its essay questions, what day in history would you change and why. I chose 11/22/1963 because Kennedy was starting to bring our country together and helping people to have a spiritual awakening. Kennedy being the first Roman Catholic elected to the highest office in The United States Kennedy show many what having a strong faith can do for you. Kennedy also gave people permission to allow their greatness to shine bright as he encouraged people to look a t what they could do for their country. Kennedy also started The U.S. peace Corps in an effort to improve diplomatic relations with other countries. As a Returned U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer I can tell you that serving in The Philippines from July 2002 – February 2003 helped to develop a spiritual foundation that has allowed me to make positive changes in my life.  It is using Kennedy’s example and answering the question of how can I be of service and value that we are able to find our calling and come alive. In coming alive we give others permission to let their greatness shine.

Spiritual Awakening: Standing In Your Power!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Standing In Your Power!!!!

 As I sat down to write this entry at 5:30 PM today (10/21/13) I kept getting this message stand in your power. As I have been on my spiritual path of awakening that will lead to enlightenment I have learned that the power we need to succeed is found within us. It is our spirit, our vibration, our energy that affects the energy flow. It is our actions and reactions that determine how far along this path to self actualization that we get. There are guides and tools available to us but it is we who must commit to stand in our power and not waver on walking in our truth. As I searched for Standing In Your Power I came across the book that is highlighted here. Many times for us to stand in our power we need to connect with someone who is standing in there power. When you begin to surround yourself with those who are standing in their power you begin to stand in your power and your awakening strengthens and then you realize there is nothing outside of yourself that can hold you back for you have the power to create the life you want.  It is in the standing of your power and understanding you have a purpose and  saying I am a powerful, strong  person who has awakened spiritually and will make a positive impact on this world that you truly become that enlightened self actualized person that no one can stop.

 I have found that this bible verse has become a very powerful tool to help me and other to stand in our power. I have also found that when you stand in your power and shine your light you make a mind, body, soul connection that will propel you to new heights.  You have a divine power tat has been given to you that when you embrace it and stand in your power you will find  that you are positively impacting your life and the lives of those around you. Sometimes you will find that there will be doubters who do not understand that you are transforming. To them I say Thank you and have a nice day.  You have a calling and the day you discover that calling  and stand in your power is the day that your life changes.

Spiritual Awakening: Are You An Action Taker or Excuse Maker

Spiritual Awakening: Action Taker or Excuse Maker

 I have often spoken to groups about having a Winning Mentality vs. having a Losing Mentality. I have always asked are you an action taker or an excuse maker. I once made excuses why I couldn’t do things and shied away from doing them. I used to come from a position of lack and stop before I may have had success. Today I look at what I say and I realize that to be an action taker you must put the excuses asisde and find a way to make it happen. As I bgan to implement the concept of The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards I began to fall back onto the old ways and excuses and nearly cancelled the event twice, then I said the heck with it I am going for it and now on 3/24 The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards will happen. I went from I can’t afford that to I will find a way. I went from I am not a big enough name to I will build my name and this event. I went from you don’t have a team behind you to I will be a mighty team of one. I wen from your don’t have  finacial backing to I will find financial backing. After I made this shift I then took action and when you visit www.spiritualawakeningevent.com you can see how this first year event is taking shape. In the next two week I will be featuring action takers who didn’t make excuses but took action and today are leaders in their respective fields who I have the privilege to present a Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Award to. Many of the people getting this award could have given into the little voice in their head that said your not good enough, however they embraced thier vision and moved forward with their passion realizing that Passion + A

Spiritual Awakening:Surround Yourself With Greatness

How to Surround Yourself With Greatness

I am often asked by people, JDOGG how do you surround yourself with greatness. The secret is to get to know people and reach out to them and get to know of there successes and watch what they do. With the advent of social media it is easy to follow successful people who you admire and see what they are doing in their personal and professional life. Many times it is just the fact that you are provided opportuinities that you make. For example a few years ago The Fort Lauderdale Film Festival was celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Fame and the Newpsaper I was working with at the time, The Happy Herald was a sponsor of the event. As a result of the sponsorship I was invited to the screening, where Irene Cara would be appearing. I was ecstatic just to be in her presence then a big surprise occured the PR director of the event came to me and said”Irene can give you 15 minutes for an interview.” I went to my car and retrieved a pad and conducted my first ever celebrity interview. Asigned photo now hangs on my wall of fame of Irene Cara. This along with others I admire hang on that wall to help me surround myslef with greatness.

This photo hangs on my wall to remind me that I am destined for FAME.
