I started to think since my spiritual awakening how many times I have pressed on despite the trials and tribulations that have been presented in my life. I have been asked several times JDOGG how do you keep moving forward? My answer, I become an action taker and I press on. I have come to realize during the spiritual awakening process that there are some that will, some that won&#8217;t so I say so what as there are some waiting and move on to the next person. I have discovered that I will not resonate or have a vibrational mix with everyone and that not everyone will share my passion and enthusiasm for life. The key is to be committed to pressing on and moving in a positive direction of your goals and dreams. I have discovered that as long as I shine my light and give glory to GOD that I will be able to press on and find success.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WB_KWmRVR7g\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\u00a0In pressing on I have adopted this as an anthem to remind me to continue on my quest toward spiritual enlightenment. I have begun to ask myself everyone morning how I can be of service and value to others? I have made it a point to press on by being committed to make a difference in the lives of others and thus enhance my personal and professional life.\u00a0 In pressing on and never giving up I have been able to experience a myriad of successes. In taking action and getting involved in the community I have seen changes being made because of people coming alive and committing to press on and stay positive. In pressing on I have had dreams come true like announcing a championship football game or emceeing a large community event.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b8VoUYtx0kw\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\u00a0I was reflecting during the spiritual awakening process as I was working through releasing what a sixth grade teacher had told me 37 years ago that I wouldn&#8217;t amount to much. I shred the story how I overcame the diagnosis of a specific learning disability and the\u00a0negatives associated with that diagnosis. I got my payback in 1988 when I was assigned to substitute teach at my old middle school. There I was in the teacher&#8217;s lounge when that teacher came in an I stood up and introduced myself and told her that I substituting teaching there and asked so how are you liking me know.\u00a0 This story reminds me that no one can hold you back but yourself and how important it is to overcome and press on.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2minXF6G5z4\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\u00a0It is up to you as you make the decision to press on and make the mind, body, soul connection.
