Spiritual Awakening: It All Begins With Gratitude

Spiritual Awakening: It All Begins With Gratitude

   About a year and a half ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Cat Wagman about her book Why Thank You. She shared tremendous insight that night on Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, heard at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio on monday from 7-8 PM EST. The nugget that I took away from the show that night was that success starts with gratitude.

   The idea that it all starts with gratitude was reinforced when Josh Hinds author of Live Big appeared on my show and we discussed one of his chapters of the book that was dedicated to gratitude.

Spiritual Awakening: Martin Luther King Jr. Remembered

      

 

Spiritual Awakening: Martin Luther King Jr. Remembered

I was 2 1/2 years old when GOD called Martin Luther King Jr. home thus my knowledge of him comes from the watching of his speeches and what they taught us in school about him.  In a very spirtual sense he was an action taker who understood his clling and his purpose. Through his passion and action he created many opportunities for those who otherwise would not have had a voice and who may never have been given the opportunity to excel. His dream that people should be judged on the content of the character instead of on the color of their skin is a work in progress as there are still many that have not awakened spiritually to understand that we are all divine children of GOD.

  Today (1/21/13) we marked a milestone in history by remembering Martin Luther King Jr. while also swearing in President Barack Obama for a second term. The second bible that Barack Obama used to take his oath belonged to Martin Luther King Jr.  As The inauguration ended President Obama and his family along with Joe Biden and his family stopped by The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Statue to honor the fallen civil rights leader.

Spiritual Awakening: Where Is The Strangest Place You Received A Message?

Spiritual Awakening: Where Is The Strangest Place You Received A Message?

 

 I have received messages in many forms and in many places, however this morning I received a message from the strangest place of all my toilet in my bathroom. There I was I had just finished my business and went to flush and the chain leading from the handle to the flapper had broken. At first I looked up to heaven and asked GOD why? I then figure out how to get the toilet to flush, called Total( My service repair provider), and then the answer came to me, the message was to break the chains that are holding me back and to take the day for much needed introspection. As I mentioned in an earlier entry signs are all around us and it is importnat to seek the meanings of the messages contained in the signs.  This prompted me to aske everyone where is the Strangest Place You Received A Message?

  The messages we receive from GOD come in all sahpes, sizes, and in many strange places, however it is when we begin to understand the messages that we are receiveing that we begin to create a flow and the vibration necessary to connect with GOD and create the life we desire.  It is said that which you focus on expands. Think about what you are focusing on and how things are happening and then look for the messages that may be coming to you in many cases in what you would consider a little strange.

Spiritual Awakening: Maya Angelou Inspires With Amazement Awaits!!!

 

 Maya Angelou delivers a powerful message in her poem “Amazement Awaits” reminding us that when we reach down inside ourselves we find out how truly amazing  we are. We have a power to be amazing and to shine our light and collaborate with others so as to make amazing things happen and create a ripple effect that creates a positive impact in all that we do, By becoming an action taker we can create an awakening of mass proportion that will positively change the world. It is when we find our true calling that amazement occurs.  We begin to come alive and share our vision for the world to see and our community is  a better place because of our actions when we embrace the fact that amazement awaits.

Spiritual Awakening: Jim Croce Reminds Us Of Our Uniqueness!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Jim Croce Reminds Us Of Our Uniqueness!!!

 

 In his song I Got A Name, Jim Croce, reminds us of our uniqueness and our responsibility to share our talents with the world.  I recently found out that my name Jonathan means sent from GOD and that my Hebrew Name Yussel Simcha means John The Blessing. I reflected and decided that it was time to embrace this calling and to take action by having an awakening that I have the ability to change the world and improve the human condition by simply embracing my uniqueness. I ask you what makes you unique, how do you stand out what tallents do you have that you are not sharing? What is stopping you from coming alive and making your community a better place? What dreams have you put on hold because someone was discouraging instead of encouraging?

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning!!!

As I sat and thought about what to write about today all the messages pointed to the idea of beginnings. As I listened to the song by Chicago, Beginnings I began to realize that each day gives us a new beginning and that each day we have 24 hours to make a positive impact on our life and on the lives of others. I then began to ask the question what is it that you have been meaning to begin but haven’t due to excuses or the fear of what others may say or think about it?  I then began to ask what is it that is holding you back? Then I found this quote by Lao Tzu,

 and immediately thought it is time to take that first step and watch things unfold. What might be holding you back from taking that first step is it fear? I found this video and I hope it inspires you to put your fear aside and to step into your greatness and to shine your light as it is only the beginning:

Is your new beginning being stymied by the idea that you lack funds to put it into action. I found the following affirmation video about money and I hope it assists you in creating your new beginning.

Spiritual Awakening: 2013 Rose Parade Holds Messages Of Spiritual Awakening!!!

Spiritual Awakening: 2013 Rose Parade Holds Messages of Spiritual Awakening!!!

 

 From the opening segment when Hanah Storm and Josh Elliot welcomed the international tv audience to The Rose Parade to the final presentation by Coco Jones you could feel the warmth and the spiritual energy of the parade. Each float contained a story of hope and inspiration, especially the Canines With Courage Float which stoped along the route to allow a solider coming home from Afganistan to walk the routs to be reunited with his wfe and child. This scene brought tears to me as I began to realize one of the spiritrual messages and that is the mesage of love and hope to all. I witnessed many examples of spirituality during the parade such as the partnership between a  high school band from San Jose and China showing us that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. I witnessed the float dedicated to The National Organ Donor Foundation and remembered that my license reflects that I am an organ donor. The commentators framed the message that reflects balance as they explained that the float represents tears of sorrow and tears of joy. This shows us the pricinciple that there is a circle of life and when one life is called home another comes to the earthly plain.

Spiritual Awakening: Full Throttle Saloon Teaches Valuable Lesson

         

Spiritual Awakening: Full Throttle Saloon Teaches Valuable Lesson

Most people wouldn’t think that a TV Program based on a business that promotes drinking and scantily clad women during Bike Week in Sturgis, South Dakota would hold a lesson of spirituality. On 12/26/12 I was at home flipping the channels and tuned in to Full Throttle and the show had a message as one of the story lines was of a customer who Michael Balard, the owner of Full Throttle, made feel welcomed. The story was that the man passed away and his daughter was flown in by Michael as she had news that Michael was in her dad’s will.Michael is informed that he was left $1,000,000. As I watched I begin to thin wow what a lesson of spirituality as it shows that being kind and grateful pays off.

        

As Full Throttle ended I sat for a moment and began to think of how simple acts of kindness and gratitude go far in developing our spirituality. It may not bring us a million dollars like it did to Michael Ballard, however it will bring us the riches we seek as we become more and more spiritually awake. It is when you find ways to be a shining light of hope sharing kindness and gratitude that you are rewarded. Please share how you are being kind and what you are grateful for under comments.

Spiritual Awakening: Not An Ending But A New Beginning!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Not An Ending But A New Beginning!!!

December 21, 2012 is where The Mayan Calendar ended and many people marked this as a sign the world was ending.  The reality is that the world was not ending it was taking creating a new beginning as more and more people were becoming action takers and awakening to their true calling. REM’s song featured above tells us of the world ending as we know it as changes are coming and messages are being sent to all of us. It is up to us how we react to the messages of a new beginning.   What messages have you been receiving that you may not have acted upon as you may have been fearful of this new beginning. In many cases what we perceive to be an end is yet a new beginning that will be filled with excitement, wonderment, and opportunities.It may be scary at first as we may not see all the anwswers and all the possibilities, however all will be revealed in due time as everything is in divine order just the way it was meant to be. There will be pain and suffering as the messages are delivered and it is up to us to find the message and reactaccordingly to it. We can look at the negativity or we can choose to look for the positivity as we create a new beginning.

     

Spiritual Awakening: Declaring Your New Beginning

Today say I delare a new beginning where I will cherish my self and love myself so that I can be of service and value to others and watch what begins to appear in your life and how more positive things begin to appear.

Spiritual Awakening: Beatles Deliver Message Of Hope!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Beatles Deliver Message of Hope!!!

 As I watched the gloom and doom of the news this past weekend I turned  inward and began to think that as bad as the media is portraying certain events things are actually getting better. I visited www.happyherald.com to find positive upbeat news and excellent advice columns. As I read the positive stories it reaffirmed my idea that things are getting better. I then began to watch Minute With Maxwell videos done by John Maxwell and as I watched these videos I realized that it is up to ne as an individual to enhance my personal and professional life to make things better.  I then began to read about action takers like Leslie Bruce and Karen Binnette Goldberg Raport of Feel The Hugs and their mission through www.feelthehugs.com. Then the phone rang and it was Shanta Tanksley from www.labonitakidz.com sharing good news about the magazine. Then I went back into Starbucks and I witnessed a random act of senseless kindness when a gentleman in line bought the women in front of him a coffee. The ideea is that things are getting better.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Use The Beatles Message To Sow Your Good!!!

 Across ouir universe we are all divinely connected and when we recognize each others divineness we being to sow our good and make things better. There are many ways to make things better:

1:     Rick Figley and Stacy Sossner taught me this amazing pricincipal and I thought using it to greet people or say goodbye to people would be a great thing as it resets many situations and allows for people to move forward in a positive direction. I recommend that as you go through the day to share this greeting or salutations and then recognize how the environment around you changes.
