Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️#119

Today is April 24, 2023
A little encouragement in a world of hate, Let's go!
Today's word of the day
"Honorable"
//: worthy of honor;
//: Honorable is word that expresses esteem or regard
Quote of the day
" He has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct through it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so." - Walter Lippmann
When did being an honorable person no longer become a thing to strive for? Is honor dead?
Being honorable is not only about what you do, but also about how you act.  Bein honorable means showing integrity.  It also means accepting responsibility for your actions and not blaming others or the solor system for YOUR actions.
Being honorable means keeping your promises, honoring your word, respecting others, and striving to live by a set of values.  All these things should be part of every person's makeup, but is it anymore?
An honorable person isn't perfect, but they try hard not to do wrong.  They might make mistakes from time to time, but they learn from them and don't keep repeating them.  They do not pretend to be something, or someone, hiding behind a facade, that they are really not.
They might have weaknesses too, but they work hard to overcome them.
Latest, an honorable person is someone who lives by a set a values and tries their best to be good person, doing what is right even when no one is watching.
So, stop being a follower and start a trend...start keeping your word!

Start your day with a little sugar!😁❤️💕#118

Today is Friday, April 21st.
I start my podcast with a positive, encouraging word and quote of the day.  A little encouragement in a world of hate, Let's go!
Word of the day:
"Courgeous"
//: not deterred by danger or pain; brave;
Quoted of the day:
"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the silent voice at the end of the day that says 'I will try again tomorrow.'" - Mary Anne Radmacher
and 
"I'm thankful for my struggles because without it I wouldn't have stumbled across my strength!" - Alex Elle
We ALL show courage on a daily basis in the lives of those we love & matter to us.  When we feel deeply passionate about something, we find courage easy.  For example we find superhuman strength to portect our children.  So why don't we have the same passion and courage for ourselves?? Trusting that watever our circumstances are right now (and regardless of weather we feel courageous), we can find courage if we just look beyond the surface.
We are all courageous, I am no different than you.  I was asked one day by a friend, "How do you do it? I just don't have your courage." I thought about that question because "I" didn't see myself as particularly courageous.  I got to thinking about what courageous means:
Courage is:
- being able to say "I'm sorry"
- is knowing when to say "ENOUGH"
- is saying "I love you"
- is saying "yes" or "no"
- is being truthful with oneself
- is knowing that we all screwed up
- is letting go
- is reaching out
- is standing up for something we believe in
- is burning our boats and never looking back!!
- is doing something new
- is choosing love over fear
- is learning to love again
- is believing in oneself for the first time!!
- is being vulnerable
- is asking for help
- is letting the tears flow
- is continuing through adversity
- is trusting that all will be well
So you see, y'all are courageous, everyday.  Do not let anyone steal that from you.  Including yourself! Stop beating yourself up.  Say your sorry if need be and move on.  Remember that YOU too are important to strand up for!

Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️#117

Today is Monday, April 17th.
Today's word of the day:
"generosity"
//: the quality of being kind and generous:
or quality or fact of being pletniful or large
Quote of the day:
"Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out." - Frank A. Clark
Or I have also heard "Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who can never repay you."
Generosity is the act of being kind, selfless, and giving to others.  Despite being an act that is done to benefit others' well-being, generosity also increases our well-being.  
Generosity can cause a ripple effect.  If someone else sees us do something kind or generous, it actually makes them more likely to be generous too.  Even saying a simple, "Thank you," can inspire both of you, and those watching, to be more generous.  Or we hear of the Starbuck's stories of someone paying for the person behind them order and then that person ends up paying for the next and so on.  this is how generostiy creates a ripple effect, helping us to feel happier.

Friday fun day with DJ - Start your day with a little‼️😁💕❤️#116

Today is Friday April 14th.
Word of the day:
"heroism"
//: great bravery; courageous action.
Quote of the day:
"Wrong is wrong even if everyone who is admired by others for courage, noble qualities or even undramatic.
By definition, a hero is one who is admired for courage, noble qualities or even outstanding qualities.
In the words of Arthur Ashe, "True heroism is remarkably sober and very undramatic."
Heroism does not involve urging to surpass everyone else at whatever coast (selling your soul), but intsead, ideal heroism included wanting to serve others.  for a person to be truckly heroic, they ought to be focused on self-sacrifice and also strive, without falter (getting a big fat head), to achieve their objectives which are not based on glory.  Heroic people can be citizens who choose to go against all the odds, to do extraordinary things in life.  Through a person's single acts of selflessness & courage, they are usually said to exemplify heroism.  All that being said, a hero is not necessarily the strongest person, but instead, a person who chooses to trust their strength & courage to save the day when no one else is doing a damn thing.

It’s Hump Day Y’all - Start it with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️115

Today is Wednesday April 12th.
Word of the Day:.  
"fearless"
//: without fear; courageous; oblivious of dangers or perils or calmy resolute in facing them
Quote of the Day:
"It's not about being fearless, It's about acting in spite of fear."
Fearlessness is the quality or trait of feeling no fear.  It is a type of courage or nerve that enables one to face danger or pain without showing fear.  Fearlessness can also be used to describe someone who is free from fear or brave.
Being fearless isn't just something that happens to you; it's a choice.  You choose to leave your fears behind, you choose to push through regardless of what you're afraid of.
Sure, doubts many creep up in your mind and you may have fears, but being fearless is about having an overall attitude that means you approach life confidently, putting your positive thoughts before your fears.  Whether you're afraid of failure, afraid of regrets, afraid of physical pain, afraid of social situations or something else, stop it and step out and be fearless!

Back at it with DJ - start your day with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️#114

Today is Monday April 10th.  
Word of the day:
"tenacious"
//: tending to keep a firm hold of something; clinging or adhering closely
//: not readily relinquishing a position, principle, or course of action; determined
Quote of the day
"Tenacious people don't rely on luck, fate, or destiny for their success.  And when conditions become difficult, they keep working!" - John C. Maxwell
Being tenacious means having drive and passion, which can be experienced in various ways.  Being tenacious does not necessarily mean being the loudest in the room or always moving at a fast pace.  It also entails giving yourself the spae to breathe and be in the shadows when you need to, then showing up again with confidence and strength.
The tenacious person takes the time to prepare for the future.  This makes achieving your goals easier and you will find that you are more efficient.
Also live in the present moment.  Exert your energy on focusing on what is to come.
Beng tenacious will come easily if you remember the bigger pictutre and can visualize reaching for your dreams.  This means reminding yourself why you matter.  make sure you understand how what you do benefits others.  Knowing that what you do makes a difference, allows you to bring a new level of excitement to what you do, life, ect... SO BE TENACIOUS!

Friday Fun Day with DJ - Start it with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#113

Today is Friday April 7th.
Today, Ahron will join me and we will discuss the movie "AIR."
Word of the Day:
"Determination"
//: the ability to continue trying to do something, although it is very difficult
Quote of the day:
"Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you." - Denis Waitley
Winners never quit and quitters never win.  Whether you call it determination, grit, or old-fashioned hard work, the will to keep going is a vital component of success.
In fact, recent research suggests that having determination is more important than being smart.  That is because your intelligence (and the rest of your talent) is an inherently passive quality, but determination is active.
Determination is Transformative
Your innate talents may create opportunities, but you have to put in the real work to make those opportunities a reality.  Hard work is so important that, even if you have an average level of talent, you can still use determination to transform what you do have into success.
Determination keeps you moving forward
Determination is about staying focused on a goal.  And as long as you have a goal, you can create paths to that goal, moving eer closer to the success you want.
Determination Overcomes Failure
What happens if you run into obstacles on the path to your goal?  You push through them or you blaze a new path.  That is the thing about determination; it helps you keep going regardless of what is put in front of you.  With determination, failure is just a diversion.  It's not an end!
SO......
- Stay Focused on the Future - Let the past guide you, but never let it consume you.
- Believe in yourself - You are in control of your life.
- Celebrate Others - Jealousy of others success will just slow you down.
- Have smaller goals within the larger goal - To keep yourself going, give yourself milestones you want to reach.
- Be Grateful - Take time to recognize what you have instead of obsessing about what you don't have.
Trending Food -
- Pop-Tart has a couple new flavors an a Grandma-Chic Sweater that a few lucky buyers can have, each rectangle on the crochet sweater looks like a pop-tart.  Flavors Banana Nut bread, Apple Fritter & Boston Creme.
"AIR" the Movie
Ahron & I had the opportunity to see the new movie "AIR" about Nike determination to get Michael Jordan.
I give it a B+, the movie teaches to never give up.  Do not accept no or anyone who says no you can't do that, or achieve that. The movie stars:
Matt Damon - Sonny Vaccaro, Nike shoe sales
Ben Affleck - Phil Knight, CEO of Nike
Viola Davis - Deloris Jordan, Michael's Mother
Damian Deano Young - Michael Jordan
Matthew Maher - Peter Moore, shoe Designer
Chris Tucker - Howard White
Julius Tennon - James Jordan, Michael's Father
Chris Messina - David Falk, Jordan's Agent
Jason Bateman - Rob Strasser, Sonny's boss at Nike
 
The movie is about follows the history of shoe salesmann Sonny Vaccaro, and how he led Nike in its pursuit of the greatest athlete in the history of basketball, Michael Jordan.
Jordan is mostly off screen, while leaving that part of the story to Viola Jordan as his protective and strong-willed mother, Deloris.
"The mommas run stuff," Vaccaro is told early on, and his courtship with Deloris and her husband James becomes the film's centerpiece, augmented by the skepticism of Vaccaro's boss, Rob Strasser, and his profane exchanges with Jordan's hard-charging agent, David Falk.
Davis has made a habit of stealing movies, and "AIR" is no different, with her again emerging as its MVP in a supporting capacity.  It was fascinating to see Nike portrayed as a underdog and watching Sonny work to preempt the market leaders, Adidas and Converse and deal with the unpredictable changes of chasing high school and college athletes, before he turned against the system by championing a lawsuit challenging the NCAA's model of amateurism.
