Jonathan JDOGG Lederan – Spiritual Awakening

The last two months have been a challenge for me medically and financially. There have been many days that I did not feel like getting out of bed as things were not moving forward as I had hoped they would. I haven’t had a steady income and things are tough and I could really use people visiting www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 and making a love donation. I was so consumed with the prospects of losing everything that I quit in myself and then I remembered my spiritual teachings and I sat in meditation and the message received was simple. It was time to make a comeback and stop making excuses and push forward to make im0rovements in my personal and professional life. After receiving the message I started to walk daily with a goal of doing 5000 steps a day. In the month of March I have reached this goal 12 of 23 days. I have also been spending more time seeking full time employment and today (3/24/2025) I had a phone interview with Mattress Firm. They are going to let me know their decision later this week. This experience has taught me to keep moving forward and to make a come back. I was focusing on so much of the negative that my life nearly stopped and then I remembered I am the STAY POSITIVE GUY and I need to practice what I preach and come out of the darkness.

As I listened to this song I realized that I am not alone and that I am not the only struggling but I need to face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running. It was time to tap into my inner divinity and to make a come back so as to continue to be of service and value to others, It was time to get back to the spiritual teachings and understand that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It was time to focus on the good and to realize that everything happens for a reason. It was time to awaken spiritually and recognize that we are all divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to prosper so that we can prosper others. It is time to change what you can and accept what you can not and to have the wisdom to know the difference.

It was when I sat down and truly began to internalize the serenity prayer that I knew it was time for a comeback. I was reminded of all the times In have been knocked down and how I made it through the adversity and flourished. In making a comeback it is important to remember that passion + action = success and that becoming an action taker is imperative to attracting peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is important to awaken spiritually so that you will enhance your personal and professional life as you make your comeback. Many time we lose our way and it is important to get back on our path so as to answer our calling so that we can grow and expand as we continue on our spiritual journey.

One way to make your come back is to turn to the scriptures and to find verses that will keep you moving in a positive direction of your goals. Many times your come back starts when you let go and let GOD.

The time is now for your comeback. You have greatness inside of you and now is your season to tap into your greatness and to rise to new heights. Namaste.

Spiritual Awakening: Starting Over

A lot has happened since my last post on May 25. I was in a rough spot as I was not feeling well about myself and was in a challenging space mentally and physically and then my aunt who I was close with passed away. I wasn’t feeling motivated and then I sat down and said it was time to start over and look at things differently and to stop wallowing in self pity and realize that I can be of service and value to others and that I have a purpose to help other people excel. On August 2, I celebrated my 59th birthday and I realized that I have a lot to be proud of and that my spiritual journey is exactly where GOD has intended it to be. Last night ( August 20) I attended a Share Event to benefit The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Plantation and Sunrise at Rock and Brews in Plantation. I set up a Make Me An Offer Table and acted as the greeter telling patrons about our fundraiser. I realized that it is when I take action and start over that good thing happen. I also realized that my level of dedication and commitment and enthusiasm may be at a higher level than others. When I arrived home I passed by The Serenity Prayer that Hangs on my wall and though the only thing I can change is me.

As I turned in for the nigh I reminded myself that the only things I can control is myself and the way I react to things. It was at this point that I realized that every day is a day to start over for yesterday is gone and tomorrow in not promised and that is why they call today the present.

In looking at each day asa new opportunity you will find yourself improving mentally, physically, and spiritually this enabling you to grow personally and professionally. I have come to realize that it is important to put yourself first and to take care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health so that you can give 100% to what you do so as to find what you define as success. I have learned there will be some set backs along the way however you can not focus on them as they will stop you from moving forward in a positive direction of your goals. There comes a time when you have to put what isn’t working behind you and start over.

It when you regroup and start over with a sense of purpose so that you can plan your work and work your plan that you will begin to feel better physically and mentally. It is when you change what you focus on and look at that your life changes and this begins when you commit to starting over. In Starting over you begin to find more gratitude for what you have and you begin to utilize your talents for good. In many situations yo need to take a step back and begin again so you can get a new perspective on things and detach yourself from the outcome. Sometime in order to start over you simply need to let go and let GOD.

When you start over by letting go and letting GOD you will find yourself unencumbered by the weight of that which you can not control. If you find yourself stick simply take a step back and start over. Namaste!!!
