As I was in a great deal of pain today due to my diabetic nephropathy and other medical conditions I asked GOD to lift me and guide me as it has been a trying time in my life. GOD gave me the strength to go to The American Cancer Society Office to drop of money that I have raised for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I was going to go home and rest however GOD directed me to Starbucks to work on posting www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo and to send messages. In following GOD’S directions I was able to secure $60 in donations which gets me that much closer to making a mortgage payment. As I continued to share the link I realized that It is GOD who gives us the mighty wings to soar to the greatness that is our birthright. It is GOD who will bring us to challenges and it is GOD who will bring us through challenges. I have come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that GOD will not give us anything that we can not handle and he will put people in place who will lift us and who will help us to soar on Mighty Wings. I have come to learn that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me and that when you are connected to Christ you will be able to overcome all the challenges that you are facing in your life. Sometimes things may seem dark and it may seem as though our mighty wings are being clipped. It is at those times that you must turn back to the scriptures and become centered, focused, and balanced by taking action to continue your relationship with GOD. It is when we feel blocked that we must trust the process and press on for GOD’S Plan for us is far greater than the plan we have for ourselves. In awakening you gain the mighty wings that will allow you to soar to great heights in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you seek GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels you will find that you receive the answers to the questions that you are asking. In allowing GOD to give you mighty wings you will show your grace and see that grace wins.
As I left an interview with a staffing agency today (3/22/2019) I began to think how important it is to radiate and vibrate at a higher level of consciousness so as to tap into our inner divinity and create our best life. As I went out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I was reminded to vibrate at the highest level possible and detach from the outcome. As a result of being centered, balanced, and focused I was able to resonate with my message and had people donate and be kind. It may have helped that I was dressed in a suit and I looked like an executive which reinforced my belief that when you look good and feel good you can do good. It may have been that I felt a special connection with GOD today and GOD was allowing me to get higher. In staying connected to GOD and taking action you begin to function at a higher level of consciousness thus allowing you to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is said the better your attitude the higher your altitude. It is now time for you to soar higher than you have soared before by getting higher in your mind, body, soul connection. As you get higher it is important to feast on the fruits of spirit.
As I continue to evolve spiritually and become more and more aware and awake I understand that it takes all types of people to help you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Today (3/20/2019) I had to take care of some banking and as I walked into TD Bank I was greeted with a nice welcome and the lady behind me commented on how nice it is to have some pleasant people in the world. We began to talk and I told her about how I was seeking employment and she took my card. This set the tone for the rest of the day as I went out to promote The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. As I was out collecting donations and promoting Relay For Life I encountered some nice people and not so nice people. I fully understand that I am coming into someone’s office or place of business unannounced however it doesn’t take a big effort to be nice. I have come to realize that some people are not going to vibrate at a high level thus they won’t understand the laws of reciprocity and other teachings that can bring them to a higher level. Sometimes we miss out on opportunities to make a spiritual connection and to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives because we get so caught up in ourselves that we don’t take the time to listen to others and see how we can be of service and value to one another. So many times we put our defenses up and start to make excuses that we miss out on a chance to enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual life.
I have come to understand that when I walk into an office or place of business where I am not known that I will be treated in a strange way by some and a nice way by others for everyone will not resonate with me message. It is amazing to me how many people are quick to judge or throw up roadblocks and those same people then wonder why things are not as good as they can be for them. I have found that those who are open and come from a position of gratitude manifest peace, love, joy, and prosperity in their lives. I have come to learn that sometimes it is better to simply understand that it takes all types and that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. I have realized that sometimes in pushing your views it is like wrestling a pig in the mud as you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it so know that there comes a time to walk way and realize that trying to make your point is not going to serve you and is taking time from you to meet someone who will resonate with your message.
As I encounter those who are quick to judge and give off negative energy I simply hold a place for them knowing that one day they will be ready to get on the path and connect with inner divinity and understand that GOD Loves A Cheerful Giver. Through the spiritual awakening process I have seen that there are action takers and excuse makers. Which one will you be. In the last 9 months since my DAD passed I have seen the generosity of others and the stinginess of some. As a result I am grateful for those who have come forward to help. I currently have a campaign at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more. One donor wrote that she wished it could be more. I wrote back and thanked her for helping. In showing gratitude I am opening more doors to receive and to move forward in a positive direction of my dreams.
As I was looking for something to close out this entry this song was delivered to me by the universe. As I listened to the lyrics I began to grasp the idea that it takes all sorts to make our world a better place. It was when I reflected about the encounters I had today (3/20/19) that I realized that GOD puts some difficult people on your path to teach you the lessons that you need at the time. Namaste!!!
As I write this it has been 8 months since the passing of my DAD and I am struggling financially as I have not had steady work for nearly a year. I have worked some announcing gigs and have managed as I had a savings account but I have depleted that and now find myself at a crossroads. I have found my spiritually being tested and at times have wanted to quit but I knew I had to keep on moving as there are people who will help me by visiting www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 and making a love donation. I am trying many things to get into a better financial position however it seems as though just when things seem to be improving a set back occurs. This was the case on Sunday 3/10/2019 when I was on my way to an awards banquet and my car was run into by a pedestrian and when I asked if he wanted me to call EMS he ran away. My car now has a nice dent in it and I don’t have the money to fix it. I have had 3 months with virtually no income so I turned to GOD and asked for his guidance. I received the message to keep on moving and that people will be presented to help you. Ideally finding people to use my services as a PA Announcer, Emcee, and Voice Over Talent would be be great. I have been applying for many jobs as I have a very diverse skill set that GOD has given to me. I started to look back on all that has happened and I have realized that if I am to prosper I need to take action and continue to move forward in a positive direction toward my goals.
As tough as things seem as I deal with high blood pressure, hypertension, Type II Diabetes, a sports hernia, and the stress of not know where my next dollar will come from I take solace in knowing that GOD only gives you what GOD thinks you can handle. With all that is happening in my personal, professional, and spiritual life I am heeding the message from GOD to keep moving. I have come to understand that I need to get back to the pillars of spirituality and come from a position of gratitude. I need to become a man in motion and be driven by the messages from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels.
I have come to realize that I need to surround myself with action takers who will lift me up and help me in my time of need. I have come to understand that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. In asking for help by posting on social media I am hoping that people will see my pleas for help and write a check or money order payable to Jonathan Lederman and send it to 9141 Sunrise Lakes Boulevard #102, Sunrise, FL 33322. I thank all those who have already helped. It is time to lay it on the line and keep moving. I am grateful for those who have reached out and checked on me as I am having a tough time. I have begun to put myself out there and share my challenges in hopes that people will see me moving and going forward and be inspired and empowered to continue to move forward in their personal, professional, and spiritual life.
As I look back over the last 7 years and all I have faced I have come to understand that I must be focused and balanced so that I can move forward. It is scary to face the fact that you may loose everything but sometimes in loosing everything you gain more of what GOD has intended for you and your life becomes better because you kept on moving forward. I have tried things that I thought would be financially successful only to find that I need to change the way I approach projects and how I share with others if I am to move forward.
It is time to move forward and praise GOD by being grateful for what I have and not wanting what I don’t have. It is my hope that I will break the shackles that have been blocking me from being in a better financial position so that I can move forward while being of service and value to others. I share my story of challenge so that others will see that they are not alone and that there is help to allow you to move forward and create a better life for yourself. Namaste!!!
Get Outside The Box and Start Growing Personally, Professionally, and Spiritually.
I have attended many seminars where the presenters have talked about thinking outside the box and I though what if you had no box and simply did what your divine guidance system instructed you to do? When you are creative and you tap into your inner divinity you begin to make a connection to GOD that will propel you to the greatness which is your birthright. When you head the messages from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels you will be able to eliminate the box. In experiencing a spiritual awakening you will be guided to utilize your talents to be of service and value to others thus improving your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Yesterday (2/21/2019) I was the emcee at The Broward County Chamber Of Commerce Business Expo and as I was pulling the winners of the chance drawings from the vendors a vendor said the person that won hasn’t come to my table and I am leaving. I said you should call the winner and set up a time to meet to give them their prize this way you can see how you can be of service and value to each other. The vendor said oh that is a good idea. I left the table and thought wow many of the business people here need to eliminate the box and think greater picture.
Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Eliminate The Box!!!
In thinking creative and taking action on your idea will lead to success. It may take a while for others to fully wrap their head around it as they have been doing things a certain way for so long that they are not ready to eliminate the box. In October of 2018 I ran Strike Out Cancer Day with The Sunrise Sharks Travel Baseball Team and I thought how can I take this idea to the next level. About a week ago I sent a tweet to The Miami Marlins about making one of their games a Strike Out Cancer Day and I heard back from them. I spoke to a Miami Marlins representative today (2/22/2019) and gave him some ideas and he liked them and will present them to the decision makers and we will go from there. In being creative and sharing a concept you can achieve greater success and eliminate the box.
Reading a variety of books and implementing the teachings from these books will help you to eliminate the box. One of my favorite books is Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements. I have found by reading and rereading this book that I am better equipped to eliminate the box.
Music is a fantastic way to eliminate the box as it can set a mood for more creativity that will lead to more implementations of ideas thus allowing you to make a mind, body, soul connection that will show you that passion + action = success.
Block out the negativity that is creating blockages in your life and simply understand that when thing seem the darkest you are the verge of a breakthrough that will allow you to step into the light and eliminate the box that has been holding you back from fulfilling your full potential. I have come to understand that many things that we perceive as bad are going to occur but all we can do is eliminate the box and look for the lesson that is being given to us and the positives that are coming our way.
Spiritual Awakening: JDOGG’s Gift to Help You Eliminate The Box!!!
Today (2/22/2019) I give you this gift of meditation so that you can release that which no longer serves you so that you will be able to eliminate the box. Namaste!!!
In life when you experience a spiritual awakening you are given an opportunity to let go of the past and to start over. Sometimes it just takes a chance to begin a routine again to find your rhythm and create the positive energy to vibrate at a higher level so as to improve your personal, professional, and personal life. In many cases it is simply observing a situation and looking at the energy level and seeing if that vibration is positive or negative. Today (2/20/2019) I went to The Dunkin Donuts on Sunset Strip and Nob Hill Road in Sunrise, FL and from the time I sat down all I observed was the employees complaining and one employee nearly getting into a fight. I sat with my earbuds on focusing on writing this entry and creating my own sacred space so that I could give the reader a positive entry. I had started to write a different article but then I decided to start over and take the article in a different direction as spirit was guiding me to write about the importance of starting over.
It is when we realize that we can begin again from right where we are that we start to attract more peace, love, joy, and abundance into our lives. It is when we let go and let GOD that we can start over and remove that which no longer serves us so that we can be of better service and value to others. In starting over we come to understand that it is only the beginning of a spiritual journey that will take us to places that we never imagined.
I sat in reflection this morning (2/20/2019) and realized that I was dwelling so much on the past and worrying so much about the future that I wasn’t living in the moment. As I came to the realization that it was time to remember that today is the day the lord hath made and to be glad and rejoice in it I decided to simply start over and allow things to flow as GOD has intended. As I followed GOD directions and acted upon GOD’S Messages I found myself vibrating at a higher level and blocking out the negativity. I came to learn that I can control my actions and not the actions of others and that sometimes it is just necessary to step back take a deep breath and start over. In starting out each day with a clear set of intentions and removing that which no longer serves me I have been able to move forward and start over.
In starting over it is imperative to let go and Let GOD. In following GOD’S message you can start over and become stronger than what you were before. In taking things moment by moment you can make a divine connection that will allow you to start over at any time in any place where you may be. It is time to tap into your inner guidance system and let GOD guide you in your quest to start over. Namaste!!!
Live a Life On Purpose and Manifest What You Desire!!!
As you undergo your spiritual awakening you will have two questions that you will seek the answer to and they are what is your purpose and what is your why. Once you define your purpose and your why you will be able to stay focused, centered, and grounded which will enable you to manifest the life you desire. As you find your purpose you will want to write it down and create a mission statement for your life. An good example of a mission statement is it is my purpose to help other people excel by utilizing my talents to be of service and value to others. Once you discover your purpose and your why you will be better equipped to become an action taker. As you become an action taker and do things on purpose you will want to find an anthem for yourself that will guide you and direct you as to continue to tap into your divine guidance system helping you to make a mind, body, soul, connection. In doing things on purpose you will want to detach from outcomes and shift in to a position of coming from a position of love and gratitude allowing GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels to guide you in living a life of purpose.
Passion + Action = Success
Many people will be quick to judge what you are doing as they do not understand the higher purpose that you are following as you answer your calling and you evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have often told people there is a method to the madness as many have looked at the way I do things as being a bit unique and different as they don’t realize that I am doing things on purpose. Each day we have a purpose and each day we should take a moment to write down our purpose for when you know the purpose of what you are doing and why you are doing it you will find your life filled with more peace, love, joy, and prosperity. As you become more mindful of your purpose you will find that achieving bliss and abundance comes easier. Many times we get so caught up in what others would think or how we will be perceived that we lose sight of our purpose and thus we hit some speed bumps and create blockages from moving forward and living our life on purpose. I have come to understand that when you know your purpose and your why that you clear the blockages and you step into your power that allows you to achieve the greatness that is your birthright.
Each Day be Of Service And Value and You Will Achieve Greatness
In doing things on purpose and knowing your why you will find that the impact you make is increased. You may not see that impact first hand but know that people are watching you do things on purpose and they are being inspired and empowered by your actions. In living your life on purpose you will also find that you can easily have the serenity to change the things you can accept the things you can not and gain the wisdom to know the difference. When we block out the negativity and continue on the path that GOD has set out for us we will find ourselves coming alive and serving our community better by detaching from outcomes and removing the emotional ties that sometimes encumber us and stop us from living a life on purpose. There are many times when you will have to stop and ask are the actions I am taking now serving my purpose and moving me in a positive direction toward spiritual enlightenment. Many times we can so enamored with the materialistic things that we lose sight of the spiritualistic things that are important. In living life on purpose and using our spiritual gifts we are able to make positive changes in our life thus overcome all obstacles by knowing if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it. Sometimes things seem difficult but take solace in knowing that GOD will never give you more than you can handle and that he has a purpose for you. It is up to you to define that purpose and live a life on purpose.
In finding your purpose and living a life of purpose you will see which of these gifts you have been given. Once you see the gifts you have you will be able to better understand your purpose and thus use your talents for good.
Now is your time to shine and to live a life of purpose. It is time to have a clear vision of your purpose and to take action to follow that vision understanding that it may not always be easy but it will be worth it. NAMASTE!!!
In the face of darkness you must tear everything down and commit to make a new beginning. This may mean walking away from that which no longer serves you. In the last 8 months I have had to deal with some challenges and I am doing my best to start over. As the result of tapping into my spirituality I have decided to declutter and start over by removing that which no longer serves me and to focus on opportunities to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. In eliminating that which no longer serves us we can start all over and make a new day where we attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. In walking away from that which no longer serves and going where you are celebrated instead of just tolerated you will find yourself achieving more bliss and abundance in your life. In scaling down we create a new day with new opportunities.
each day gives us a new opportunity. It gives us a chance to be an action taker. I have come to learn that in life there are action takers and excuse makers. Which one are you? I have also come to understand that as hard as things may seem if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. You can not fix what happened yesterday as it has occurred but you can learn from it so you can live in the new day and plan for the future. There comes a time to remove the negativity and focus on the positive.
As you embark on your new day make time to peel back the onion and tap into your inner divinity and then take action on the message that you are receiving from GOD. In the new day eliminate your negative self talk and your limiting beliefs by understanding that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper. When you start your new day ask GOD to show you the way.
It is when we turn to GOD and go back to our spiritual teachings that we begin to become the light to show others the way and thus create a new day. Each day gives us a chance to focus on being of service and value to others thus bringing more positives into our life. Each day gives you a chance to be a lifter and to find your way. As you become more and more spiritually aware and awake you will begin to see that each day gives you a chance to grow and to to make a mind, body, soul connection.
As you embark on a new day make it a season of love by being guided by GOD, The Ascended Masters, Jesus, and The Angels. In making each day count it is imperative to stay connected and to take action to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. Namaste!!!
As I sat down to write this entry today(2/13/2019) I started to think how many times I have felt that I am out here on my own and how it is up to me to embrace the spiritual awakening process and to stand on my own. As I reflected on this I realized that I was not really on my own as I had many guides with me helping me to walk in my truth thus creating personal, professional, and spiritual growth. It was as I sat in reflection that I was reassured that if GOD brought you to it GOD was going to bring you though it. The message that I received today was to walk in your truth and when needed stand on your own knowing that GOD has your back. It was in that moment that I understood that sometime you will simply have to stand alone and stand in your truth. In standing alone and being guided by The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels you will see that though you feel alone you really are supported. Sometimes it is just a matter of realizing that you were born for the this and sometimes you have to go where you are not invited.
On Friday 2/8/2019 I went to The Tunes and Trucks Event in The City Of Sunrise, FL to collect donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I went uninvited and was standing alone as someone dedicated to helping those touched by cancer. I began to collect and then went to the stage to ask if I could make an announcement about what I was doing. The stage manager told me he would have to check. He did and a few moment later I was introduced and I made my announcement and The Mayor and the City Commissioners put money in the collection bucket. I then walked the crowd. Most people were receptive and $432 was collected to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. I turned in that money today and I know sit at $2476 raised to fund research, education, advocacy, and services. In my 21 years as a volunteer with The American Cancer Society I have come to understand that sometimes you simply have to stand alone walking in your truth so that those meant to join you in your quest will appear. I have come to realize that when you are being of service and value to others you will encounter doubters, haters, and naysayers. I have come to learn that when you encounter these people to simply walk away and stand alone knowing that you are doing what GOD has intended for you to do as you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Now is the time to be true to yourself and stand alone.
When you sit or stand in your sacred space remind yourself to be true to yourself. In being true to yourself you will experience a gamut of emotions and remind yourself it is okay to cry and to laugh as this will help to clear the blockages that may be stopping you from walking in your truth. Sometimes you simply have to put what others think out of the equation and to simply stand in your truth and find your purpose. Namaste!!!
As I sat down to write this entry today (2/6/2019) I took a deep breath and I asked The Ascended Masters what message I should deliver today and they answered to encourage the reader to gain clarity of purpose. This was very the perfect message for I have been having a challenging time lately as I have not had the results I had been hoping for on projects that I have poured my heart and soul into. I was doubting my spiritual connection then I remember that if I am to gain clarity I will need to get back to assuming and attitude of gratitude.
As I started to write in my gratitude journal I realized that I was wallowing in what wasn’t happening instead of being grateful so I decided to get back to planning the work and working the plan and making adjustments along the way and to show gratitude. It was at that moment when I began to get a clearer vision of my purpose. I started to realize that over the last 8 months since my DAD was called home to GOD I had focused on my hardships and been creating blockages from creating the life that I desire. As I was writing this blog entry I came across this 30 minute video and it reminded me that I need to get back to my spiritual base and tap into my inner divinity and stop making excuses and simply get clarity of purpose and start being more focused on the goals that I have set for myself and to remind myself that by being of service and value to others I will be lifted and served and my life will improve. It was a message to get back to basics and simply come from an attitude of gratitude. It is time to remember that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. It was time to remind myself to push harder and stop making excuses and stop blaming others. It was time to stay focused, grounded, and focused. Now is the time to get back on track and understand that every bump in the road is simply a reminder to slow down and put in the work. It is time to get clarity of purpose and to take action to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is time to remove what no longer serves you and to realize that your attitude determines your altitude. It is time to use your talents and monetize them so that you can create the life that you desire. It is time to stop the negative self talk. It is time to ignore the doubters, the haters, and the naysayeers and gain clarity of purpose and find your why so that you improve your personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is time to put a high value on yourself because you deserve to be valued.
I had been putting barriers in place due to some set backs and then I changed my thinking and gained clarity of purpose. It was when I embraced my purpose that I was able to push forward. I still have moments where I just want to stay in bed and forget about everything however I have come to realize that doing that only creates more blockages and stops me from growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. In finding my why and gaining clarity of purpose I have been able to get back on track.
I had found myself violating the 3rd agreement of Do Not Make Assumptions and as a result I was stopping myself from having clarity and success. When I began to stop judging I began to find myself stepping into my power and started to work toward the greatness that is my birthright. It was when I began to detach from outcomes that I was able to move forward in a positive direction of my dreams and gain clarity of purpose.
As we awaken spiritually and gain clarity of purpose we need to come through a few storms so that we can have the bright sunny shiny days. It is in the face of adversity that we rise and gain clarity of purpose. When we weather the storm and peel back the onion we begin to find the answers that we were seeking so that we can make a positive impact on our life and the lives of others. In looking back and eliminating the blockages we can move forward and create a clarity of purpose.
It is when we find our why that we are able to achieve the greatness that is our birthright. When we begin to eliminate that which no longer serves us and understand our own shortcomings we can take action to strengthen our personal, professional, and spiritual life. It was when I stopped playing the poor me card that I gained clarity of purpose and found success. I have also come to realize that I am the only one that can control me and that stuff is going to happen and that which I can change I will and that which I can not I will let go and in the long term I will gain the wisdom to know the difference. Sometimes to gain clarity you just need to detach from expectations and simply allow GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels guide you so that you become an action taker and stay your course be clear in your purpose.
If you are going to win in the end you must gain clarity of purpose and take action daily to move in a forward direction of your dreams. It is in knowing your purpose that you will be able to act on the messages that you are receiving and thus you will win in the end.
Now is your time to win in the end by gaining clarity of purpose!!! Namaste!!!
