Have you had or do you have obstacles to overcome?

How and the heck can you get past this thing that seems like it has changed the direction of your life?

It seems like a futile situation because it’s out of your control.

Well guess what; the only thing we can control is our own alignment.

Controlling your own alignment starts as soon as you wake up. You have to be intentional about the type of day you want to have, and focus yourself into feeling good so that energy and momentum can carry you throughout the day.

On today’s episode of Waking Up Right with Ivory, I talk with a very talented, charismatic person driven to be the best version of himself. 

Val Chmerkovskiy is a Ukrainian-American professional dancer, best known for his appearances on Dancing with The Stars, which he won twice. Val is a two-time World Latin Dance Champion and 14-time U.S. National Latin Dance champion. Val has always been very committed to becoming the best version of himself, and he opens up on how he became the person he is today, who is driven to have continued success. 

So get ready to be inspired, and get inside the mind and heart of this extremely talented awesome man.

Some Questions I ask:

What are some tools that you use to grow Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually?

How was it when you first came to America from the Ukraine?

Why are you so driven to be successful?

What are some of your daily routines when you first wake up?

If we are sitting here in the same seat a year from now celebrating what a great year it’s been for you. What did you achieve?

How did you begin rapping? Do you ever want to pursue that career?
