Spiritual Awakening: Passion It On!!!
As many of you are aware I am very passionate about helping those touched by cancer. Through the spiritual awakening process I have learned to take action to create fundraisers that will positively impact the lives of those touched by cancer. This journey began in 1998 when I was introduced to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. It was at my first relay that I met many great people who were cancer survivors and caregivers. Through the encounters with these amazing people I realized that I was not alone in facing the loss of loved ones due to cancer. As my journey continues today (10/22/2020) I realize just how important the equation Passion + Action = Success. It is when we are passionate and take action that we find success. One of the keys to passing you passion on is to come from a place that is heart centered remembering that what we do for ourselves dies with us but what we do for others lives long after we have left the human plane. Through the years I have come to understand that when you find your passion and tap into your inner divinity that you will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is when you discover your purpose that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when you embrace your passion and do things daily understanding what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe you can achieve.
Though 2020 has presented many trials and tribulations and I fell short of my fundraising goal I learned from the experiences and have now turned the page to my 2021 fundraising. I have launched http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 as the fundraising page and set up the two events that are posted at the beginning of this post. I have also set up a fundraiser with Scentsy. I have taken my passion and taken action and I am confident that I will find success. It is when you take action that the universe conspires to provide you with resources that will lead to your success.
It is when we decide to face everything and rise that we can follow our passion and step into our power to achieve the greatness that is our birthright. It is when we stop worrying what can go wrong and start looking for what can go right that we evolve and reach heights that once seemed unimaginable. It is when we understand just how powerful we are that we change our lives by taking action to move forward in a positive direction of our dreams. Now is your time to follow your passion and shut out the doubters, haters, and naysayers and simply follow your heart so that you can spread your wings and soar. Don’t let people tell you it can’t be done show them that it can be done and that you are doing it. Now is your time to shine your light and illuminate the world. It is your time to take your passion and act upon it by detaching from the outcome and learning from the experience.
It is when we follow our passion and dance on GOD’S great dance floor that we are able to attract more bliss and abundance into our life. It is when we follow the message of GOD and live our life passionately that we can make a positive impact on the world by being of service and value to others. Instead of making everything a debate and trying to be right it is important to do the right thing and focus on how you can improve the lives of others while improving your life. It is when you pass your passion on and put aside what others think that you are will experience and create an amazing life for yourself. Many times it is a simple as sitting in meditation and then acting on the messages that you receive.
One of the great resources that I found to help igniting my passion is The Passion Test book. In following the teachings of this book I have found that I can stay focused, centered, and grounded as I continue on a quest to make a positive difference in the world. I find myself turning back to this book when I find myself getting a bit off track or when I feel stuck. It is through the evaluation of our progress that we are able to live life passionately and with purpose thus allowing us to create some great memories that will serve as the fuel to propel us to great heights. Live your passion and pay it forward today. Stay Positive!!! Namaste!!!
Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to realize that whatever you bring to a situation is returned to you. This was very evident yesterday (11/8/2017) when I had a slight traffic mishap in the parking lot at my condo. I was upset because the lady I hit spoke no English and I told her we live in American learn English well this was overheard by the neighbors and they were upset. I took a deep breath and apologized and we worked everything out. As I went about my business of the day I realized that what ever you give you get back tenfold thus if you want peace you need to be peaceful. If you take action filled with love and gratitude you will receive love and gratitude in return.
In becoming a cheerful giver and being of service and value to others you will be rewarded. It is when you stay calm and keep giving without an expectation of return that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. If you stay calm and keep giving from a place that id filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity you will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. When you remain calm and take a step back to detach from the situation you will find that everything works out just the way GOD intended it to work out for you. GOD may put some challenges along your path to remind you of the importance of being humble and refraining from the emotions that create blockages and stop you from moving toward spiritual enlightenment. In every situation you face their is an opportunity for growth.
I was introduced to this book a few years ago and I had the pleasure to interview M.J. Ryan on my radio show, Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman. It was through these lessons that I learned the importance of keeping calm and giving. I learned that when you are authentic about your giving that you are rewarded. Sometimes it is a matter of simply giving of yourself that creates opportunities for personal, professional, and spiritual growth. The lessons learned over the last several days have allowed me to see that it is when I am focused, centered, and grounded with the intention of helping others that my life flows in a positive manner. I have learned that in tough situations it is important to stay calm and keep giving love and compassion to others. It is important to focus on the good that can come of all situations by remembering that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it.
