Spiritual Awakening: Dionne Warwick Reminds Us Of What Friends Are For!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Dionne Warwick Reminds Us Of What Friends Are For!!!

 This is a wonderful reminder of what our friends are for. Friends are those people who regardles of the situation will come through for you. In today’s social media world we count our facebook friends but how many of them can you call upon in a time of need and have them respond in a positive manner to you. How many twitter followers when hearing of your endeavors with take action to support your causes. How many of those people on linkedin will take the time to call just to say hey I was thinking about you. The idea is that when you have that spiritual awakening you begin to realize that as a friend who recognizes others divinity you stand by them in their times of joy and in their times of sorrow becaue that is what friends are for.

Spiritual Awakening: Forgiveness Is The Theme Of The Day

Spiritual Awakening: Forgiveness Is The Theme Of The Day!!!

 As I read the daily affirmation and prayer in Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses’ book Heal Your Life speaking about forgiveness I began to verbalize forgiving myself and those that I felt had done wrong to me. I then went into my car and turned on Reach FM and the song Foregiveness came on the radio and I realized then that forgiveness was going to be the theme of the day.

As I sat in quiet contemplation I made a shift to relax and let things flow and just allow. I found it very liberating to start to come from a place of forgiveness and realize that the best thing one can do is not to take things personally and if some one wrongs you do not react just walk away unless your life is in danger. I have found that the best thing to do is to breathe and in your mind forgive the person and then pray for them and let it go for holding onto to the incident does not serve you.  It is when we truly take action to forgive that we will erase blockages and create the path to help us strive.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Inspiration

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Inspiration

 T This blog entry was inspired by Antiqua Libbey, who I had the privilege to interview on my radio show, Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, which airs on Monday from 7-8 PM EST at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio. She shared her story of triumph over many adversities and gave many great tips. The one that resonated withme was that we all have divinity within us and when we connect with it we become inspired and empowered to live our life on purpose.

    

As we discussed the idea of divinity and making the mind, body, soul connection I kept thinking I need to really focus on me and take a day to create harmony on the inside and out thus I took today to do laundry, meditate, and then when I felt a harmonious feeling come over me go to my club house to write. I sat quietly for a few minutes visualizing what I was going to write and visualizing people coming to the blog and leaving comments and then I began to write. As I wrote the pains I was feeling and the negative vibrations quickly went away and the message became clear your purpose is to be a shining light to others and as a result of shining your light you will be rewarded.

Spiritual Awakening:Putting The Right Energy Into Your Day!!!

Spriritual Awakening:Putting The Right Energy Into Your Day

  Today’sblog entry was inspired by my work with The  American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of West Boca Raton as I started my day with introspection and realized I was bringing the wrong energy focus to my fundraising efforts. I wa smaking it about me being recognized as a STAR Supporter, someone who raises at least $1500, instead of looking at it from the stand point of helping people. I put expectations out there that everyone should donate and that everyone I speak to can afford to donate $1. This expectation may be true however through introspection I realized that Some Will, Some Won’t, Some Waiting, So What, Next?  As a result I shifted my energy and attitude and decided I am a man of faith, service, and value and GOD will direct me to the people who will give he will put a few challenging people in front of me as well so as to help me with my journey to not take things personally and not to be so agreesive and not to be defensive if my intergrity comes into question for it has nothing to do with me but everything to do with the person I am approaching.  I have come to the conclusion that when you put the right energy into your day that good things will happen and when you have the proper intention behind what you are doing you will shift and attract more positive energy than negative. There will alsways be people that are negative or that seem to have an attitude problem and they are just not ready for the lesson of kindness or of being of service and value. They will wake up and realize that part of their struggle is part of the vibrational energy they are giving off and one day they will begin to put the righ energy forward into their day.

     Through the introspection process I began to realize that the negative energy that I was attracting was because I was being negative and showing my frustration because people weren’t doing what I expected them to do or what I wanted them to do. I then realized I can not force people to donate, I can not demand people to advertise in www.labonitakidz.com, I can not force anyone touse my services, all I can do is put positive energy out there, be of service and value, and let people see what I am doing to help other people excel and allow them to choose to follow me and use my services or donate to my cause.

Spiritual Awakening: Neale Donald Walsh Inspires Positive Shift

Spiritual Awakening: Neale Donald Walsh Inspires Positive Shift!!!!

     Every day I get a missive from Neale Donald Walsh titled On This Day GOD Wants You To Know and each day I take a moment to read and digest the message. Today’s message …that if you  become ruffled with every comment that you consider a ‘slight,’ you will never find peace, really hit home as I have been taking people’s lack of interest in www.labonitakidz.com and http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman personally so I took a deep breathe and made a commitment to myslef to start to shif things and realize that not everyone is going to resonate with what I am doing and that it is okay and that those that will support the efforts will appear. As I began to shift and focus on the more positive experiences I and realize that not every not interested or negative comment is a bad thing that it is actually a good thing as it gives me a chance to move on and keep moving in the positive direction of my dreams.  I then began to look at how am I presenting myself and my ideas to others and how are my vibrations. As I beagn to reflect and realize that each tie I interact with someone it is a chance to share and that if they are meant to buy and ad or make a donation or use my services then they will and if they are not then the person that is will appear.  It is when you leave it up to GOD and take action on his answers that you find the most success.

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: 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.

The gunman, who is dead, was reportedly the son of a teacher at the school read the first line of a news story today. Then all the comments came in across the social media with the ususal questions what makes someone especially a son do this,  how could GOD allow this to happen, what can we do to help, and what is the lesson in this?

We may never know why a son would shhot and kill his Mom. As many of you who read this blog regularly know I recently lost my mom on July 5, 2012 as she was called home by GOD after she suffered a massive heart attack and a day doesn’t go by that I wish I had one more hour just to share. I did manage to find a bit of irony in the photo as The Dunkin Donuts cup says joy and finding joy in the face of this tragedy will be the toughest thing for the community to face.
