Spiritual Awakening: Leave a Message!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Leave A Message!!!

As I stood at the podium today to pay my respect’s to Barbara Theodoiou’s son Daniel, who I encountered only a few times over the last 8 years as he battled the heinous disease of addiction, I realized that the world lost a vibrant young man who loved life and showed us all to be compassionate and understanding when we encounter others. As I sat an listened to others speak about Daniel I thought what a message he left us all. He  may have had some very challenging issues but despite all he had been through he remained kind and caring. He may have done some outlandish things because of the stronghold drugs had on him. As Barbara read many of his poem I thought what poignant messages he had to deliver and how unfortunate a young life was lost. Often after a loss we ask GOD why? and we do our best to find a reason. Perhaps GOD has used Daniel for the purpose he had planned and reminding us that it is up to us to deliver messages that are filled with hope and healing so that we will make our world a better place one person at a time.  I was given the honor of being a Pallbearer and as we unloaded the coffin and placed it above the grave preparing it for it’s final rest I began to ask GOD what message he had. As I sat in my car waiting to leave the cemetery the answer came and it was to continue to share a message of positivity and to be of service and value to all those I come in contact with so as to continue to shine my light.

 I have learned through the spiritual awakening process to leave a message that makes people feel like they are appreciated. I have  gone as far as giving thank you notes to the baristas at Starbucks, the tellers at my bank, the cashier at Walmart, and those who donate to my effort to help those touched by cancer who visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and make a donation. Recently I took my message of showing gratitude to another level when I visited www.tofa.us and bought 5 tokens of appreciation to give out to random people who did somenthing nice for me. If our awakening allows us to come alive and answer our calling to be more compassionate and appreciative to the people who we meet along out path then we improve the lives of others by simple assuming an attitude of gratitude.

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Power?

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Power?

When I was a kid I remember watching Superfriends on Saturday Morning and thinking how powerful these characters are. As I got older I began to ask the question, what is your power?  Over the years of exploring I found my power to be the ability to bring people together for the benefit of others. In high school I was the one who captained our March of Dimes Walk Team, in college I was the one who organized the special events like The Homecoming Bon Fire, where we collected donations for a local children’s hospital. After college I joined The Jaycees and quickly  began chairing special events. Today I do volunteer work with The American Cancer Society through Relay for Life and have found my power in fundraising. For the last 9 years I have been a STAR Supporter of The Relays that i participated in, raising a minimum of $1500 each year. Finding your power can be done by:

1: Meditation

2: Doing a Personal Skill Set Inventory

3: Finding What Makes You Come Alive

4: Looking at What Brings You Joy

5: Studying and Reading

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
