Spiritual Awakening: Turn The Page

Spiritual Awakening: Turn The Page!!!

The last month has been filled with many trials and tribulations as I have faced many challenges in my life. I have had many days where it has seemed that I lost my mojo as many of the fundraisers that I had been promoting like POINTS FOR THE CURE BASKETBALL EDITION   and SEND CANCER TO THE PENALTY BOX  didn’t garner and donations. I began to think what am I doing wrong that people are not responding to my asking for support and then it hit me that it was time to turn the page. As I was shelling out $1093 to fix my car yesterday (6/14/2023) it hit me that instead of being upset that I needed to spend this money I should be grateful that I had the money to fix my car and that I need to turn the page and get back in touch with my inner divinity. I share my experience with you so that you can see that you are not the only one that may need to turn the page and make changes in the way you are doing things. In today’s world where we can get so caught up in issues that do not serve us we need to turn the page and understand that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. As I arrived home yesterday I looked at one of the walls in my condo and saw The Serenity Prayer that has been on that wall for many years and it served as a reminder to get back on track to control the things I can and to accept the things I can’t and to have the wisdom to know the difference. I was also reminded that no one is served by excuse making and now is the time to become and action take and to plan your work and work your plan. As I sat down to write this blog I began to realize  that if you wallow in the negative you create blockages that stop you from reaching your full potential. The question now is how do you turn the page and get back on a positive path that will enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life? The answer is simple remind yourself that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper so that you can prosper others. Now is your time to turn the page by consulting with GOD, Jesus, Spirit, Source, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels that are watching over you and know the power that you possess and want you to step into that power and to become a difference maker. Now is your time to turn the page and to write your own story.

As today unfolds and you continue to write your story and turn the page remember that much of your greatness is yet to be written. Make today the best it can be as yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. Remember that there are two types of people in the world the action takers and the excuse makers which one will be you be as you turn the page. How will you write your story today? What will you do today to move in a positive direction of your goals? When writing your story remember that you have the ability to change your circumstances by turning the page.

In writing your story turn to GOD and allow GOD to guide you so that you move forward in your quest to grow so that you can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life and turn the page so as to continue writing your story. We can not go back and rewrite what ahs happened but we can learn fort he past so we can turn the page and live in the present while planning for the future. Do not let that which you can not control hold you back. Look deep inside your self and make the mind, body, soul connection that will allow you to turn the page. Don’t allow some negative outcomes to stagnate you focus on the good things that are happening and assume an attitude of gratitude. When things seem dark remember their is a light inside of you that needs to be turned on so that you can shine bright and illuminate the world. If things seem really bleak and your hope is lost let go and let GOD as GOD always provides.

Now is your time  to turn the page and realize that the plans that GOD has for your are far greater than your plan.

Spiritual Awakening: Hope Prevails!!!

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!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Spread The Sunshine!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Spread The Sunshine!!!

As I was emceeing The Florida Initiative For Suicide Prevention 5k Hugs For Hope  event today (5/9/2015) I saw a shirt worn by one of the teams that read Spread The Sunshine. This became the theme as I announced the runners finishing, which then turned into doing shout outs as people would tell me the runner’s name and I would build them up and encourage them. I then had the opportunity to deliver a message of HOPE before giving out the medals. After handing out the medals and waiting for my payment many people came up to me and complimented me  on how great my message was. One woman told me that my comment about the two things that matter in life  are if you lived your life with joy and if your life brought joy to others moved her to tears. As I arrived at Starbucks I put out my Oracle Cards to see if it would stimulate conversation and help to make connections thus creating a positive shift and encouraging people to spread the sunshine.

Inside all of us is a divine energy that allows us to spread our inner sunshine and thus we can light up the world and make an effective change. As I emceed the event today I challenged the crowd to meet someone they didn’t already know. I then went to Starbucks and put this into practice and I met a record producer and we had a great conversation and he told me to give him a call. When you reach out and spread your sunshine you put out an energy that radiates to others to let them spread their sunshine. In making the mantra I will spread my sunshine into a daily anthem you will begin to see opportunities present themselves that will allow you to grow personally and professionally.  It is when we use the lessons of the ascended masters to awaken spiritually that we are able to tap into our inner divine sunshine and answer our calling by taking action to be of service and value to others. In committing to spread the sunshine you put yourself  in a position to come alive and help the community. In helping the community you begin to help yourself.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Spread The Sunshine!!!

 

Quotes and bible verses are excellent tools to help in spreading the sunshine.
