Spiritual Awakening: Be A Champion!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Be A Champion!!!

      Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to realize that if you are to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually you need to have a champion mind set that focuses on coming from a place of abundance as opposed to coming from a place of lack. To be a champion you must believe in yourself and make a championship connection with GOD so when challenges are put in front of you you can face everything and rise. Now is your time to be a champion.

     The first step to being a champion is committing to putting in the hard work and to believe that you can win in all you do. In your quest to be a champion there will be some set backs and many times those setbacks will serve as lessons to move you in a positive direction of your goals. This past week I attempted to raise funds through JERSEYS OF HOPE however no one bid on the jerseys. I was a bit disappointed and thought what would a champion do and the answer was simple a champion would find a way to keep going and have success. I was beating myself up thinking I had failed when in reality I had won because I stepped up to do something and I still have the jerseys to use in my fundraising efforts to help those touched by cancer. I was at a point when I wanted to give up as I didn’t feel I was having the successes but after speaking with a few people and them telling me how I inspire them I sat in meditation and was able to get centered, focused, and balanced and thus erase that negative self talk and move forward and continue on my championship quest to be a positive influence on people. It was through a bit of adversity that I was able to meet a challenge and continue on my mission to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. One of the things I did was to look back on the memories and thus be refueled to be of service and value to others.

       As I began to look back on the memories I was reminded of all the wins I have had in my life despite some of the haters, doubters, and naysayers. All my wins held one thing in common determination to never give up. Today is a day to be a champion and to make new memories to answer the calling and to live a purpose driven life. You can be a champion by serving your community and detaching from outcomes and simply taking the set backs in stride and continue on your path to spiritual enlightenment. Over the years I have had a few challenges and some have knocked be down but I always manage to get up dust myself off and fly high because I know that it is time to be a champion.

      When we commit to training our mind, body, and soul to win we fly high and we get stronger and we move toward  the goal of being a champion. I remember my first championship it was a football through for accuracy win at the age of 12 at The local Maccabi Games in Fort Lauderdale. I was one the smallest kids in my age group and probably a long shot to win but I was happy to just be able to compete. I overcame my eye hand coordination problems on that day and I was the winner. I still have that trophy to remind me that what your mind can conceive and your heart can believe you can achieve. You can be a champion if you simply commit to taking action and using your talents for good. With hard work and dedication you can become a champion in all of your endeavors. Instead of comparing yourself to others simply put forth your best effort and everything will point you in the direction of being a champion. If you continue to believe in yourself and you take action to achieve your goals you will find yourself in your own hall of fame. IN all you do bring the best version of yourself and be a champion.

   As you become more and more aware and awake you will find yourself thinking globally and acting locally using your platform for the greater good and a result you will be a hall of famer and they will call you champion, Now is your time to shine and to attract more peace, love, joy, and abundance into your life and to become a champion today. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Grooving On A Sunday Afternoon!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Grooving On A Sunday Afternoon!!!

A

As I sat down at Starbucks to write this entry I took a quick look around and it was amazing to see all the people simply grooving on a Sunday Afternoon. There was a group playing Rummy O, a guy working on editing his photography, people reading, and others simply enjoying life.  As I absorbed all this great positive energy I began to think how important it is to be spiritually awake and in tube with your inner divinity so as to attract much peace, joy, love, and prosperity into your life. I began to realize that if you want to manifest happiness and abundance into your life you must exude happiness and come from a place of abundance. So many times we get caught up in the things we can not control that we forget to take charge of what we can control and thus we create blockages that get in the way of grooving not only on a Sunday afternoon but everyday. Now the question is how are we going to awaken spiritually and take control of our lives and let GOD be our guide. The answer is to first embrace the fact that you are a divine child of GOD destined for greatness. After that it is important to make a commitment to yourself to take care of yourself so that you can be of service and value to others. Then after you begin to be of service and value start to release that which no longer serves you. As you continue to follow your path guided by GOD  you will see that when you are connected to GOD you will see great things unfold so make it a priority to praise and honor GOD daily so that you can grove everyday and reach your higher calling.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Groove Everyday!!!

I have found that The Serenity Prayer, Positive Affirmations, and The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz  to be excellent tools in assuming an attitude that will allow me to be open to grooving daily.

I have learned that music can be a great way to get into the groove and to vibrate on a higher level that attracts people  to you so that you can manifest the life that you desire.

 

Over the years I have discovered that books such as these and others available by following the Hay House Link on this page are excellent tools to help you get into the groove.

Kindness is a trait that when put into action serves as great tool to groove daily.

 Giving praise and glory to GOD is a fantastic tool to help keep you centered, focused, and grounded so that you can groove everyday and live life to the fullest.

 

 Essential oils and incense are excellent tools to use while clearing your mind so as to groove daily.

Meditation has served as an exceptional tool in releasing that which may be stopping you from grooving daily.

Take a moment to walk in nature and create a sacred space where you can go to communicate with GOD, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels so as to receive the guidance that will allow you to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually as you continue to make the mind, body, and soul connection.

Find spiritual places like The Rice Terraces in the Philippines and take a trip without all the accouterments that we have grown accustom to and simply take in the messages as you get connected to source. Sometimes the greatest tool we have is our ability to detach and disconnect from the human life that we have come to know and get in touch with our divinity.

 

When I find it difficult to get into a groove or I find myself stuck I use the tool of reflection to remind me just how good my life has been and I remember times that brought great joy and a sense of accomplishment into my life like the 6 months from July 2002 – February 2003 when I was a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Buang La Union, Philippines. I look at the photo of the church and the arch and I realize how many lives I touched and how the people in this community changed my life and it gets me into a positive frame of mind knowing that I am capable of great things and if I can not do great things to do small things with great love. It is said that photographs and memories are great tools to help you get into the groove.

Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Unleash Your Inner Champion!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Unleash Your Inner Champion!

“Train your mind to work for you rather than against you.  The world teaches you to create from fear.  Don’t listen to it!  Master your mind and emotions and create from joy.  That’s the key to manifestation and lasting success.”
 We all have a champion inside of us waiting to be unleashed. So many times we think it is about being number 1 that we lose sight of the fact that we are already #1 in the eyes of GOD and that it is not about plaques, trophies, or paper certificates acknowledging our accomplishments but it is in the journey and knowing that you gave your best and in the end were of value and service to others.  You must believe you are the best and then taken action to show yourself that you are the best. When you reach down deep inside and connect with your inner divinity you are able to unleash your inner champion. I have learned that we are all champions in our own right and that we have talents to give to the world that will make a positive impact on the lives of those we come in connect with. I used to think it was about being #1 but then I realized that #1 comes as a by product from unleashing your inner champion. I have come to learn that if you think and act like a champion you will become a champion. There may not be a medal or trophy presentation  but there will be the memory of the journey you took to unleash your inner champion.

Many times in my life I have had the feeling of being on top of the world. The journey has not always been easy and there have been several obstacles to overcome but each time I faced a hurdle I adjusted my pace and leaped over it to become a stronger person.  So many times we look for acceptance and accolades from others when we should be accepting ourselves knowing we are divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to be on top of the world. I have come to learn that it is not about being on top but in simply doing something that will improve your community and leaving things better than you found them. I have also learned that what you do for yourself will die with you but what you do for others will be remembered long after you are gone. I have come to understand that when you unleash the champion within that you become a member of your own  hall of fame.

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Up Or Going Down?

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Up Or Going Down?

 In our spiritual awakening we often face the question of are we getting up or are we going down. As we continue to evolve and delve further and further into our divinity discovering our purpose we will run into those who see us getting up and they will want to bring us down. What do you you do when you encounter the naysayers or  the promulgators of negativity? I generally tell them thank you to bad, so sad, don’t let the door hit you where GOD split you. In taking action and deciding to move forward in a positive direction toward our goals and dreams we begin to find it easier and easier to detach from people, places, and things that no longer serve us. The anthem of staying positive allows me to continue to move up and at times when I feel like I am going down I say GOD if I get knocked down please allow me to land on my back for if I can look up I can get up. I have learned through out the spiritual awakening process that life will knock you down at times however I have been able to get up by remembering that of GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. As GOD brings you through things and leads you with the plans he has made for you one understands that the hall of fame is waiting for us.

In the spiritual awakening process one will begin to see that they are getting up and in getting up will become inducted into their own hall of fame. In my home I have my personal wall of fame where I am the first picture and then I have photos of those people who I draw inspiration from like Irene Cara, who I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing.

IRENE CARAThis photo is the one that hangs on my wall of fame reminding me that if you are getting up you are moving forward in the positive direction of your dreams. I have come to understand that one must answer the question are you getting up or going down?  In the spiritual journey I have encountered many people who are award winners and who have come alive thus inspiring others to shine their light and illuminate the world. We all have the opportunity to achieve FAME in our own right. This fame may come in the form of accolades for being of service and value to the community, recognition from our peers fro outstanding work, awards from organizations and leaders who we have contributed to the betterment of their personal and professional lives. It may come from the opportunity of simply being out in the community and sharing your message with others.

 As one awakens and gets in tune with their divinity and finding their purpose they do things that are positive and memorable that add value to those they come in contact with. The gifts you have to share are inside of you and need to be let out. In deciding to get up instead of going down you put in motion the mechanics necessary to make a mind, body, soul connection and to excel in your personal and professional life.

Spiritual Awakening: JDOGG’S Ways To Get Up!!!

 Sometimes I find myself just playing The Philippines National Anthem just to shift my mood as the memories of my U.S. Peace Corps Service helps me to get up.
The Rocky Theme has become a staple in y music library as a way to raise my vibrational level and get up.

Sometimes you just have to dance and let your inner child take over.

The best way to get up is to Stay Positive!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Scoring A TD In Life!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Scoring A TD In Life!!!

As I went into my local TD Bank to do my personal banking an opportunity to support The Special Olympics came about as the bank was selling candy to benefit The Special Olympics. As part of the spiritual awakening process supporting charitable causes plays a major role in expanding our own spirituality as the giving allows channels to be open to receive. As I left the bank I thought how each time you give it is like scoring a Touchdown for life. As I drove to my next destination, the local Starbucks, I thanked GOD for the opportunity to pay it forward and make a positive impact. I arrived at Starbucks and the table I usually use was occupied however the young lady at the table allowed me to share half the table and thus scored her own touchdown for life. As I sat down all I could think of was Touchdown Jesus. The original Touchdown Jesus is illustrated in the 1st two photos which are of Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame Stadium. The other picture is affectionately called Touchdown Jesus by parishioners of that church. The question now is how will you score a touchdown for life?

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Score A Touchdown For Life!!!

1: Get involved with a charitable cause or support a charitable cause.

The Word of Life Mural (“Touchdown Jesus” to you and me!) celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. In April it was lit with pink lights in support of those who’ve battled and are battling with cancer as the annual Relay for Life took place nearby in the Compton Family Ice Arena. Notre dame University scored a Touch Down For Life as they helped those affected by cancer and joined 1,000’s of others who participated in Relay For Life across the world. In getting involved with a charitable cause you score a touchdown for life while also expanding your spirituality and creating a oneness consciousness that allows you to be in alignment with your divinity.
