Spiritual Awakening: Reaching Out and Impacting Lives

Spiritual Awakening: Reaching Out and Impacting Lives

When I think of celebrities making an impact I think of Bono from U2. I then start to think we can all be like Bono in our own right be it sharing our knowledge with others  or simply sharing a smile or a kind word.

 Bono of U2 delivers a message of hope in the song Beautiful Day. It is when we wake up that we have a choice to make it a beautiful day despite the weather and any trials and tribulations that we may have. By making a conscious decision to reach out and positively impact the lives of others we are positively impacting our own lives.  Bob Burg speakes about being a go-giver is his book  The Go Giver and his book Go Givers Sell More.

    These two books can be great toolsto help you make a positive impact in the lives of others while improving your personal and professional life.

M.J. Ryan’s Book, The Giving Heart has many stories that will inspire you to be a giver and to help you see the value of helping others.

 I encourage you to share your stories about giving and how it has impacted your life. It is when we open up and help others that we see leaps in our personal and professional lives.

Spiritual Awakening: How Do You Feel?

Spiritual Awakening: How Do You Feel?

 

 In the late 1970’s Peter Frampton wrote this song and asked the question of Do You Feel Like I Do? Many times throughout the course of the day I am asked how do you feel? I often answer sacrasically with the answer with my hands. This usually gets  a quick chuckle.   I then continue and say well it all depends on what the subject is? For example today I feel like we live in a crazy mixed up world as I read about the shooting in Colorado and then I read about the way people in the community of Delray Beach, FL and the surrounding areas are coming together

Spiritual Awakening: The Circle Of Life

Spiritual Awakening: The Circle Of Life

As I listened to the song Circle of Life from the movie, The Lion King, I was reminded about some of the occurances over the last several weeks, which have reminded me to cherish each moment and to enhance people’s lives by simply being a positive force for them to turn to. The last 4 weeks have been a true awakening with the passing of Kathy Dedek, my mother, and  the mudslide that took Dr. Lynn Migdal’s home in British Columbia along with her ex-husband passing as a result, her two daughters are still missing and we hold out hope that they will be found alive.

As I sat and questioned GOD the answer came as it is the circle of life.  As I began to meditate on this I began to realize that we come into this world as dust and we leave this earth as dust. The circle of life is an easy concept to grasp however the questions many as we live our lives as spiritual beings having a human experience. Many times it just takes a moment of introspection to understand  how we are all intertwined in the universe and that the circle of life does not end in the passing of  someone it continues for them in the spiritual world, where they can be of service to those left behind.  The signs that I have seen in the last 10 days since my mother’s passing have shown me that she is okay and doing things from the other side. Her legacy of sharing and caring liveson in my deeds an each day I find a way to hold a sacred space for her in my mind and my heart. She may not be with me physicallly, however the signs that I have encountered truly show me that she is looking out for me.

Spiritual Awakening: Shine Your Light

 Today’s blog entry is inspired by Janet Lee Kraft who shares a message of love and hope through her music and ministry.

Spiritual Awakening: Shine Your Light

Inside of each of us is a bright light to be shared with the world so as to show others our greatness and to exhibit grace for others to follow. I often ask people the question How Bright Is Your Light?  I ask this question to delve deep into the fact that they have a gift and a talent to give to the world so as to enhance the lives of others while enhancing their own personal and professional light.  Many people have a light that is waiting to be turned on and shared and all they need is a bit of encouragement from those arround them.

Neil Diamond delivers a message to turn on your heart light and to let it shine for everyone to see.  It is your time to shine and let the world see just how great you are.  You have the power inside of you to be a shining light to those you come in contact with. How Bright Is Your Light? is a question to answer by seeing the impact you are making on the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming Challenges

Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming Challenges

One  thing we must all realize is that we will face challenges in our life. Some of these challenges will be easy to overcome while others will take a bit longer to overcome. The fact is that we have the power inside of us to meet these challenges and move forward with our mission.

It’s when you run away that you’re most liable to stumble.”
Screenwriter and Producer, Casey Robinson

I saw this quote and immediately thought that it is time to face any challenges that may be facing you and to have a plan of action to move through and overcome them. There are many examples of those who have faced challenges and have gone onto do great things that have inspired and empowered others.

 

It is when the sea is rough that you make your best decisions to navigate through the rough seas to find calmness and peace. One way to do this is to quiet the mind through meditation.

There is a website www.freemeditations.com that can assist you in implementing the practice of meditation that can help you to face your challenges.

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Dedicated to?

Judith Miller Today’s Blog is dedicated to my mother, Judith Miller who was dedicated to helping me grow personally and professionally. Mom passed on July 5, 2012 due to a heart attack. Since her diagnosis of Non-Operable Metastatic Lung Cancer in March of 2009 she fought and she was winning until that final breath on July 5.  As many people know I was very close to my mom and am grateful to have had her love and dedication. I wrote and dedicated the following poem to her:

A Special Mom

By Jonathan Steven Lederman

My mom was a special mom,

full of advice, warmth, and charm,

My mom went the extra mile,

never complaining and always a smile,

she carried herself with style,

My mom was always there,

showing me her love and her care,

Words can’t say enough,

about my tough and loving mom,

She is a special mom.

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Dedicated To?

My mom was an inspiration and dedicated to touching lives. She has asked that Memorial Donations be made to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton in support of my involvement with Relay For Life by visiting http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1 to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

As I left the funeral and spent time with my family and friends I thought What are you dedicated to? This question is often the catalyst of beginning  a spiritual journey. I often answer I am dedicated to growing personally and professionall and passing my knowledge on to others so that the world can become a better place one person at a time.

 Mother Teressa was a dedicated women whose mission to change the world one person at a time has left an indelible imprint on the social and spiritual landscape of the world. So when you strya from your path ask yourself what am I dedicated to? Then get back on the path and help to make a differecne in the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Wait Do It Now!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Wait Do It Now!!!

The following quote is often attributed to Goethe and delivers a great message.  “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

  Life gives us amazing twists and turns along the way. Our path may be altered by the circumstances, however it is when we begin and take action that great things begin to happen. Today I had a great talk with Coach Shantel Springer about the power of beginning and creating value in your services. After I hung up the phone I started to think what are you waiting for you have an idea that has been int he planning stages for awhile allow it to take flight and begin the process. It is by taking action that you begin to step into your greatness.  It is not a matter of when you begin it is that you begin.

Spiritual Awakening: Removing Emotional Baggage

This is Destiny’s Child with a remake of The BeeGees Song Emotions in which the lyrics gives us insight into the baggage that we hold onto  in many cases that hold us back.

Spiritual Awaening: Removing Emotional Baggage

Before we begin to remove emotional baggage we must first define what emotional baggage is.

Emotional baggage can be defined as ‘Painful memories, mistrust and hurt carried around from past sexual or emotional rejection’.[1]

It is an image of ‘a big sack that you carry around with you at all times…[with] every disappointment, trauma, and wrong that you’ve ever experienced….This image, the metaphor of emotional baggage, has penetrated our culture’.[2]

What emotional baggage are you carrying? Well it is now time to unpack and only keep the things in you bag that will serve you and help you become a better person personally and professionally.

 It is time gto throw that suitcase away and release the emotional baggage that may be holding you back.  We all have had pain for some it is physical, some mental, and for some both. The events of our life that we couldn’t control can no longer be allowed to control us. What ever the painful memory is it is time to find a way to let it go for when you let it go and release your emotional baggage you can move forward. Many times we hold onto to things emotionally and we find ourselves in a rut because we have associated all these negative emotions with the situation. It is time to become an action taker and do something to remove the emotional baggage. It can be as easy as adopting a new song to help you get over the situation and remove the emotional baggage. A song like this,

Spiritual Awakening: Using The Pause Button

Spiritual Awakening: Using The Pause Button

 

This post was inspired by a session I did with someone who kept piling on one issue after another and it became like a massive cd recording so I stated let’s use our pause button and slow down and get to the issues one at a time.  As I began to use waht I call Using The Pause Button I began to realize that most of us all just need to pause from time to time and breathe and thus change how we are dealing with issues. The issues can be resolved when we pause and begin to remove the emotional charges associated with them.

 When we choose to use the pause button we often find what The Big Issue is. Many times it is our own conflict of how we think things should be and how they are. The key is to pause and understand there is a big difference between these and that is when we pause and find tools that can help us overcome the issue. For example you are working for someone and after a few days they send the human resource person over to the site to let you know that in their eyes you aren’t meeting their expectations and they are letting you go.  You get angry and don’t understand, however on your drive home you pause and seek guidance from source/GOD and you realize that this happened as he had bigger plans for you. You then look inside and find that there is a pattern of self sabatoge that you desire to change and you begin to take action steps to change and you soon see better outcomes.

Spiritual Awakening: Here Is Your Change?

 Today’s blog post was inspired by David Bowie’s Song Changes in which he realizes that a person can change over time but that person can not change time.

Spiritual Awakening: Here Is Your Change?

As I was making calls for a client today (6/27/12) I began to hear all the exceuses and many of the lack words that I have been avoiding and catching myself when I find myself using them. On one occassion I decided to tell the person you want change here is your change as I could tell that the thing holding them back was their thought process. I wasn’t argumentive I stated if they wer truly serious about making a change then the way they communicated needed to change. The person said thing like I am above average to which I said let’s try having you say I am great at what I do and people pay me top dollar for my services. I have found when you make this small change you and truly believe this that you begin to attract the clients and obtain the bookings that you have been seeking. It is when you change your verbage that you can truly change the outcome to the one you desired.

 Brett Hart of the WWE used to have his catch phrase, I am the best there is, the best that was, and the best there ever will be. One of the first changes one can make to improve their circumstances is to adopt this philosophy for it is when you believe that you are the best at what you do and you carry yourself as such that others will do the same.  The change starts to come when you start to believe and you make changes to fit this new belief.
