Vitamin D with Dawn Dai

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to surviving. It’s one thing to know that you are alive and to live, but what does it mean to survive? You have lived long enough to know that hardships will come. Some that may have shook you to your core, others that may have you viewed as misunderstood and of course those that have caused you to fall flat on your face. However, your foundation remains underneath you. It’s where your values have kept you grounded, where your happiness stems from and where your faith is rooted. So why do you worry? Why do you doubt your potential? Why are laying dormant on your purpose?

Save your excuses.

In the midst of chaos, you must remind yourself of these three words, “I will survive.” Declaring you will survive is simply stating that despite danger or hardship, you will make it through. Remind yourself that you weren’t built to fail, doubt what is that you want or who you are meant to be. Take note from legendary disco diva, Gloria Gaynor in her hit single, “I Will Survive” and speak to your hardships and say, “Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I! I will survive!” Hey!

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to the simple things. Have you noticed that we as beings have the tendency to complicate things in life? Whether it be our emotions, our relationships, our dreams and etc. Why do we get in our own way? I can’t help but to think of Lauryn Hill because “it’s like it could all be so simple, but [we] rather make it hard.” Why? Perhaps it’s fear, lack of trust and love that we have for ourselves? See, when you possess confidence, it reflects the love you have for yourself. When you trust the process of life, there is an understanding that everything happens for a reason and for the betterment of you. Therefore there is nothing to fear. Now in order to get to this realm of possibility, you must free yourself!

It’s time to step out of the confinement that we’ve placed ourselves in. What does your “prison” look like? Is it insecurity and self-doubt? Is it not pursuing your wildest dreams because people have told you you would never make it? Is it staying in a dead-end relationship because it’s all that you know? Is it a fear of being who you truly are because you don’t want to be judged? Tell me, what does it look like for you?

The best advice I could give is by echoing the sentiments of R&B crooner Miguel in his hit single, “Simple Things” and “just be a tough act to follow, you know a free spirit, with a wild heart,” and there is no telling how far you will go. See, it’s just that simple.

Now go live your life, for YOU!!!

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to flying. Not really, but figuratively with your dreams, ambitions, relationships and all things that are important to you. The key to living an abundant life is to rise above situations. Well, what happens when the next level is too high? You fly…

Living an abundant life is all about being limitless. There is no cap, glass ceiling and/or finish line when living without limits. You can go as far as you are willing to take yourself. Abundance is the realm that exceeds the norm. It’s extraordinary. It’s filled with infinite possibilities, where the impossible becomes possible! Are you living an abundant life?

Take a minute to breathe. What does your life stand for? Fear? Insecurity? Monotony? Jealousy? Who am I kidding? Life can be scary, right? Regardless, you must fly above any self-doubt that you may have. Just like country singers Maddie & Tae stated in their hit single, “Fly,” the only way to rise is to “keep on climbing, though the ground might shake. Just keep on reaching though the limb might break…’Cause you can learn to fly on the way down.”

So what you say? Are you ready to fly?

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to getting it done. What is it that you need to get done? Are you working on your dreams? Your relationships? Are you perhaps looking for a promotion? Getting a song done? Whatever it is, I want you to focus on simply completing the task. I feel like oftentimes we get in our own way. We're so in the mode of planning. Thinking of how it should be done, how it could be done, rather than focusing on the goal and the goal is just to be done. And listening in to this new track by DJ Khaled featuring Post Malone and Meg Thee Stallion. They say, "I'm trying to win, don't care how I do it, just know that I did it."

Can we all just get to the point of just getting it done? Whether than having to be in the perfect shape, you know, to perhaps go ahead and model. Whether having to have the accolades to go ahead and speak in front of a large crowd. Whatever it is, I want to let you know that you're prepared and you have everything you need to get it done because guess what? The dream came to you. Now the one thing that I would recommend that you focus on is just to stay down. Stay down. Because often-times just like with the tree, the roots grow down so that the tree can grow up. Just like your dreams. You gotta be so concealed in the faith of just getting rooted and staying focused that you're gonna look up and everything that you want is gonna appear. But if we focus on just looking around rather than going deep into the ground, we realize that we get lost.

So just like they say, "Stay ten toes down, never changed up. I did it I did it." Focus on getting it done. Not how you did it, whether you're prepared, it's just about completing the task, alright? I believe in you. The only thing next is for you to believe in you. Can you dig it?

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

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to self-awareness. Do you know who you are? What you stand for? What you believe in? Do you have any idea how much greatness is inside of you? If so, there’s no need to fear. No need to doubt. No need to play small in a world that you are meant to play big in.

There is something special about having an “over”-standing of who you are. Knowing who you are mutes the “noise” in your life. It sweeps out the toxic people, eliminates the unnecessary BS and exhibits the most profound love of self that is unmatched.

It’s time to wake up! Take some time with yourself and get to know who you are. Just like Lauryn Hill stated in her hit single, “Doo-Wop,” life is just a game so, “how you gonna win when you ain't right within?” Come again. It’s time to get right. Find out who is within.

You won’t make it out of life alive, so win while you still can!

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to speaking life. What is your outlook on life? Is your cup half-full or half-empty? Your outlook on life affects your health, your family, your relationships, your career and so forth. Understand that you have the ability to create the life that you want. With the power of your tongue and the courage of your lips, anything is possible!

You know, that's why I have "life" tattooed in my mouth. Speak life and turn the “impossible” into "I'm possible." Speak it to the point where you can envision it. Then allow it to manifest. That is the SECRET! I know, sometimes it gets hard, right?. But get like to Tupac and realize “if you can make it through the night there's a brighter day. Everything will be alright if ya hold on. It's a struggle every day, gotta roll on.”

Remember, life and death are in the power of the tongue. You may not always physically see the light, but you can create it within. Choose to speak life and keep on keepin’ on!

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to your well-being. When was the last time you faced a challenge? How did it make you feel? Scared? Lost? Upset? Doubtful? I don’t know about you, but I face challenges every single day. Just look around, there are challenges that you must overcome each day of your life. Sometimes they come in the form of loved ones, decisions, job opportunities, relationships and sometimes they reside right there inside of you. You must keep in mind that challenges aren’t meant to “take you out” and are certainly not meant to “break you.” So, don’t allow them to. Challenges are meant to help you grow, succeed and believe. So how do you overcome a challenge?

Find someone or something to believe in, even if that someone is…YOU! Everything in life is working for your greater good. It doesn’t mean it will always feel good, but it is definitely working for the betterment of you. It’s not about the challenge that faces you, but how you face the challenge. Take note from Compton rapper, Kendrick Lamar in his hit single, “Alright” that everyday is an upward battle so acknowledge the fact that “ We been hurt, been down before. When our pride was low, looking at the world like ‘Where do we go?’” and declare “Alls my life I had to fight…but if God got us, then we gon’ be alright!”

It’s not over until it’s alright and it’s not alright until it’s over.

“Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon’ be alright!”
