Spiritual Awakening: The Joy of Positivity

Spiritual Awakening: The Joy of Positivity

I was asked JDOGG, how do you manage to stay so positive in the face of all that you have been through. The answer is that it takes more strength to frown than it does to smile and as bad as things seem there is always something positive to be found in it.  In is when we make a decision to do the best we can with the tools that we have and to follow the messages that we receive that we begin to find the joy of positivity. An example I use in my recent traffic ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign I am in the process of making arrangement to go to one of the ticket fix it places and I knwo everything will work out, the best case scenerio is I end up with no points and no school worse case I get points and pay the full fine, either way I rejoice because no one was hurt and I learned the lesson to be more aware and to slow down.  I am joyful that I still get to drive and that I I didn’t create an accident.

      

I have always maintained a positive attitude knowing that the power to find the joy of positivity lies within me. I cand be upset by things that happen and the people involved or I can choose to face it in a positive manner and smile and move forward in a positive direction of my goals. We all have the power to be action takers and adopt an anthem of positivity. We become award winners when we are awake to our calling by choosing to come alive and make the changes that are needed to build a community and follow our dreams. It is when we are aware of our emotions and the effect they have on the situation that we can come to grips with our feelings and find the people to fellowship with that will help to get us in the flow. It is when we begin to finish what we started and move forward that we experience the joy of positivity.

Spiritual Awakening: Angels Walk Amongst Us!!!

Spiritual Awakening:  Angels Walk Amongst Us!!!

 

 I look around and I see many heroes and angels that walk amongst us.They may not take the form that we visualize, however they are amongst us and working in a positive way for us. It is when we can see that everyone has sometype of angelic quality that we can relate better to everyone we meet and thus create positive interactions and shift to positive energy.  I have seen the angels in actions recently as they provided me with the opportunity to be a contributor to the book Sources of Wisdom Book 2, when I said yes without knowing where I would find the $115 and then I mentioned oit to someone and they wrote a check for $115 saying I believe in you. I am so grateful for this person and the angels that spoke through her.  I then began to realize that there are those watching over us and pointing us in the proper direction. I began to read the facebook posts by Doreen Virtue, Mariane Williamson, Guy Finley,Depak Chopra, Wayne Dyer,  Michael Bernard Beckwith,  and many others and I began to see the messages that were being delivered and each one seemed to be directed or related to me.

Spiritual Awakening: Hey I Am Worth It!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hey I Am Worth It!!!!

I decided to use Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs to illustrate that you deserve great things and that you are worth it. How many times have you offered a great service for what you believe to be a reasonable price and been asked why should I pay that? I always answer because I am worth it. Being a spiritual entrepreneur does not mean giving your talents away it means being of service and value and getting a reasonable exchange for your services and products. When you begin to tell yourself I am worth it you will begin to get paid what you value yourself at. I have learned in the last 2 years that if you do not put a high value on yourself and your talents noone else will. This was illustrated a few weeks ago when I was approached to do a voice over for a video and offered to do it for $100 and was told that they would find someone on fiverr, to which I replied go ahead, well guess what the video isn’t done and they are still searching for that inexpensive voice, when they could have had one of the best. The lesson I learned is stick to your guns as word will get out that you value yourself and you are worth it.

 Babe Ruth was someone who understood his value as illustrated by hisanswer when asked why he shoud be making more money than the president? His answer because I had a better year than he did.  Babe Ruth knew he was worth it.

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Wishing and Hoping For?

 Dusty Springfield expresses the ideas of hoping, praying, and dreaming. This song expresses the idea of caring for another. Many times it is about being an action taker.

Spiritual Awakening:What Are You Wishing and Hoping For?

Today I celebrate my 47th year on this earth and it is my first birthday without my mother, who passed on July 5, 2012. I have been asked today what I want and I have answered very simply for people to click on LOVE DONATIONS on this page and make a small donation to honor my mother’s memory as that would be the greatest gift that anyone could give me this year as I would be able to send the donations in memory of my mother to the two designated charities and say wow we had an awesome virtual ceebration where people who wished for a world with less cancer and more birthdays took action and made a positive impact on the lives of others.

 Rose Royce expresses the idea of wishing on a star. It is when you take your wish and take action steps that you begin to see it unfold in front of you and many times it will amaze you when you see where your wishes and hopes take you. In my life there have been people who have tried to squander my dreams, I have since used the next button and moved on understanding that there are those who are dreamweavers and those who are dream stealers.  Who are you surrounding yourself with?

Spiritual Awakening: Source Strikes Again

Spiritual Awakening: Source Strikes Again

 I have stated many time that by being an action taken and fololwing your anthem that you will have an awakening and see how source strikes again. This was evidenced this week as I attended a dinner at The Victory Christian Center in Boca Raton as part of The Celebrate Recovery Program. I was invited by my friend Dale, who I had seen in a while and it was time to catch up and share as we both had just experienced the passing of  someone close, for me it was my mother for her her brother. She had told me I was covered, meaning that my meal was free, however when I arrived I took $3 and put it into the donation basket. The evening ended and I didn’t even think about the $3 I donated until yesterday (7/26/12) as I was leaving a client and had just received my check for services rendered when her husband handed me $30. I started to remember the passages that speak about when you give it is returned ten fold. This is what inspired this post Source Strikes Again. I invite you to share your stories of how source is working and striking in a positive manner in your life.

 Spiritual Awakening: How To Connect With Source?

Many times we are destined for a calling that source has given us all the tools to pursue and bring to fruition, however we may not be connected or open to receive at that time  and as a result we put up road blocks instead of making the connection with source. Some may call it the God Connection, The Jesus Connection, The Source Connection, The Buddha Connection, or something else. The key is that you tap into this amazing power that is inside of you that the world is in desire of. The question now is How To Connect With Source? There are many ways.

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: 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: 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.

Spiritual Awakening: How is Your Flow?

Spiritual Awakening: How is Your Flow?

This blog entry was inspired by a minor set back that occured this morning. I showed up to work with a client who had booked me for 3 days only to find out she wasn’t able to work with me this week.  At first I was very upset, then I took a deep breath and realized everything will work out and I stayed in the positive flow.    As I was writing this the phone rang and it was my client and we came to an agreement. It is amazing what can happen when we just go with the flow and let things happen. The lesson learned is to breathe and slow down and allow the good to prevail.

 Opening the chakras and being open to receive will increase your flow.

Spiritual Awakening: Understanding Flow

Once we realize that everything is energy we begin to create the ability to harness the energy for good and thus increase our flow. The biggest step is to ubderstand the flow of energy and how it is affecting our state of being in  making the mind, body, soul connection.

 This energy pyramid shows that the greatest energy we have is our spiritual energy, our connection to source and those surrounding us.  It is when we are spiritually energized that all the other aspects of energy allows for positive flow. The key is to get centered and balanced and look for the good in the energy field. Today the client cancelled, which is disappointing, howver it freed me up to do a blog entry and seek some other opportunities and follow up on a few projects.
