Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming Challenges

Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming Challenges

One  thing we must all realize is that we will face challenges in our life. Some of these challenges will be easy to overcome while others will take a bit longer to overcome. The fact is that we have the power inside of us to meet these challenges and move forward with our mission.

It’s when you run away that you’re most liable to stumble.”
Screenwriter and Producer, Casey Robinson

I saw this quote and immediately thought that it is time to face any challenges that may be facing you and to have a plan of action to move through and overcome them. There are many examples of those who have faced challenges and have gone onto do great things that have inspired and empowered others.

 

It is when the sea is rough that you make your best decisions to navigate through the rough seas to find calmness and peace. One way to do this is to quiet the mind through meditation.

There is a website www.freemeditations.com that can assist you in implementing the practice of meditation that can help you to face your challenges.

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: Removing Emotional Baggage

This is Destiny’s Child with a remake of The BeeGees Song Emotions in which the lyrics gives us insight into the baggage that we hold onto  in many cases that hold us back.

Spiritual Awaening: Removing Emotional Baggage

Before we begin to remove emotional baggage we must first define what emotional baggage is.

Emotional baggage can be defined as ‘Painful memories, mistrust and hurt carried around from past sexual or emotional rejection’.[1]

It is an image of ‘a big sack that you carry around with you at all times…[with] every disappointment, trauma, and wrong that you’ve ever experienced….This image, the metaphor of emotional baggage, has penetrated our culture’.[2]

What emotional baggage are you carrying? Well it is now time to unpack and only keep the things in you bag that will serve you and help you become a better person personally and professionally.

 It is time gto throw that suitcase away and release the emotional baggage that may be holding you back.  We all have had pain for some it is physical, some mental, and for some both. The events of our life that we couldn’t control can no longer be allowed to control us. What ever the painful memory is it is time to find a way to let it go for when you let it go and release your emotional baggage you can move forward. Many times we hold onto to things emotionally and we find ourselves in a rut because we have associated all these negative emotions with the situation. It is time to become an action taker and do something to remove the emotional baggage. It can be as easy as adopting a new song to help you get over the situation and remove the emotional baggage. A song like this,

Spiritual Awakening: Thanksgiving, Family, Friends or Another Day

Thanksgiving and Spirituality Showing Gratitude

Spirituality: Thanksgiving

This will be my first Thanksgiving without my mother, Judith Miller, as she was called home by GOD on July 5, 2012. I am honoring her and giving thanks for the years she was with us by asking people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman and to make a donation. My Thanksgiving will be spent with my dad and his significant other at The Kings Buffet.

When Thanksgiving arrives and the sunrises it means turning on the tv and tuning into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and seeing the joy on all the families gathered to celebrate this day of magic that seems to bring everyone together for the common good. For many it is a time for family and friends while for some it is just another day. After viewing the parade it is off to watch football and share time with my Dad and his significant other, Regina. I strongky believe that the elements of Thanksgiving should be shared on a daily basis. Some ways to do this are:

1: Be grateful for the roof over your head and reach out to help those who may not have this luxury

2: Use the magic words thank you when interacting with everyone

3: Write thank you notes just to acknowledge those who are enhancing your personal and professional life

4: Tak a moment simply to call a client and thank them for their support

Thanksgiving Parade Brings Joy

Spirituality: Thanksgiving Bringing Joy

Despite rain those that attended the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade enjoyed themselves. This made me think what is it that you enjoy about the parade. For me

1: The bands and the entertainers at center stage

2: The Ballons- My Favorite is still Kermit followed by Snoopy

3: The Broadcasters and The Gentlema that does the Voice Overs

There  is something magical about waking up early on Thanksgiving and watching the parade and then taking a moment to reflect of all the good that is happening. This year despite some financial challenges I am grateful for the opoortunity to spend time with my Dad and Gina. The energy of the parade and  the joy it creates is is amazing as it propels many of us to assume a position of gratitude and thus reminds us that when we come from gratitude we open ourselves up to receive and give. It is in being grateful on Thanksgiving and through out the year that we can create great things.

Snoppy is one of my favorite characters and somehow I get balanced and centered when I see him in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. On this special day of Thanksgiving may you find balance, joy, abundance, peace, love, and happiness in all that you do and may your light of spirituality shine bright on others.

Dr.  Wayne Dyer says when you change your thoughts you change your life. This is so true as we begin to change the way we look at things the things we look at change. Think about how you have expanded and where you are today and continue to grow. Reach down inside and reprogram your thoughts. Some steps to do this include:

1: Letting go of  painful feelings by writing forgiveness letters

2: Spending quiet time exploring your inner messages and responding accordingly

3: Reading Books

4: Utilizing Affirmations  

5: Doing activities that  bring joy into your life, such as using oracle cards, attending spiritualy centered events.

The following is a video I wanted to share with you to help you with your spiritual growth. This week let the divine in you be the shining light as you continue your spiritual growth and expanding your horizons.

       

It is when you begin to awaken that you truly begin to expand your horizons. One way to expand your horizons is through meditation.many ask how to meditate and there is no right or wrong way. I suggest finding a quiet place and getting comfortable and then quieting the mind and just breathing and allowing the thoughts to just flow in and out.

In answering your calling you will begin to expand your horizons and start to see great things happening in your life. By studying and learning more about your own spirituality you will begin to feel the expansion of your mind, body, soul connnection. As you expand you will begin to see changes and these changes will manifest into goodness happening around you.

Spiritual Awakening: More Tools To Expand Your Horizons

1: As mentioned earlier affirmations and quotes are good tools to expand your horizons

          

        

Songs often help to expand your horizons as they change the frequency that you vibrate at:


Many times it is simply doing a random act of senseless kindness that help to expand your horizons.

      

 

Sometimes I feel myself taking a walk and just appreciating the nature and realizing that everything is in divine order and thus I expand my horizons by begining to understand universal laws more and more.

     

It is often that we expand our horizons just by being and allowing things to flow and not reacting just appreciating what we are experienceing.
