Vitamin D with Dawn Dai

You know, they say, "you can't fail if you don't quit." Imagine that. If you don't quit, you can't fail. So the key is to keep going. If you can not fail, then why would you ever quit? I don't know. I wonder sometimes. But I came across this track with Jeezy and the name of the track is "Keep Going"

And in it he's just chanting, "Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Rwrah! Agh! Agh!" I'm imagining myself at the gym because I'm telling you, when the weights are hitting, when I'm on that treadmill, the mother freaking Assault [Runner Pro]. I tell Lateef, I said, "I feel like this thing is trying to "assault" on my life." The "mode" is to "keep going."

So I don't know what it is that you're going after. I don't know what it is that you want. I don't know what it is that you desire. I just know that you're going after something. And I want to encourage you. "Keep going! Keep going!" And in fact, you know, Jeezy, he has some ad lib in there and he says, "Talk your motherf*cking talk. Keep on moving on these motherf*cking suckers." You ready?! Let's go!

In fact, check out William Ernest Henley as he states in "Invictus." "My head is bloody, but unbowed." Why? Because "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." "Keep going! Keep going!"

All right. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset." Keep going! Keep going!

"To be loved. Oh, what a feeling to be loved..." Man... love... I feel like a lot of us are looking for love, seeking love, wanting love, but I think sometimes we look in the wrong places. And, I mean, it's not anybody's fault. It's just like, um... you got to know love to seek love. And I was listening to Lizzo, you know, she got her new track "2 Be Loved" and she was talking about how she did the work and it didn't work and how, you know, just being "alone."

But she said gosh darn it, now I know my worth and it's not always about, you know, somebody disrespecting you and doing you wrong. It's just about knowing what it is that you want and being able to identify, because sometimes we can have good things, but it's not worth our time and energy. In the song Lizzo says, "How am I supposed to love somebody else when I don't like myself? Guess I better learn to like this."

You got to learn to like who you are to learn how to love who you are so you can know what it is that you want and what you desire. What works great for you? Acknowledging yourself and making room for yourself. Yeah. That's what it means to be loved. Oh, what a feeling to be loved.

All right. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to you recognizing the superstar that you are. Hmm? I think half the time we don't recognize our value simply because we lack confidence. And what is confidence? Confidence is simply knowing. Well, now it's time for you to know who you are. You know, I was taking a listen to Beyonce's new album "Renaissance" and in it her track "Alien Superstar" Beyoncé belts "I'm one on one. I'm number one. I'm the only one. Don't even waste your time trying to compete with me. No one in this world can think like me."

Did you catch it? Nobody can do what it is that you do when you do how you do what you do when you do. I don't care if you tell them all that you do. Why? Because guess what? They are not you. And I need you to further recognize that and realize that and walk into your power and realize that you are the source of your power. There is nothing else that you need from anyone else or anything but simply to be you. Beyoncé continues on. "Category sexy Bitch. I'm the bar. Alien superstar."

Imagine you just me and you makes you a superstar that's out of this world tattoo. She goes on to say, "We just reaching out to the solar system. We flying over bullshit." We're not entertaining the foolishness. We're not entertaining the negative thoughts. We are shutting them down because guess what? You are great. You are amazing just as you are.

In fact, you are an alien superstar. Okay?! All right.

That's it. For your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, alien superstar, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of vitamin D is dedicated to you focusing on your future. Because that's where we're headed. That's where we're going. And I find that half the time we have trouble with finding out where we're going because we're so busy looking behind us. So focused on every mistake that we've made, thinking about what we should have done, could have done, or would have done better.

Why I want to challenge you to do something different. I was taking a listen to this track by Kendrick Lamar. It's entitled "Die Hard." And in it he says, "I got some regrets. Yea, yea, yea, yea. But my past won't keep me from my best." Don't let your past keep you from your best. You better stop looking behind you because you're not going that way.

You know, that's why they say the windshield is larger than the rearview mirror, because sometimes you just need to get a little glimpse. But that's not where your focus is going to be. So where are you focusing on your life? I need you to focus on where you're headed. Exceedingly, abundantly, is waiting for you. Let's go get it.

All right. Well, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to knowing your worth. How much do you value yourself? Take a look around. What do you see? Are you in an unhealthy relationship? Do you have a job that you despise? Do you surround yourself with negative people? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then perhaps it’s time for you to do an appraisal on your life.

How much are you worth? It’s a beautiful thing when you know your worth. When you know your worth, you do things that you love. You involve yourself in healthy relationships. You are clear that if something doesn’t serve you then it doesn't deserve you. No explanations or apologies needed.

We sell ourselves short when we comprise our well-being. Take note from the hit single, “Price Tag” by Jessie J as she belts, “it’s not about the money…forget about the price tag.” Yep, it’s about how much you value your life. It’s time to get off the “clearance rack” and get behind the glass where the valuables are kept.

That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow me on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset!"

Today’s dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to the power of discernment. In life, we have distractions all around us. However, it is up to us to listen to the voice within. Some like to call it instinct, others like to call it gut, some even may like to call it God. Whichever name you choose, just know it exists inside each and every one of us. However, not everyone recognizes it. Why is that? Well, it’s because we are not one with ourselves. We haven’t taken the time to sit down with ourselves, to learn ourselves and to become at peace with ourselves.

I know when I was a little kid, I could recognize the jingle of my mama's keys. No matter who was around with keys, I knew the sound of my mama’s keys. So as it relates to you. Do you know the sound of your inner voice? Do you recognize the voice that speaks to you in your most difficult hour? The same voice that tells you what is right, when all you can see what is wrong. Yes, that voice. It may not seem to make sense on the surface, but deep down inside it’s speaking to you. I want you to tap into that voice. Get familiar with yourself.

In the hit single, “The Voice Within,” Christina Aguilera urges you to “look inside yourself, like your oldest friend [and] trust the voice within.” Yes, trust that voice. It will guide and lead you down the path of endless opportunities and abundance. No more looking outside and entertaining everyone else's life and their distractions. Take the time to listen to yourself and just trust the voice within.

That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to elevation. Yup, it's time to go higher. Now, I need you to take an assessment and look around. Take a look around at where you are. Now, I want you to focus on where it is that you're trying to go. Understand... to much is given much is required. And see, if you're asking for more, that is going to require more of you.

So what does that look like? I was taking a listen to this track entitled "Elevate" and the artist's name is Ye$haYahu and in he states "I got to elevate. I've been praying to God for a better way. I concentrate on my goals and I meditate, make sacrifices, put time in. I dedicate. I got to elevate." What you trying to do?

I'm trying to go higher. Better yet, I am going higher. And with that being said, that means it's going to require focus. It's going to require to make the vision and make it plain. It's going to require a certain discipline. And with that discipline, it's going to require sacrifices. So I have to ask you, are you ready to put in the work?

Better yet, are you ready to "elevate"?

That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you and your greatest asset."
