Spiritual Awakening: Breaking Eggs And Ruffling Feathers!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Breaking Eggs and Ruffling Feathers!!!

Image result for Broken EggsAs you awaken spiritually you will find yourself with many broken eggs as you stand in your beliefs and follow your passion thus you will ruffle some feathers along the way. Sometimes broken eggs seem like a mess however when you look at what you can do with the broken eggs you will find the the mess becomes a message. Today(5/21/2019) I was out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and like I do on most days I plan out places to go and garner donations. I usually approach businesses unannounced which can be a good thing at times as while at others it can be a bad choice as many people in leadership roles at a business put their guard up.  Most of my encounters were great and the businesses let me announce who I was and what I was doing while others said it was against their policy. One GM gave me such an attitude that I said to myself the hell with their policy I am making my announcement anyway. I did and I had one patron give me a $20 donation. The GM was not pleased and will probably complain about me. This won’t be the first time. I called the corporate office and their marketing director was very nice and I apologized if I overstepped any boundaries. The marketing director went as far as sending me an email inviting me to set up a Give Back Night for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I realized that not everyone is ready to break some eggs and ruffle some feathers as they operate from a position of fear and do not get to know the people they are interacting with through out the day. We all can be of service and value to one another simply by breaking some eggs and ruffling some feathers. In breaking eggs and ruffling feathers we make people think through our actions. Many times bigger corporations simply lack the foresight of empowering and inspiring their employees and as a result they don’t see the big picture and thus forget about the importance of building relationships.

Spiritual Awakening: Staying In Focus!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Staying In Focus!!!

Image result for FocusAs you awaken spiritually you will find yourself out of focus as you have so many things running through your mind as become more and more aware of the power that you have. To harness this power you are going to want to step back take a deep breathe and focus on your task at hand. As you begin to understand that it is when you are focused you gain clarity of purpose you will see yourself attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. I have come to learn that when you stay focused and alleviate the distractions that your personal, professional, and spiritual life is enhanced. In staying focused  you will see that what used to trigger you no longer affects you as you have awakened to the concept that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper. It is when we stay focused and don’t allow distractions to get in our way that we have the most success.

Spiritual Awakening: Facing Down The Demons!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Facing Down The Demons!!!

  Today one of my demons reared its ugly head in the form of anger and aggressiveness. Once the dust cleared I had a spiritual awakening that I need to put all the anger that has built up inside of me over the last 10 months behind me and turn back to GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels and allow them to guide me to a life filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity. I learned that as righteous as I may want to be be it is not my job to be the morality police and that it is better to simply let others that are in a position of enforcement to take care of things. I have always believed if you see an injustice being done and you do nothing you are just as guilty as the person committing the injustice however after today’s encounter I was further awakened to the fact that they way things are and the way things should be are two different things. I have learned that there are some people who are simply oblivious to doing the right thing and some people are just straight out mean. Today (4/9/2019) I encountered good and bad as I was at Starbucks and asked 2 ladies if I could share their table only to be cursed out in a foreign language then a lady saw what was happening and said come here and plug in. It turns out this lady was studying child psychology and we had a nice interaction. This gave me back the belief that there are some good people in this world. I then checked out www.relayforlife.org/sunrisetamaracfl and saw that the fundraising thermometer rising which again restored my belief that service to humanity is the best work of life. It was at that point I asked GOD for forgiveness and guidance to face down my demons and to become a positive action taker where I actions would positively impact the live of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Stop The Foolishness!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Stop The Foolishness!!!

Image result for April's Fools

Did you notice the date today (4/1/19)? Yes it is April Fools Day however now is the time to stop the foolishness that has been creating blockages in your life. It is time for you to take ownership of where you are and where you want to be and to awaken spiritually to take the action needed to manifest the life that you want. It is time to surround yourself with people who will take you serious and support you in your effort to be of service and value to others. When you encounter foolishness you need to take a deep breathe and hold a special space for the person being foolish and then move forward in a positive direction of your goals and dreams. It is time to walk in your truth and stay connected to GOD so that you can continue to evolve personally, professionally, and  spiritually. Sometimes we have to go deep inside and find out what is attracting this foolishness to us.

Image result for say what

I have had this though many times over the last 9 months as I am dealing with the loss of my DAD and not having steady work. I have had my share of foolishness with people saying oh I want you to do my voice over for my book but I can’t pay you to oh thanks for coming and announcing for me can I pay you next week.  I say it is time to stop the foolishness and surround yourself with people who value you. It is time to go where you are celebrated and not just tolerated. I had a women the other when asked to visit www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more and make a donation that if I am in debt why am I raising money for The American Cancer Society. I explained that by helping others you open up the channels to receive help for your self. It is amazing to me that many people simply do not get it. I have others tell me oh get a job not realizing that it isn’t that easy. I want to work but have not have success in finding work despite sending resumes daily and applying on line everyday. I had had some gigs but not enough to sustain the situation I find myself in.  People have been really quick to judge while others have come through for me. I have found some to be foolish and then thought maybe it was me being foolish in expecting people that I have helped to return the favor. I took action by offering KNOCKOUT CANCER TEE-SHIRTS on line only to have myself and 4 other people purchase the shirts. I looked back and though this is foolishness I am spending all this time and energy and not many people are responding. It was at that moment when I realized that I need to build a more receptive audience and stop being foolish in my actions. Instead I decided to go out into the community and simply share who I am and what I am doing to help others and as a result I raised $432 for The American Cancer Society in 3 hours at a local event. It was then that I realized I need to work smarter and not harder.

Image result for Stop The Foolishness

In committing to stopping the foolishness and awakening spiritually you will find that all you need is to listen and take action on the messages being sent from GOD.  In taking action you will face everything and rise as opposed to forgetting everything and running. It is when we awaken spiritually that we are able to stop the foolishness and  to move ahead to improve personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is important to detach from outcomes and learn from the action that you take. Sometimes you have to realize that your ideas will not resonate with everyone and that is okay for those who are ready to embrace your ideas will be presented to you. It is time to come alive and answer your calling to make a change in the community by understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is time to find those who will stop the foolishness and get real with you and themselves by walking in truth and continuing on a spiritual path.

   Don’t be anyone’s fool take a moment to find your power so you can step with strength into anything that you undertake and if someone decides to be foolish then simply step back and take the action necessary to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. If you find yourself encountering foolishness to often take a look at what you are doing and take the necessary steps to make a change to stop the foolishness.

   It is time to stop fooling yourself and to understand that not everyone is ready to become more aware and awake. It is time to stop trying to drag people kicking and screaming toward your way of thinking as it becomes like wrestling a pig in the mud as you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. The time is now for you to walk in your truth and understand that those meant to lift you up will be provided to you when GOD deems them necessary to show up.   Stay Positive Today!!! Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Higher!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Getting Higher!

As I left an interview with a staffing agency today (3/22/2019) I began to think how important it is to radiate and vibrate at a higher level of consciousness so as to tap into our inner divinity and create our best life. As I went out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I was reminded to vibrate at the highest level possible and detach from the outcome. As a result of being centered, balanced, and focused I was able to resonate with my message and had people donate and be kind. It may have helped that I was dressed in a suit and I looked like an executive which reinforced my belief that when you look good and feel good you can do good.  It may have been that I felt a special connection with GOD today and GOD was allowing me to get higher. In staying connected to GOD and taking action you begin to function at a higher level of consciousness thus allowing you to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is said the better your attitude the higher your altitude. It is now time for you to soar higher than you have soared before by getting higher in your mind, body, soul connection.  As you get higher it is important to feast on the fruits of spirit.

Spiritual Awakening: Make It Fun!!!

image 0

Today (3/21/2019) I was at the post office picking up a package that WWW.FANCHEST.COM sent me to use in my fundraising efforts for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life when a family with an appointment to do their passports were told that the person that does the passports was out to lunch. They were upset so I stepped in and told them about City Hall In The Mall and I quoted The Four Agreements. A man in line said awesome The Four Agreements. He and I had a good conversation and he told me he told his daughter to read The Four Agreements and asked me for my card. I gave him my card and we went about our business. It was at that point I decided that regardless of anything that happens today I am going to make it fun. With this decision made I went out to promote and collect donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Most everyone was very receptive. The Bagel Shop let me make an announcement so I turned on my radio voice and got everyone’s attention and a few people made donations. The Chinese Restaurant allowed me to make an announcement to their patrons and most of the patrons donated. As I continued to walk in my truth and commit to having fun I did run into one office who simply didn’t get what I was doing. I Left that office took a deep breath and help a special place for the woman who seemed to be on a power trip.

In deciding to make it fun and implement the attitude of does it look like I give a F*** I found myself more centered, balanced, and focused. The fact is I do care about being of service and value to others however I stopped worrying about what people think of me a long time ago as I have become more aware and awake spiritually. I have come to understand that not everyone will resonate with the way you do things and that is okay for it is not your job to drag people kicking and screaming onto the path it is your responsibility to simply walk in your truth and when people are ready they will walk with you. Sometimes you just have to let go and let GOD knowing that everything is possible through Christ who strengthens me. In making a commitment to live a life of joy and to bring joy to others you will find that you attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life.

As I decided to have fun and be grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on people I found myself achieving more and connecting with people on a cellular level thus creating opportunities to improve my personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is when you make things fun that you begin to attract the people into your life that are meant to help you create the life that you desire.

Image result for spiritual happiness quotes

When you awaken in the morning remind yourself that this is the day the lord hath made to be glad and rejoice in it. When you look at things from a different perspective and understand that not everyone will get you but many will and as a result you will be able to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. Many would look at waiting on line at the post office as a burden I looked at as an opportunity to share with others and possibly make connections where I could be of service and value to others. Some would be upset that the lady at the leasing office was so worried about tenants complaining that she lost sight of gaining a sense of purpose by helping a charitable cause. As you evolve spiritually and move toward enlightenment remember tat everyone is on their own path traveling at their own pace and may not be ready for your message so walk in your truth having fun while achieving your goals and objectives.

When you praise and honor GOD with a joyful noise you will find yourself having more fun, bliss, and abundance in your life for at the end of the day you will be able to look back on the day and see just how great the day went as you committed to walking with GOD and having fun by showing the world that service to humanity is the best work of life.

Tap into your inner divinity and honor others while you have fun and enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Namaste!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: It Takes All Types

As I continue to evolve spiritually and become more and more aware and awake I understand that it takes all types of people to help you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Today (3/20/2019) I had to take care of some banking and as I walked into TD Bank I was greeted with a nice welcome and the lady behind me commented on how nice it is to have some pleasant people in the world. We began to talk and I told her about how I was seeking employment and she took my card. This set the tone for the rest of the day as I went out to promote The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. As I was out collecting donations and promoting Relay For Life I encountered some nice people and not so nice people. I fully understand that I am coming into someone’s office or place of business unannounced however it doesn’t take a big effort to be nice. I have come to realize that some people are not going to vibrate at a high level thus they won’t understand the laws of reciprocity and other teachings that can bring them to a higher level. Sometimes we miss out on opportunities to make a spiritual connection and to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives because we get so caught up in ourselves that we don’t take the time to listen to others and see how we can be of service and value to one another. So many times we put our defenses up and start to make excuses that we miss out on a chance to enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual life.

I have come to understand that when I walk into an office or place of business where I am not known that I will be treated in a strange way by some and a nice way by others for everyone will not resonate with me message. It is amazing to me how many people are quick to judge or throw up roadblocks and those same people then wonder why things are not as good as they can be for them. I have found that those who are open and come from a position of gratitude manifest peace, love, joy, and prosperity in their lives. I have come to learn that sometimes it is better to simply understand that it takes all types and that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. I have realized that sometimes in pushing your views it is like wrestling a pig in the mud as you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it so know that there comes a time to walk way and realize that trying to make your point is not going to serve you and is taking time from you to meet someone who will resonate with your message.

As I encounter those who are quick to judge and give off negative energy I simply hold a place for them knowing that one day they will be ready to get on the path and connect with inner divinity and understand that GOD Loves A Cheerful Giver. Through the spiritual awakening process I have seen that there are action takers and excuse makers. Which one will you be. In the last 9 months since my DAD passed I have seen the generosity of others and the stinginess of some. As a result I am grateful for those who have come forward to help. I currently have a campaign at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more. One donor wrote that she wished it could be more. I wrote back and thanked her for helping. In showing gratitude I am opening more doors to receive and to move forward in a positive direction of my dreams.

As I was looking for something to close out this entry this song was delivered to me by the universe. As I listened to the lyrics I began to grasp the idea that it takes all sorts to make our world a better place. It was when I reflected about the encounters I had today (3/20/19) that I realized that GOD puts some difficult people on your path to teach you the lessons that you need at the time. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Man With A Bucket And A Message!!!

Image result for Relay For Life Collection Bucket

When one is passionate and spiritually awake they are able to take action and continue to be of service and value to others. Over the years as I continue on my spiritual journey I have become a man with a collection bucket and a message. As a man with a bucket and a message I have been able to help those touched by cancer by raising funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. I have been delivering a message that GOD Loves A Cheerful Giver and that when you give you open channels to receive. I have encountered some very positive people who joyfully give and I have experienced some negativity as many people just simply don’t know the facts and haven’t researched the organization enough and simply go by what they hear never getting to know the truth. I have heard so many times that most of the money goes to administrative costs which is not true as only 4% of all money goes to administrative costs leaving 96% to fund research, education, advocacy, and services. I have hear oh there are cures out there and there are several treatments that will arrest the cancer and slow its progress and lessen the chance of occurrence. The inroads being made to decrease the risk of cancer is amazing. I recommend people visit www.cancer.org and get the facts before judging the work that I am doing as I fundraise. I have come to understand that there are some who will, some who won’t, some waiting, so what, next as not everyone is going to resonate with my message.

I decided to write about Relay For Life Today (3/11/19) as my participation has helped me to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have been able to tap into my talents and use them for good. As a result I have seen the many programs of The American Cancer Society and the benefits for cancer patients, their families, and their friends. I have been able to plant the seeds of hope and healing and as a result remove blockages that may have been holding me back from moving forward in a positive direction of some of my goals. In my 21 years of involvement I have seen how many lives are being touched through Relay For Life. There have been some set backs, challenges, and hardships along the way however each time a challenge arose I was able to realize that if GOD brought me to it GOD was going to bring me through it.

Image result for Relay For Life Jonathan JDOGG Lederman

When I attend Relay for Life Events I feel a sense of purpose and many times I think I was born for this. As I look back over the 21 years of being involved I can say that the positives outweigh the negatives and many times my involvement in Relay has helped me to overcome personal adversity.

There are two great days in your life the day you are born and the day your figure out why. I have found my why and it has made the world of difference in attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. I wish you much success as you pick up your own bucket and spread your message. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Standing On Your Own!!!

As I sat down to write this entry today(2/13/2019) I started to think how many times I have felt that I am out here on my own and how it is up to me to embrace the spiritual awakening process and to stand on my own. As I reflected on this I realized that I was not really on my own as I had many guides with me helping me to walk in my truth thus creating personal, professional, and spiritual growth. It was as I sat in reflection that I was reassured that if GOD brought you to it GOD was going to bring you though it. The message that I received today was to walk in your truth and when needed stand on your own knowing that GOD has your back. It was in that moment that I understood that sometime you will simply have to stand alone and stand in your truth. In standing alone and being guided by The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels you will see that though you feel alone you really are supported. Sometimes it is just a matter of realizing that you were born for the this and sometimes you have to go where you are not invited.

On Friday 2/8/2019 I went to The Tunes and Trucks Event in The City Of Sunrise, FL to collect donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I went uninvited and was standing alone as someone dedicated to helping those touched by cancer. I began to collect and then went to the stage to ask if I could make an announcement about what I was doing. The stage manager told me he would have to check. He did and a few moment later I was introduced and I made my announcement and The Mayor and the City Commissioners put money in the collection bucket. I then walked the crowd. Most people were receptive and $432 was collected to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. I turned in that money today and I know sit at $2476 raised to fund research, education, advocacy, and services. In my 21 years as a volunteer with The American Cancer Society I have come to understand that sometimes you simply have to stand alone walking in your truth so that those meant to join you in your quest will appear. I have come to realize that when you are being of service and value to others you will encounter doubters, haters, and naysayers. I have come to learn that when you encounter these people to simply walk away and stand alone knowing that you are doing what GOD has intended for you to do as you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Now is the time to be true to yourself and stand alone.

When you sit or stand in your sacred space remind yourself to be true to yourself. In being true to yourself you will experience a gamut of emotions and remind yourself it is okay to cry and to laugh as this will help to clear the blockages that may be stopping you from walking in your truth. Sometimes you simply have to put what others think out of the equation and to simply stand in your truth and find your purpose. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hope Prevails!!!

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling, people standing and text
Relay For Life Where Hope Is Found

   In 1999 I embarked on a journey to help those touched by cancer. I was angry as cancer had taken so many from me and then I found Relay For Life and I experienced what I will call my first recognizable spiritual awakening. I am sure I had other spiritual awakenings however the first one I can recall as I began to fundraise for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Relay was a new concept in the community where I was living at the time(Coral Springs, FL). It was a challenge to get people involved and I was a mighty team of one. I was guided by GOD to contact all the people I knew in the city and ask for their support so I did just that. I had excellent results and our first Relay For Life in Coral Springs raised over $40,000. As the years went on I would lose more people to cancer but instead of getting angry I used the losses as fuel to fund research, education, advocacy, and services and have been successful. On July 5, 2012 my faith was tested greatly as I held my mother’s hand as she took her final breath and was called home to GOD after suffering a massive heart attack while battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer. It was at this moment that I had another spiritual awakening as I went down stairs to make calls and catch my breath and try to understand that my mom was gone. It was about 90 degrees out and I was shivering like a leaf and when I reached it the trunk of my car what did I find, yes you guessed it one of my relay for life hoodies. I looked up to heaven and knew that my mom was already sending me signs and that I was to continue in my effort to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. My experiences with Relay For Life have had there ups and there downs. People have told me why they don’t support The American Cancer Society and that is okay. In the past I tried to convince them why they needed to support my efforts to help The American Cancer Society however now I simply show gratitude to those supporting the efforts and to those who aren’t I simply accept that trying to change their mind is like wrestling a pig in the mud you are both going to get dirty but the pig enjoys it. I have come to understand that hope prevails when you stay focused, centered, and balanced on your calling. 

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Hope!!!

  After being in a dark place I sat in meditation and turned to my creativity as a writer and wrote this poem which helped me to come out of the darkness and into the light gaining an understanding that hope prevails. 

Celebrate Life

By Jonathan Steven Lederman

We gather tonight United in this fight

People from all walks of life Overcoming hardships and strife

Walking for 6 hours

Showing the power Coming together

So that Cancer is beaten forever

May the lights shine bright

As you continue your fight

The survivors you inspire

With your courage and desire

Caregivers you motivate

With dedication and the hope you create

So gather everyone with your teammates

Say a prayer or two

For your loved ones, friends and you

Celebrate Life!!

In taping into your inner divinity you will find that hope prevails!!!

   It was when I began to tap into my inner divinity and allow myself to be guided by GOD that I was able to understand that hope prevails. As a result I have been able to find success with my activities with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life, overcome adversity in my life, and to continue on my path toward enlightenment.  Many times I am asked what my secret is and my answer is that when things seem the darkest that is GOD making a way for you to shine your light. In embracing the idea that hope prevails I have come to learn that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. I have also come to realize that my methodology may not resonate with everyone but those who are in need of receiving my message will and those will be the ones who help me to be of service and value to others. I have also come to understand that if you truly want hope to prevail you must become an action taker.

    We all need to have hope if we are to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. In many cases you simply need to let go and let GOD. GOD will help you to shine your light bright thus enabling you illuminate the world. As long as there is a burning ember in your heart you can fan the flames and create a fire that will make you unstoppable thus showing you that hope prevails.

     Now is the time for you to be brave and to embrace the fact that hope prevails. Now is your time to continue to on your path by stepping into your power and achieving your greatness so as to show the world that hope prevails. Namaste!!!
