Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to taking it all off! I mean every word…it’s time to get naked. It’s time to wipe the shame off your face, strip yourself of all your guards and walk with your arms wide open. It’s easy to pretend to be perfect, but how about just being real. Being you. So what’s your excuse? You doubt your own strength to overcome what’s present in your life, so you hide. Rather than knowing your faults and what you need to overcome, you hide behind them and drown. Why i...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to you declaring, “I got the juice.” Now there isn’t exactly a definition of what the “juice” is, but I like to think of it as your power, your potential, your dopeness! And ain’t nobody got what you got. Can’t nobody do what it is that you do, when you do what you do, you feel me? So affirm that! You know, I’m a firm believer of speaking life and speaking life over your life and I need you to know that you got the juice. Janelle Monae, she has this track...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to being a “cool kid.” When you were a child, you were the freest. If you wanted something, you went after it. You had an imagination out of this world! Something as simple as having a cape tied around your neck had you believing that you could fly. New sneakers made you feel you could run faster and jump higher. If you liked something you said it right away and if you didn’t you did as well. It was then that you were your most authentic self. At some poi...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to being hungry. Hungry for your dreams! I want you to be so hungry that it feels like your livelihood depends on it. Why you may ask? See, your dreams are what gives your life purpose. We have been put on this earth for a purpose. The heartbeat in your chest is purpose. The air in your lungs is purpose. The essence of you well that's called purpose. Oftentimes, we have the tendency to feel inadequate about pushing forward with our dreams. The first being...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to self-assurance. Self-assurance is having confidence in yourself and your abilities. Now, I find more common times than not, that many people are willing to count themselves out of an opportunity before even trying. Why is that? Is it because we are afraid of an opposition that is in front of us? I cannot stress it enough that in every OPP-osition, there’s an OPP-ortunity. However, the minute we choose not to try, we rob ourselves of success. Each time ...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to right now. Not last year, yesterday, tomorrow or next year. This moment is all that you have and all that you are. This is your moment to be, to do, to feel…whatever it is that you need. However, it's going to take courage, it takes heart and it definitely takes passion. You may be scared. You may be happy. You may even feel all alone. And the list can go on and on, but the point is this is your moment. And what are you doing with it? Like R&B croo...

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to faith. You got faith? Do you really know what faith is or what does faith mean to you? They say faith is the belief in things hoped for and the certainty of things not seen. It takes a lot of faith to go after your dreams. Because going after your dreams, you're not going to see exactly what it is that you're going after. But you know you gotta put one foot in front of the other. One foot in front of the other. What is it? Financial? You're trying to l...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to casting fear to the wayside. Fear is false evidence appearing real. It is the very state that paralyzes us. It strips us from our ability to move. It causes us to get "stuck." Stuck in the sense that it inhibits us from reaching our true potential. Learn to appreciate fear. Fear will guide you in the direction in where you need to grow. We’ve been conditioned to rebuke fear, however, I encourage you to run through fear and surpass it. In the song “Not ...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to focusing on your dreams. Life is filled with many distractions, but we must keep our eyes on the prize. Understand that distractions only bring about temporary satisfaction. Working at a job you despise for 10 years, because you were told you would a receive $30,000 bonus? Distraction. Staying in an abusive relationship because of the comfort of not feeling alone? Distraction. Or how about taking one more hit of a drug, because you want to release that...

You will conquer, you will make it through but the key is to not give up! You know in 2001, the lovely ladies of Destiny’s Child charted their hit single, “Survivor” with that same mindset. The trio belted, “I'm a survivor, I'm not gon’ give up, I'm not gon’ stop, I'm gon’ work harder. I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it, I will survive,...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to the winner that resides in you. The common misconception about a winner is that they never lose. A winner does lose, but each time they “lose” they see it as an opportunity to win again. I want you to win, but in order to win you must never give up. You have to go hard for what you want. As they say, “you gotta go hard in the paint.” When you go hard your "nays" will become "yays." In the hit single, “Fly” Rihanna belts, “I came to win, to fight, to co...
