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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to the power of the spoken word. You hear it time and time again. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. I believe it so much I have "life" tattooed in my mouth and I want to ensure that you understand how powerful your word is and how you must speak life. So, I was taking a listen to this track by Chika called "My Power," and in it she says, "my word is my power. Got to play the game to ascertain your power" because we know faith with our works is dear, right? She goes on to say, "Somewhere on the journey, we all bound to get tired. When life get lower, we get higher." They say, if you can look up, you can get up. And sometimes that means you've got to speak life over yourself, through yourself and to yourself. So what are you saying to yourself? Are you speak in life over your life? Catch it. All right. Well, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to your crown. It's your glory. It's whatever you hold and carry with pride. I was taking a listen to this track by Chika. It's entitled "Crown" and in it she says, "I'ma make it in the rain or shine. All about my money, Don't waste no time. Ain't nobody gonnna bring me down. I'm on an elevator. I'm on to something greater. Ain't nobody gon' take my crown." I want you to declare that for your life. But see, what you gotta understand is that you have to know your worth and what you deserve. Chika continues. "You deserve the world. And if no one else will say it, then I'll spill to the mic in the studio when I lay it. Now play it when you get discouraged. I know chasing the impossible takes some courage. And I can promise at the end of your journey when it's all said and done. Won't nothing feel much better than here, my nigga. You won." You can only fail if you don't quit. But see, that's why you got to know who you are and you got to know whose you are. Because you know you're worthy for your best life. And guess what? It's yours for the asking. So walk in your authority and go get it. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time.

Today's dose of vitamin D is dedicated to you stepping into your power. All that you say that you are. It's time to step into the light. Step into the light so that you can be seen. Now, here's the thing. When you step into the light because you are seen, you're more viable to be attacked. But you must remind yourself who you are and whose you are, and the ability and the affirmation and the courage you have over your life. I was listening to this track by Kevin Gates it's entitled "Big Life" and in it he says, "only positivity in this space we keepin' it sacred right now." It reminds me how I always say, "you have to treat certain people and things like you have a white outfit on." You can't let everything and everyone get too close. He continues on to say, "Calling the spirit of protection. I got steppers around me right now. I didn't go into my power. I ain't got to be careful. Not now." Who do you say that you are? Do you understand the power that you hold over your life? Huh? Do you understand the angels? Do you understand the force? Do you understand who and whose you are? I'm just wondering because I think it's time to boldly declare who it is that you say that you are. It's time for you to step into your power... lives waiting... tic toc. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to letting go of the things that do not serve you. You know what as I always say, if it doesn't serve you, it doesn't deserve you. I was taking the listen to Beyoncé's new track "Break My Soul" and I felt inspired. I felt invigorated I say that because in the track she states "Motivation. I'm looking for a new foundation, and I'm on that new vibration. I'm building my own foundation." What are you building? What life are you creating for yourself? You know, they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a new result. Are you happy with the life that you're living? If not, why haven't you changed it? Do you understand that you have the power to create the life that you want? In the track, Beyonce continues on. "If you don't seek it, you won't see it. If you don't think it, you won't be it." She continues. "Trying to fake it never makes it." So how about we keep it real, huh? How about we learn to live life on purpose and for a purpose? How about we learn to only serve things that deserve us? Huh? The time is now. Don't let it break your soul. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

They say, “all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed” and how “one rotten apple can spoil the bunch.” These are phrases we’ve heard over and over again when it comes to lessons about life, love and relationships. Dawn recalls a conversation with a couple experiencing a problem in their relationship. Their relationship is everything each of them could ever imagine, except a .5% character flaw. Dawn explains how the 95.5% of any situation can be derailed by that .5% we tend to overlook.    Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VitaminDDawnDaiTwitter: https://twitter.com/VitaminDDawnDaiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitaminddawndai/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vitaminddawndai/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBzQ7dI9sBbBK_OogN1xjiQFanbase: https://fanbase.app/vitaminddawndaiSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to having the ultimate confidence in yourself. Like so much that you just speak life. You just speak things over yourself because you just know. Not because you're waiting for somebody else to tell you, because you have this feeling inside of you and this ultimate confidence that you can make anything you want to happen. And I bet if you sit back and you look back, you realize that you've done it more times than not. I was taking a listen to this track on my workout today. It's entitled "Churchill Downs" by Jack Harlow, featuring Drake and in it Jack says, "Sometimes when I sit back, I really let it register. I did everything I said I would and said it first." Catch it. What's the last time you declared something over your life that you wanted? Did you go get it? You know they say... The more grateful you are, the more things you have to be grateful for. So give yourself a little grace and give yourself enough credit to know that you have done something and you've done a lot. And I think sometimes we work in denial because we are waiting for others to affirm us, for others to agree with us. But, you know, as Jack continued on to say, he says, "I mean, the world's in denial, but they all knew what I'm headed for." Hey, when you have that ultimate confidence in yourself, you enroll other people to believe it as well. Dreams don't work unless you do. Speak confidence over your life. All right? Well, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to how you movin'. What I mean by that is how you approach your life, situation and things. They say if you want to be better, you got to do better. So I challenge you to think how you moving about in your life. If you're trying to elevate and grow, I need you to do an inventory of who and what you have around you. I was listening to this track "Move Different" by Payroll Giovanni, and he says, "When you're chasing goals, you gon' move different when you level up, you gon' lose niggas." You know, I'm all about a pruning season. If it doesn't serve you, it doesn't deserve you. Don't go out there trying to be playing in the major leagues out there playing street ball. You're going to have to make a decision to live on purpose and for a purpose and that's going to require you to do different things, hang around different people and involve yourself with different situations. But again, the choice is up to you because if you're ever going to realize or figure out what it is that you truly desire and want out of life it's going to be based on your choices. So how you movin'? All right. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to you putting in that work I think oftentimes we think things happen overnight. We think they fall in our laps. Heck, we think that we owe our right to have something. But I challenge you to realize that dreams don't work unless you do. So that means you're going to have to put in that work. I was taking a listen to this track entitled "Put in Work" by Swoope. And in it, he says, "All that talking is useless. Don't need no excuses. Short cuts for the foolish. This only way to do this." Put in work. You ready to work? You know, putting down work is so important because now you got a sense of the value of it. You know, how to hold on. You know when to let go. Ain't no shortcuts to this thing called life. To success. Abundance. You got to put in that work. I challenge you. Put in that work so that you can be better and do better. All right. OK, Well, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to motivation. Yeah. That thing that's gonna get you started so you can get doin whatever it is that you want to do. We all can use it, right? In fact, I think that we all need it. I was listening to this track by Spiritual Tony it's entitled "Motivation," and in it, he says, "This that go and get it with no hesitation. This that never quit. Start that elevation." Look, I don't know where you're at or what you're going through. But if you can look up, you can get up. He continues on, "This that process. This that inner making." Sometimes you got gotta break in order to get through. That's why they call it a breakthrough. Just like a frequency you go down so that you can get up. Spiritual Tony continues, "This that opportunity. Meet in preparation." They say you don't have to get ready if you stay ready, stay ready for your dreams. Stay ready for your best life. Find the motivation wherever you can. Just grab it. Hold on to it. Pursue it and nurture it. It's yours for the asking. All right. That's it. For your dose of "Vitamin D."

When was the last time you took inventory of the “things” you are holding onto? At some point, we have to make the decision to “let go.” Let go of the things that no longer serve us and make space for the things that do. Dive in as Dawn talks her experience with unplugging from social media, losing her social media account permanently and the freedom that comes along with it.   Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VitaminDDawnDaiTwitter: https://twitter.com/VitaminDDawnDaiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitaminddawndai/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vitaminddawndai/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBzQ7dI9sBbBK_OogN1xjiQFanbase: https://fanbase.app/vitaminddawndaiSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to being free. What does free look like to you? Truly, when I think of freedom, I think of peace. You can breathe. You can relax. There's joy. I was listening to this track by Perri Jones it's entitled "Free" and in it she belts, "I'm free. I'm human, but I'm comfortable with me. I'm capable. Got everything I need. I'm focused on living out my dreams." Yes. Yeah, that's perhaps that's what freedom is. That's what freedom looks like. And, you know, she goes on to say, "I don't need validation to tell me who I am. I have lived the situation and I have learned to understand. There's no such thing as limitations. I exceed expectations. I have learned to love me." What!? That's what you talk about being free. Perhaps that's what freedom is. Freedom is making that space for you to exist, to be everything that you are. Nothing more, nothing less. But just to be you. I implore you to be free. All right, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to change. Change... it's uncomfortable, yet it is inevitable. As long as we are living, as long as we are existing. As long as we are being, we have to expect change. Change lets us know that we're alive. Change is good and change is uncomfortable. Heck, we even see the change between a caterpillar and a butterfly. That's when the butterfly takes flight. So I have to ask you, are you ready for change? I was listening to this track entitled "Just a Cloud Away" by Pharrell Williams, and in it he talks about change. He talks about how things have a boomerang effect because things aren't meant to stay the same. But it's like we shouldn't fret, right? Because we've been here before. We have survived 100% of our worst days. So why are we trippin' now? He quotes "everything is cyclical. What goes around does come back around, baby. Everything boomerangs. What goes up must come down." Just like the energy. Just like the vibe. The exact makeup of you. So why would your life be any different? Celebrate your wins as much as the losses. When you can look up, you can get down. And when you are down, guess what? You know that you're getting back up. Accept the change. Be the change. See the change? All right. That's it.
