Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you may be. Guess what you who are tuned answer the Vitamin D with Dawn Day Podcast. And if you haven't realized it yet, I'm your host, Dawn Day, here to get you excited about your life so that you can live life on purpose and for purpose. So welcome back now. If this is your first time tuning in, welcome, it's so glad to have you. Vitamin D. Well, it's a pun off

my name. You know how you get vitamin D from the sun, right, Well, my name, Dawn is the sun. So I'm here to shed light and see your life. Now why this podcast is all about inspiring and motivating and all that good stuff. I want to be clear when we're talking about Vitamin D and we're talking about shedding light, that shedding light and the good and the bad, because if we want to be better and we want to do better, we have to have the ability to

see better. Can you take it? I don't know about you, but I want to be well aware about what's happening in my life. So that's what this podcast is about. And you realize in this podcast and it's this journey that we're on because that's all about how you are your greatest asset, you know, when we think about it. You know, I called myself as the life bank account expert because if we understand money right, you know what you're putting in, you know what you're taking out, and

it's the same goals with your life. If you are your greatest asset in your life bank account, right, you ought to be cognizant of what's going in and what's going out. Now here's the thing. Things are constantly going in and out. But it's all about failing the balance. And that's what this podcast is. It's about finding the balance. It's just like the end of Yang. They just swoop in with in and out with each other. And that's

what we want to do here. And so we do this with inspirational insights and conversations with celebrities and everyday people like you and me. So it's real time. Ain't no sugarcoatinists, which I do want to walk you to walk away as a sweeter person, a better person because you chose it. And that's the power of life. When you can walk into situation and you choose, there's power and choice. And when we think about life and how

it goes. We have the ability to choose what we wear, who we want to be in a relationship with what we want to look like, what we want to do, whether or not we decide to go after our dreams. You choose the life you live. Do you want it to be great? Is it great? Is it everything that you you thought it would be or that you wanted with being? Well, that's what i want to delve into

a little bit more. I'm talking about what do you want? So, without further ado, it's time for your dose a vitamin day, your vitamin right with me and get excited about your lives. What do you want? That's the question of a lifetime when you really think about it, figuring out what we want out of life, having the vision, having the guts, the glory to see it through. We realized too that in answering this question, it lies within our purpose, our passion,

and our peace. And while many of us ask the question of what do you want on the flip side, there are tons more of us who don't have the I don't wanna say, guts, don't want to say balls, the gumption to actually find the answer. And here's the thing too, When we talk about living our life on

purpose and for a purpose. When we talk about being our best selves and when we're talking about living our best life, you have to be on a mission to answer this question because that's what's gonna make it great fulfilling what it is that you want? See and you realize that you start to step into the realms of the once once you got your needs taken care of, the needs are the what to survive them all Like you need ocs and and you need water, you need peace.

Some people don't think they do, but halfway losing their minds. But what do you want? And what does it look like?

It's so interesting in life? I think that um especially now everybody keeps talking about social media and how it distracts us, is that I don't think we're in a realm of realizing how impactful it is searching for somebody else's validation about who we are and what it is that we want all of a sudden, our credibility of while we're acting, while we're talking, while we're dressing, while we do what it is that we do is to be affirmed by someone else, to fit into someone else's mold.

But you realize that no one else can wear your shoes. But then the question becomes does your shoe fit? I say that because when we step out on the outside realm of asking other people's permission or getting a validation for someone else, it's almost like we're going to rent out shoes. And if we're talking about living our life, living on purpose and for purpose, and going after our dreams, it's going to require us to tighten up our own bootstraps.

It's going to require us to call out our own stuff. You know. I I can use my own story for as long as forever, of my dealings with my weight, of just the ups and downs, And it all goes back to what do you want? Because if we have the ability to create the life that we want, to speak life over our life, if ask and you shall receive, write the vision and make it plain EANs upon eon. Some of our favorite celebrities, some of our most notable people around the world, have said that they have created

the life that they want. What you best believe, whatever it is that you're asking for, you need to align yourself on that path to receive it. Now. It doesn't mean putting on someone else's shoes, but it's understanding that you have to go through your due process. That's the journey. Remember, the journey is the experience, and the experience is the journey. So again, what do you want me talking about weight?

I can say all day about I want to lose weight, but if I'm not eating in accordance to what it takes to lose weight, do you really want to and get this? Then we get in frusted. We get in this motive being so frustrated about why isn't it because it's not what you want? Because what you want, what you really want? Now, I'm gonna need you to put your gangster on, you know, straighten up a little bit. Set up when I'm about to say that, straighten your hair,

cracking neck, sep some water or something. What you want you get? Tell me something that you truly wanted that you did not get, that you had every ability to work for it. Now, because I'm not talking about making somebody else fall in love with you, I'm not saying anything that's outwardly. I'm saying, when you channeling your power, what is it that you made up your mind, truly made up your mind that you wanted that you did

not get. You're thinking too long. If you if you didn't name it off the bat, you didn't really want it because of it came immediately. So when I ask you what do you want? What do you want? Because you can have it, you'll also realize what you want and what's for you does not fleep from you. Nobody can take it. It can't be depleted because consistently created, you created. When you find your peace, you created when you find your passion, you create it when you find

your purpose. The three peace in life purpose passion, peace, purpose, passion, peace, p cute. Catch it and that purpose passion, peace, that's where the best life besides because with your purpose, you know what you're going after, the thing that you said that you want, that that becames that purpose. And when you're living out that purpose, you understand that you start to do it with passion. That's how you know if

you really want it. And it sounds easier said than done, but you literally get lost and whatever it is that you do, you find yourself consistently thinking about it, you find it. It's your way of life. You find it that it gives you life more than what you could have re imagined. I'm not saying that it's not gonna be hard. I can say the same to me as I'm working out. Yes, I want to be fit, but does it is it not hard to be working out and shaking and sweating and I can't catch my breath.

It's hard, but I know what I want. And so when I look at the time and I look at the transformation that I'm making in my life, I realized that I chose Dawn. Are you going to choose you? What do you want? You find that when you start to do it with passion, it's part of your everyday life. It's it's kind of like that sluid thing. If it's not Steph Curry and Lebron James on the court constantly with the dribble, constantly with the j Is that you're taking a note of Serena Williams and you got their

tennis racket? Is that you out there, Missy Copeland up on there doing all your ballerina moves as it's Simone Biles? How are you, Shakari Richardson? What do you want? Here's another thing I want to say too. When you find what that passion as you find that in doing it with so much exertion of yourself that it gets you to a level of peace. Oh my gosh, you know I can say what myself I think of how I'm like, I'm gonna be on the covers of magazines. The world

would know my name. And I value that a lot because that's what I want. That's what I feel like I'm destined to do, to inspire the masses, to inspire people to be better, to get excited. I aspired to inspire folks to just be in a reflection in a bundle of light. But when I find them, I find that the aspiration that is that that's what gives me my peace, and that it's figuring it out. It's the thing where even when it's so uncomfortable, I realized that

it is my exhale, it is my reason why. That's why I have to ask you what do you want? Because if it isn't given fulfilling your purpose and your passion and your peace, do you really want it? Or is that something else that somebody else said that you had to do. Somebody else said that you had to acquire that's what somebody else said. You had to talk like, I had to walk like what you had to look like? Because when it's you. What's fluent leave. There is no

blueprint of how you should be. You just gotta do. You bull what do you want? Well, it's going to require you to get uncomfortable because if you had it, you probably wouldn't want it. Because you want it, that means you don't have it yet. Now, in order to get to the process of not having to having you're gonna have to do some things that you've never done before. Hence, that's why you want it, because you don't have it, and if you were already doing it, you would already

have it. So in the process of getting reading and doing these things, you're going to get uncomfortable. It's going to get crazy. You may even cry. Even myself of saying, how I'm gonna inspire. I got a lot of work that I'm doing myself with my family, even cleaning up, priding myself on communication and seeing how the communication is breaking, how it's feeling. But I'm not giving up. That's the difference of when you say what do you want? What

are you not willing to give up on? That's how you know that you want it because you don't stop until you get it. Now, here's the thing we get in this situation of saying that we want something and you really don't want it. What do I mean by that? Well, hey, let's just say me for example, Hey, I want to lose weight. I want to want to New York City Marathon marathon. I want to be in the best shop in my life. But if I'm not working out, if I'm not eating correctly, I don't want it because I'm

not aligning myself. What it is that I declare? What do I want? So I have to ask you what do you want for your life? What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? And guess what? You can't ask anyone else because it's yours and you have the ability to create that. So what do you want? And when are you gonna stop lying to yourself about what it is that you want? Because if you want it, you can have it. If you want it, you go get it if you want it.

If you're gonna stop making the excuses if you want it, you're gonna get tired of what you think that it should look like. Create it. You said you can speak life over yourself. You said that you could believe in yourself. So when you're gonna do it. We're gonna stop telling yourself the lie. When are you gonna make the decision to stop disappointing yourself because you keep lying. You're lying because you said you want it, then you don't. You

don't want it because you're not doing it. And I'm getting emotional because I think about so many people that's anyone their dreams. They didn't see any more relationships and you don't because you're not doing it. And it's hurtful because if you are your greatest asset, and if you are special, and if you aren't worthy, and if you're listening to the self, you haven't told me that you believe in yourself. And you listen to this is telling me that you believe in my dreams. And if you're

signing up for this, I take my dreams seriously. So what do you want? Are you gonna get it? Because we're gonna die. And if you need to open up your mouth and you need to be wonderable, if you need to say sorry, if you need to work out, if you need to go to extra mouth, then are you doing it? Because when the clock stops, it can't restart.

When it's over, is done. When it's a period. It's a period, So don't mistake the but don't mistake the comma for what it is that you want out of your life, because it's not over until it's over, until you can't walk, until you can't talk, until you can't breathe. So just do it. Go after it. Stop making the excuses. You can look in the books, and you can look on TV. You can ask your friend whomever is doing

what it is that they want. Whoever has set theirselves on a goal and has achieved it, they decided that they want it. And I need you to make a decision because it's one of the most pertinent decisions you could ever make in your life about what it is that you want. You know that you decide about what it is that you want out of life and you having the gumption to pursue it. Do you know how many other people's lives that you saved? Do you know

how many rain days you make the sunshine? Do you know that somebody is looking at you and saying that I'm possible? Heck, did you even know that you're doing what it is that you said you want to do might even save your life? What do you want? Purpose? Passion, peace, see that abundance, that money. That not the right all that's gonna come. But I need you to make the decision. Are you gonna be bold enough? What UPO? What it is? What's good? What do you want? I think you can

have anything you want out of life. I'm going after it. When they say don't believe me, just watch. Remember your dreams don't work unless you do. It's time to get the stuff done. What I said for your dogs, Vitamin D, I want your dreams for you as bad as you want them. Don't lie to yourself and say you want it when you don't.
