Spiritual Awakening: Make Noise Live Out Loud!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Make Noise Live Out Loud!!!

 

 In experiencing a spiritual awakening we find ourselves more determined to make some noise and live out loud. It is said that the squeakiest wheel gets the grease. I encourage you to be that squeaky wheel and make some noise by living life big. As I was at my doctor’s office today (9/10/14) they were going to draw some blood for a blood test to check some levels for a new  medicine I am on well things didn’t go as planned as I got light headed and dizzy and knew exactly what needed to be done. I got up after they withdrew the needle and went into an exam room and laid down. I was given water and they placed a cold towel on my forehead and allowed me to just lie down. I laid down and closed my eyes and the white light that I have come accustomed to seeing during meditation passed over me and through my body vibrating life and giving me a message JDOGG you need to let this pass and go continue to live big. As I left the doctor’s office I began to think what ways can I live life big and inspire others? The answer was do a blog entry that will encourage everyone to go out and make a difference in the lives of others.  By helping others to live big your personal and professional life will be enhanced.  As I arrived at Starbuck’s I decided to make some noise and live out loud as I allowed people to go ahead of me and shared my smile as much as I could. I remembered that today was the day that the lord hath made so I will be glad and rejoice in it.

This is the day the Lord has made...In embracing this Psalm I have been able to declare that today will be a great day regardless of any obstacles that may come my way. I have declared that today I will make noise and live out loud so as to to show others that they are divine children of GOD and despite any trials or tribulations that they are facing they can work through them and there will be bigger and better things coming to them.  It is is living out loud that we are able to inspire others thus finding inspiration to carry on with our mission furthering our purpose. In finding your purpose and living out loud you will attract the people into your life who will propel you in your endeavors allowing you step into your power and unleashing your greatness.

Spiritual Awakening: Time For Gratitude And Gifts!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Time For Gratitude And Gifts!!!

This year Thanksgiving Day and Hanukah happen together which had me thinking about gratitude and gifts. I was thinking how can I be a proactive action taker and make this a time for gratitude and gifts.  I came up with the idea to wrap the gifts and insert thank you cards listing the reasons I am thankful for the people receiving the gifts. As that Thursday will be marked by moments dedicated to gratitude and the importance or recognizing and sharing the gifts we have been given.  Think about starting the day with a note of gratitude  and exchanging the notes as you watch The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, then at half-time of the football game exchange another gratitude note, then after dinner you light The Hanukah Candles and exchange the gifts. As I look back over the last year I realize that I have much to be grateful for like 2 brothers, 1 sister, and a sister in-law who really like me and lift me friends who continue to support me and encourage me, and a dad who has been there to help me work through some issues.

 Since awakening  to and embracing my spirituality I have learned that gratitude opens up many possibilities and when you express gratitude great things begin to happen. I have begun to thank everyone and wish them GOD Bless You and the results have been amazing. By expressing gratitude and giving gifts you open up a realm of possibilities to be able to receive.  Thank you to Coach Shantel Smith who taught me the value of being grateful and encouraged me to keep a gratitude journal. Since keeping the journal I have found that the day I write what I am grateful for are some of the most productive days that I have.

Spiritual Awakening: It All Begins With Gratitude

Spiritual Awakening: It All Begins With Gratitude

   About a year and a half ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Cat Wagman about her book Why Thank You. She shared tremendous insight that night on Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, heard at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio on monday from 7-8 PM EST. The nugget that I took away from the show that night was that success starts with gratitude.

   The idea that it all starts with gratitude was reinforced when Josh Hinds author of Live Big appeared on my show and we discussed one of his chapters of the book that was dedicated to gratitude.

Spiritual Awakening: Building MO, Keep On Keeping On

Spiritual Awakening: Building MO, Keep On Keeping On

 

Shawn Doyle and Lauren Anderson collobarate on a great book that inspired this blog entry, MO as it explores the lives of everyday people who make the best of their situation and continue to keep on keeping on.  As I interviewed Shawn on 9/3 and Lauren on 9/10 I began to realize that the key to personal development is to be grateful for what you do have and to keep on keeping on. I began to think about all those people who are disgruntled and complain about their circumstances and I feel ike bgrabbing them and saying hey wake up it is not the circumstances, the economy, or others it is you. I know I can not physically do that so I use this blog as an outlet to encourage others to build motivation in their lives and in the lives of others. I am reminded of The Zig Ziglar quote “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. ” It is in doing something motivational daily that we develop and grow.may times it is jus engaging someone you meet out in public just by saying hello.  I have often stated that I use a 3 foot rule, where if someone is within 3 feet of me I will talk to them. Thank you to Lisa Douglas Past President of The Florida Jaycees for first teaching me this technique.

       

Spiritual Awakening: What is MO?

What is MO?
Most people think that motivation for them is out of reach. They have an average job at an average company. This book is intended to give people hope by shining the light on people who are in average regular jobs but are amazing.
In the book we offer inspiring profiles of a Service Advisor, Hot Dog vendor, Airline Gate Agent, Seafood Market Owner, Construction worker, Seamstress, Fitness Trainer, and a Taxi driver who all have the magic MO! qualities.
These were people in ordinary jobs, but despite that fact, they decided NOT to be ordinary. They performed their jobs brilliantly, exceptionally, differently and exceeded everyone’s expectations of what that job “should” be every day. More importantly everyone around them knows it, sees it and acknowledges it.

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.
