How Free Do Ya Wanna Be? (Part 3)

Author: Johnny Dragon

Finally Part 3.  Please review Parts 1 and 2, or better yet, just be confused.

 

After my day has had the appropriate tone set, I have one job and one job only.  I ask myself one question and that question is, how can I be of service to others?  What can I do today that can be of help to humanity.  Don’t get me wrong, I still have to make a living, or else my wife might take issue with my focus, but even at work, I have to make myself available for service.  This is something I starting putting out to the Universe years ago, and now the calling becomes clearer each day. 

 

Sometimes it is as simple as helping someone broken down on the side of the road.  Sometimes it is holding the door open for someone who never receives that kind of kindness.  Sometimes it is answering the phone when you have no desire to do so.  Sometimes its being kind and loving to your wife and children because that’s what they deserve, and it is definitely what they will remember.  Sometimes it’s just deciding that meanness and hatred are unacceptable.  Most times it’s just the act of being in God’s Will.

 

Before I go to bed each night I do a thorough review of my day.  I ask myself a series of questions and I answer them honestly on paper.  How was I resentful today?  How was I selfish today? How was I dishonest today? What did I keep secret today? How was I unloving and unkind today?  Was I thinking of myself or others today?  Did I make Gods will my focus today?  I list the people I helped and the tasks I got accomplished.  I then write out in order all of the things that I am grateful for, with God at the top of the list, and my employment at the bottom.  I then go to God in prayer and thank Him for showing me all the things that block me from Him, others, and myself.  I ask for them to be removed and for God to give me the strength to make them right.  I thank God for showing me His will daily.  Guess what? I sleep like a baby without the aid of anything else to do it.  I am able to face me.

 

God gives me awareness, and he gives me consciousness.  He allows me to be in a position of neutrality and He makes me present to the now.  He accepts me by His Grace exactly like I am.  This is how free I want to be.

 

Amazing miracles have happened in my life, and there is no other explanation but through God.  Thank you all for your support. jd@reverendjohnnydragon.com.
