Spiritual Awakening: Stuart Scott Leaves A Spiritual Lesson!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Stuart Scott Leaves a Spiritual Lesson!!!

stuart-scott.jpgAs most of you who read this blog on a regular basis know I am a broadcaster and an avid sports enthusiast. One of my favorites was Stuart Scott who on January 4, 2015 was called home to GOD after battling cancer for the 3rd time. His speech at The 2014 ESPY Awards after receiving The Jim Valvano Perseverance Award was captivating and inspiring. How Stuart Scott battled with grace and dignity teaches us many spiritual lessons. Stuart’s love for his family and those he worked with and came in contact with taught is all that love is a great power to share.  Stuart was authentic and this came across in all he did. I remember writing him an invite to come to The Relay For Life and receiving a gracious reply that he was unable to attend. Stuart taught the world to live life to the fullest and if you are over the top you may just impact lives in a positive manner.  As I reflected on the life and times of Stuart Scott I realized that he had an amazing way of connecting with people. Though I never met Stuart Scott I feel like he was part of my life as I studied him and have emulated his professionalism. Stuart taught us to take action and to go after our dreams while being our authentic self.  As we honor Stuart let us look at those who have made a positive impact on our lives and honor them as well. Let us take the final words of his ESPY Speech and live life full out.

stuart scott dies cancerStuart Scott’s emotional ESPYs speech about cancer & his daughtersStuart Scott is now an angel watching over us.  He showed us the importance of love, compassion, drive, and enthusiasm. He showed us all how important it is to always do your best.  Stuart Scott was more than just an award winner and a broadcaster he was a man with conviction and compassion. If we could all be half as good as Stuart Scott was we can make our world a better place.  Stuart Scott answered a calling and helped us all to come alive and reminded us all just how important it is to be of service and value.  Far beyond the face on a TV Screen Stuart Scott was a man who will always be remembered for his impact not only in The Sports Broadcasting Industry but on our society.  I am hoping that those reading this entry will honor his memory with a donation to help cancer patients and their families at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2.

Stuart Scott ESPYs Speech QuoteStuart ScottStuart Scott took up MMA Fighting as a way to train and thus make the mind, body, soul connection. While many would have thrown in the towel Stuart gave cancer a big Booyah and now he has found the cool side of the pillow. Stuart Scott taught us to battle and to never give up. Today I realize that perhaps GOD needed him more in heaven than we needed him on earth. His legacy is one of strength, inspiration, dreams, and hope. Stuart’s commitment to helping other people excel was seen in all he did from mentoring young journalists to supporting aspiring broadcasters. Stuart Scott may be gone from this earth but he is not forgotten.

Spiritual Awakening: Everyday Should Be Christmas!!!with

Spiritual Awakening: Everyday Should Be Christmas!!!

This is the day the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it ...As those who celebrate Christmas begin to prepare to celebrate the birth of the savior, Jesus Christ, I begin to look at what Christmas represents and think what if everyone had a spiritual awakening and we could make Christmas everyday. I am not saying with the commercialized version of Christmas but the true spiritual meaning of fellowship showing that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. It would be great if everyone decided that they would rejoice and be glad in the day that the Lord hath made and do things that would promote peace, love, joy, and prosperity.  I have often said wouldn’t it be great if people took action to make Christmas everyday.  What a world it would be if we could all get together on the same wave length and start helping one another simply by getting in touch with our divine calling and moving forward in a positive direction to answer that calling. Think about doing something kind 365 days out of the year. It doesn’t always have to be about giving money to a charity even though that it nice it can be as simple as holding a door open for someone, or letting someone go ahead of you in line, or simply smiling at some one and wishing then a great day. If you make it an anthem to make Christmas everyday you will see a shift in your life and in the lives of those you come in contact with. if you look at the teachings of the ascended masters and follow the #1 ascended master, Jesus, you will be divinely guided with your purpose. If you awaken each day with the idea of being of service and value to others you will be rewarded.

35+ Most Beautiful Christmas Background, Merry Christmas Everyone!!Today as I held the door open for someone at Starbucks I said Merry Christmas and they smiled and said thank you. In this simple act of kindness I saw a shift on myself and the person I held the door open for. In doing acts of kindness we are able to show that service to humanity is the best work of life.  Through out the spiritual awakening process I have learned that when you do everything with love and kindness in your heart you will find success. What if for today and each day following you committed to doing things differently using the spiritual principles of Christmas and shying away from the materialism, what do you think would happen?  I was asked what if you say Merry Christmas and the person says I don’t celebrate Christmas and gets real defensive?At that moment I take a deep breathe and say GOD Bless You. If they turn and say I don’t Believe in GOD I say okay hope you have a joyous day. The key is to detach and diffuse and be your authentic spiritually awakened self.  I believe  that both Hanukkah and Christmas represent miracles and the celebration of these miracles should be honored not only during the designated holidays but daily.

Spiritual Awakening: Looking Back And Moving Forward!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Looking Back And Moving Forward!!!

 In the spiritual awakening process one must take a look back in order to move forward.  I always suggest that at the end of the year you do a year in review and reflect on all the good that has happened while also seeing how you  have learned from the perceived bad that has happened.  I recommend that when you look back over the year you remember that the rear view mirror is a lot smaller than the windshield.  As you look back, recall all the great things that occurred in your life remember the feeling that you experience and hold that emotion so that when things get a  bit tough as they sometimes will that you can recall that great feeling and remember how that achievement came to pass or how that happiness was achieved and thus take action to move forward and create more greatness in your life.  In the last 10 years I have always made the Month on December a month of reflection where I hold on to the great things that happened and let go of the challenging things.

One the first things I do to reflect is I put on some soft soothing music get out the note book and begin to write this year I was grateful for……….. This years theses things or events brought happiness to my life…….  This year I faced and overcame these challenges…. In doing this exercise I have  found that I have evolved in my spirituality and as a result have been able to lay a solid foundation to begin the new year in a positive way. As we put 2014 in the rear view mirror  and focus on looking at 2015 we have the opportunity to evaluate that which is serving us and improve upon on it and to eliminate that which no longer serves us.  For those that read this blog you know I collect teddy bears as I was going through some items in my car I cam across a State Farm Teddy Bear and realized that I had no real purpose for keeping it so when the chance came to give it away to a mother with a baby I did and I can tell you it felt great to be able to have a positive reflection and create a positive vibration of kindness. As you look back so that you can move forward look at the small gestures that made a positive impact on your life and the lives of others. That $5 donation made at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 may seem small to you but for someone being helped by The American Cancer Society it is very big. The spare change given with love to a Salvation Army Bell Ringer may seem small to you but to the man or women who gets a meal at The Salvation Army Shelter is is huge. Remember it is doing the small things with great love that create the ability to move forward.  As you look back cherish the good things and  remove the bad things.

Spiritual Awakening: Tell Me Something Good!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Tell Me Something Good!!!

 As I watched the news, which I very rarely do as I  do not want to be influenced by the negativity that most new outlets perpetrate so as to increase ratings. Through out the spiritual awakening process I have learned that what we focus on expands thus I would rather focus on the great things GOD is doing in my life and share them with others so as to show them that when you tap into your inner divinity and allow the power inside to be unleashed in a positive way that many good things will occur. My message today is to tell me something good as goodness begets more goodness. I sign my emails and letters with the words Stay Positive. People ask me all the time JDOGG, how can you stay so positive with all the negative things occurring in the world? My answer is if I do not give them credence and I focus on the good that is happening I become more awake spiritually and I can help others to experience a spiritual awakening. There are many issues to tackle in our lifetime however if we go about attacking them we only make them worse.  We have had a war on drugs in America and the drug problem has gotten worse. We have had a war on poverty in America and more people are impoverished than ever before? We have been fighting perceived enemies and we have created more turmoil. What is the answer to change how we word things such as instead of being anti-drug become pro health and educate people about the fact that GOD wants them to prosper and treat their body well and the answer doesn’t lie in a bottle or a needle or a pill the answer lies within us when we realize we are all divine children of GOD destined to be great and prosper. Instead of being against poverty become a proponent of wealth development and show people how they can become self sufficient. Instead of judging get to know people as you may find that we are more alike than we are different. Take a moment to share your goodness with others and watch what happens.
 If we are to accomplish peace we must become peaceful beings.  We must look at what we have and be grateful for it. When we have a little extra  it is up to us to share our prosperity. When we become peaceful beings and we begin to share goodness with others we make our world  a better place. When I was in The Jaycees we would recite the following creed. I took an oath to be a living example of this creed and today that creed hangs on my refrigerator as a reminder to spread peace wherever I go.

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Waiting For?

Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Waiting For?

 Today’s entry was inspired by Nickelback’s song what are you waiting for? In the spiritual awakening process it is important to become an action taker and do things with a sense of purpose and passion. I have learned over the years that you either find a way or you find an excuse. It is said that the wealthiest people are found in a cemetery as their ideas and dreams died with them because they kept waiting or they listened to the naysayers. So many times people do not embrace their spiritual gifts and GOD Given Talents that it becomes to late because as they sit on their death bed recounting what could have been, what might have been, or what they should have been their time runs out. To avoid any regrets in your final days take action on your idea implement it and see what happens. Sometimes you just have to take it to the streets.

Collinsville Relay for Life kicks of Jan. 23 A few years ago I had an idea to run POINTS FOR THE CURE FOOTBALL EDITION and I was doing it every week with not so much success so this year I tweaked the idea and I am now taking it to the streets to be run from 10/22-28/2014 where people will choose their favorite College or Professional Football Team and after they play will visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and donate $.25 (25 cents) per point that their team scored.  I have been utilizing a 3 foot rule where I share this information. Many people have been receptive and think it is a great idea as it combines something they like watching with helping a good cause. The key is to come up with the idea then implement it and make changes so it evolves.  I have learned that in all you do you must take action and take it to the streets. Let people hear your message and build their trust as people want to engage with people they know, like, and trust.  Ask yourself why am I hesitating, what am I waiting for then take action and start. Sometimes it is turning to GOD ans seeking to have a fire started in you.

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Up Or Going Down?

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Up Or Going Down?

 In our spiritual awakening we often face the question of are we getting up or are we going down. As we continue to evolve and delve further and further into our divinity discovering our purpose we will run into those who see us getting up and they will want to bring us down. What do you you do when you encounter the naysayers or  the promulgators of negativity? I generally tell them thank you to bad, so sad, don’t let the door hit you where GOD split you. In taking action and deciding to move forward in a positive direction toward our goals and dreams we begin to find it easier and easier to detach from people, places, and things that no longer serve us. The anthem of staying positive allows me to continue to move up and at times when I feel like I am going down I say GOD if I get knocked down please allow me to land on my back for if I can look up I can get up. I have learned through out the spiritual awakening process that life will knock you down at times however I have been able to get up by remembering that of GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. As GOD brings you through things and leads you with the plans he has made for you one understands that the hall of fame is waiting for us.

In the spiritual awakening process one will begin to see that they are getting up and in getting up will become inducted into their own hall of fame. In my home I have my personal wall of fame where I am the first picture and then I have photos of those people who I draw inspiration from like Irene Cara, who I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing.

IRENE CARAThis photo is the one that hangs on my wall of fame reminding me that if you are getting up you are moving forward in the positive direction of your dreams. I have come to understand that one must answer the question are you getting up or going down?  In the spiritual journey I have encountered many people who are award winners and who have come alive thus inspiring others to shine their light and illuminate the world. We all have the opportunity to achieve FAME in our own right. This fame may come in the form of accolades for being of service and value to the community, recognition from our peers fro outstanding work, awards from organizations and leaders who we have contributed to the betterment of their personal and professional lives. It may come from the opportunity of simply being out in the community and sharing your message with others.

 As one awakens and gets in tune with their divinity and finding their purpose they do things that are positive and memorable that add value to those they come in contact with. The gifts you have to share are inside of you and need to be let out. In deciding to get up instead of going down you put in motion the mechanics necessary to make a mind, body, soul connection and to excel in your personal and professional life.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Get U!!!

 

I recently had the opportunity to interview Serena Dyer on my radio show, Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, which airs on Monday at 6:00 PM EDT on www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio and I found her insight to be very helpful for those seeking to grow personally, professionally, or spiritually. Her book will serve as a great tool to help you get up.

Spiritual Awakening: JDOGG’S Ways To Get Up!!!

 Sometimes I find myself just playing The Philippines National Anthem just to shift my mood as the memories of my U.S. Peace Corps Service helps me to get up.
The Rocky Theme has become a staple in y music library as a way to raise my vibrational level and get up.

Sometimes you just have to dance and let your inner child take over.

The best way to get up is to Stay Positive!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Doing The Deed!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Doing The Deed!!!

 

As school started today in South Florida I began to reflect on all the dirty deeds that I did while in high school and the lessons that these deeds contained. From 1979-1983 I was a bit of a rebel and my rebellious actions often landed me in Internal Suspension. This rebellious side also led to many good deeds being done as I was able to reflect and turn the rebellious side into a positive side. It was when I decided to take action and confront my rebellious side that I had an awakening of sorts that kept telling me there must be a better way. As I matured I began to understand that the dirty deeds needed to stop and the good deeds had to take over. By committing then to do good deeds and to be of service and value I began to see a more positive shift in my life. As I began to walk a spiritual path and do what was right in my heart I began to grow and great things started to happen. I was beginning to feel fulfilled as I was helping others and as a result I was helping myself. I began to get recognized for my good deeds. It was when I decided to change that my life began to change. In 1983 I was accepted to 4 colleges, University Of Maryland, American University, Stetson University, and Hofstra University. I chose Hofstra and in The Fall of 1983 I began a journey that would change my life. In 4.5 years I would learn so much about myself and I would see that I was evolving asa spiritual being. My ways of doing things were a bit different and yet highly effective. As I look back on the deeds done in college I can tell you that most of them were good and changed some lives.  In 1989 I joined The Jaycees.Junior Chamber of Commerce and learned a lesson that I use as a mantra today That Service To Humanity Is The Best Work Of Life. One of the things that I learned through out the spiritual awakening process was that we weren’t born to follow.

As I began to embrace the fact  that we were not born to follow that we were born for a purpose and to lead I realized that the best leaders are the ones who allow others to aspire to leadership roles. Some will say that we all ca not be leaders and the truth is that yes we can as we can lead our lives as leaders in our lives that we can do what we believe in our heart and follow our heart. The only two people we have to follow is GOD and yourself. If  we tap into our genius and step into our power we will lead the life that GOD has prepared for us and no one else’s life. So many time we are told what we should do or what we have to do by people that don’t understand that we were not born to follow we were born to stand out. To these people I say I will do what I believe will honor GOD and myself and all will work out in the end as it is divinely planned.  In many cases we must detach ourselves from those who want us to follow and we must take the path that GOD has provided for us. It is when we learn to hold on to our dreams that we are able to understand the plan that GOD has for us and to better follow his plan by doing the deeds he has set out for us.

Spiritual Awakening: Moment By Moment!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Moment By Moment!!!

 

On August 8,2008 the world had an opportunity to experience a spiritual awakening as nations from around the world gathered to celebrate the greatness of their respective athletes as they gathered in Bejing, China for The Summer Olympics. This is awakening showed us the beauty of China while also waking up the world to human rights violations and thus reaffirmed that in our spiritual practices we will see things that we must act upon so that we can positively shift our world and help those who may be oppressed. It is up to us to take each moment and learn from the moments so that we can enhance the lives of others. When the Olympics ended we had many great memories however the fact that people are being oppressed all over the world remains today. This oppression can come from the mind set that has been driven into the psyche of most humans from day one that you were programmed to do what your parents and what your government wants and any resistance is futile.  This oppression may be self imposed as you don’t think you are good enough or every time you face a challenge you forget everything and run. Oppression can be overcome when you look at each moment and you face everything and rise. In facing everything and rising you will experience some hardships however you will win in the end.

In the movie Teen Wolf we learn a lesson that in life their comes a moment to step up and embrace our uniqueness and to use our power for good. The movie showed us that we could use the power of the wolf that lies in us and control our situation and without getting overly aggressive we can face whatever oppression we may be facing then we can conquer it and have our shining moment.

Spiritual Awakening: The Name Game!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Name Game!!!

 

 As I sat down to write this blog and further explore the spiritual awakening process I kept hearing the message of uniqueness and names. The first song that came to mind was Jim Croce’s I’ve Got A Name as it reminds us that we are all unique in our own right and our name has significance. I sat an pondered the meaning of my name Jonathan, which translates into sent from GOD. I then began to take some action and explore my Hebrew Name Yusel Simcha, which translates into Jonathan The Blessing.  As I began to think about my name I began to reflect on the many things that have unfolded in my life and the work I have been doing to help others since I was very young. I began to realize that the name I have become most comfortable with is Jonathan. It took a big transformation to accept this name and use it as when I was younger I did not like it and shortened it to Jon and then one day it came to me that GOD directed my mother to give me the name Jonathan and I started using it ever since embracing it and its meaning.  In playing games with my name I also began to realize that regardless of how we address GOD and the name we call him by GOD knows us by our name and watches over us to insure that we can create the prosperity that is our birthright.

 Tommy Walker reminds us that GOD knows our name and that he watches us. Some may call this GOD source, spirit, universe,higher power, higher being, Allah, Buddah, Jesus. It does not matter what you call GOD what matters is that you forge a relationship with GOD and that you remember he knows your name and wants you to be successful.

Spiritual Awakening: Get On Up Off Of That Thing!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Get On Up Off Of That Thing!!!

 One may find it a bit out there to use the music of James Brown to express the concepts of spiritual awakening however the truth is until you are committed to getting off your ass and getting up to dance the way you want and create the life that you want you will continue to go in circles.  It is when you embrace the spiritual awakening and get off the sidelines that you begin to create a life filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity. I was at an event the another night where the parishioners were getting up and praising GOD and allowing spirit to flow through them and from them. The people praising were releasing many of the blockages that may have been creating challenges in their personal and professional lives. In getting on up off of that thing  they were able to experience a spiritual bliss that now allows them to honor GOD daily and as a result be honored by GOD. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to let go and let GOD. There will be times in the spiritual awakening process that you may not understand why but in due time it will all be revealed to you. It is when you commit to taking action and allowing GOD to direct you that you are put in favor and the outcomes you desire come to fruition.

In getting up off of that thing you will want to truly feel the desire that you want to attract. Visualization is a great tool to use. Act as if it has already happened and watch what begins to occur. I have often visualized what it would look and feel like to stand up and tell a group of volunteers for The American Cancer Society how important the role they play in creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays is. As a result f doing this I have spoken to over 2500 Relay For Life Participants and delivered a positive message. Believe it or not there was a time in my life that I was shy and reserved and afraid to speak to large groups then one day I decided to get on up off of that thing and  step into the arena of public speaking. Since that day I have flourished and won awards for public speaking. Today I host a radio show and a TV Show. You can hear the radio show on Monday at 6 PM EDT on www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio. You can view The TV Show on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT on www.wrpbitv.com. It was the day that I had the courage to get on up off that thing and take action that I began having success. As a result I have won numerous awards including The Governor’s Point Of Light Award.  In answering my calling and following the path that GOD has set for me I have been able to become a great announcer, a successful voice over talent, a published author, an inspirational speaker. and a tremendous fundraiser.
