Doing hard things makes you stronger!
We all know people who always take the easy way out of, well, everything.  They take short cuts in every aspects of life and often times they end up living a life that is less than fulfilling, well they might think that their life is fulfilling, but the fact that they never doing anything on their own, they are pretending to live a fulfilled life.  They will never do the hard thing.
Instead, choose to do the hard things in life instead.  This means doing the things other people are not willing to do. 
Here are just a few reasons choosing the harder things in life are the best way to live you life.
-  Of course you grow as a person
-  You will become a better person
-  You will stand out
-  You will be healthier
-  You will become smarter
-  You will be more productive
-  You will be valued
And you will be happier.  You will feel as though you have accomplished something, tried your hardest and put in your best effort.
Now let us listen to this:
THE COMEBACK IS ALWAYS STRONGER THAN THE SETBACK - Motivational Speech
*"Hard things just keep calling you because you're meant to answer to HIGHER and BETTER things."
You got this…I believe in you."

Phrase of the day, "Turn your wounds into your weapon" - Start your day with DJ!😁💕❤️#250

Today is Wednesday March 13th, on today's show:
**Snowpocalypse 2024!! For parts of Colorado
 
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  Spreading knowledge is a powerful way of adding value to the world.
So let's go!
 
Today's word or phrase of the day is  "turn your wounds into your weapon" or "Turn your wounds into wisdom."
//:
 
**Quote of the day:

“Holding on to pain, anger, guilt or shame is the glue that binds us to the situation we want to escape.” – Iyanla Vanzant
 
 
 
Turning your wounds into wisdom; what does this phrase mean?
 
It is a call to action.  When we experience pain or trauma, it is easy to feel defeated and helpless.  We have the power to transform our struggles into something meaningful and positive.
Turning  your wounds into wisdom means using the lessons in life you've learned from your past experiences, to gain insight and continues to lead to  personal growth, emotional healing and increased resilience.
It requires courage, strength, trust and hope.  It helps you to be able to navigate through those difficult times.
There are a lot of ways to be able to turn your wounds into weapons or wisdom depending on the quote you like, here are just a few:
-  you can seek therapy
-  you can talk to a trusted friend or family member
-  put your thoughts to paper, get them out of your brain.
Ok Let us listen to this motivation: MOTIVATION 2024: Your Problems Do NOT Define YOU!Remember: “We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds—the strengths to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts or other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.” – Caroline Myss
You got this…I believe in you!

WOTD - "Self-Respect" - Start your day with DJ‼️😁💕❤️#249

Today is March 11th, on today's show:
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  Spreading knowledge is a powerful way of adding value to the world.
So let's go!
 
Today's word or phrase of the day is   " Self-Respect "
//:  pride and confidence in oneself; a feeling that one is behaving with honor and dignity:
**Quote of the day:

"Don't lower your standards for anyone or anything.  Self-respect is everything." -
Self-Respect
Self-respect is knowing you are worthy and treating yourself accordingly.  Respecting yourself is the first step toward understanding you deserve love and opportunities like everyone else.
It is loving yourself and treating yourself with care.  It is the result of staying true to your values and not being willing to compromise them.  The more you engage in behaviors consistent with your beliefs and values the more you will feel fulfilled and confident.
When you have self-respect you do not spend your valuable time comparing yourself and your life to other people.  
There is so much negativity in the world today and this makes it very easy to lose self-respect and develop a negative view of yourself.  None of us are perfect, we all have characteristics and achievements which we should respect about ourselves.   It fosters self-belief and this is essential if you want to make the most of your life.
Self-respect is a feeling of pride and confidence that is earned and achieved over time. 
"Respect your efforts, respect yourself.  Self-respect leads to self-discipline.  When you have both firmly under your belt, that is real power." - Clint Eastwood
So stand tall, you got this…I believe in you!

WOTD - grinding (not that kind!) - Start your day with DJ‼️😁💕❤️#248

Today is Wednesday March 6th, on today's show:
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  Spreading knowledge is a powerful way of adding value to the world.
So let's go!
 
Today's word of the day is   "  grinding as in keep grinding "  NOT grinding
//: Keep grinding" is a modern expression that means to keep working very hard and not give up. It is often used to encourage someone to persevere when doing something difficult or performing repetitive tasks to attain a certain goal.
 
**Quote of the day:
This post may contain affiliate links
"Let them sleep while you grind, Let them party while you work.  The difference will show." - Eric Thomas
 
Everyone who is wanting to reach their goals knows that they need to pump their grind to achieve what they want.
Whether you want to lose weight, get fit, advance at work, whatever it, the amount of time you focus and work is what sets you apart from others.  That is where becoming a grinder is essential.
A grinder works diligently and endlessly until their end result is at arm's reach.
You will always have days when you don't feel motivated.  For me it is typically when I do not feel great, that is what makes it a challenge to feel motivated.  But your personal happiness depends on staying motivated.
Try looking at what the perfect you looks like.  Break it down into small achievable goals.  Is it because you want to work on yourself?  You want financial freedom?  Also take a look at who you spend time with, your closest friends.  If the company you keep are individuals that are keeping you down more than pushing you forward, you need to start searching for new company.  I am not saying to cut every one off, BUT like so many have brilliantly said, "you are who you surround yourself with."
So, if you're striving to better your life
Grind passionately! It will take time and work, but the results are completely worth it!
Let me leave you with this, When things don't happen right away just remember, IT TAKES 6 MONTHS to build a Rolls-Royce and 13 hours to build a Toyota.
Let's listen to this:
So, if you're striving to better your life
Grind passionately! It will take time and work, but the results are completely worth it!
I believe in you, You got this!!

WOTD - Vision; Start your day with DJ‼️😁💕❤️#247

Today is Monday March 4th; on today's show:
Today's word of the day is   "Vision"
//: the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom:
 
**Quote of the day:
This post may contain affiliate links
"A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a cal to become something more." - Rosabeth Moss Kanter
 
What does it mean to have a vision?
Most of life is filled with uncertainty.  This is especially true when it comes to the future.  But if you can hold onto a vision of what is yet to come, you can boost your chances at achieving your dreams and becoming more successful. 
According to the dictionary, vision is defined as, "the act of power of imagination."  When you apply vision to the future, you can create a mental picture that can be used to direct your actions. 
When you have a clear vision of what you want to happen in your life, when trials, challenges or tribulations come your way, you end up making better decisions.  It provides you with something to look forward to, a reason to keep going.
If you do not have an end goal in mind, then you won't have a clear path when times are especially tough.
**Let's give this a listen:
Remember a vision can consist of personal goals, physical health, career goals and any other aspect of life. No matter what aspect you choose to focus on, you can define & attain your vision when you are determined and focus!

WOTD - Vulnerability - Start your day with DJ‼️😁💕❤️#246

Today is March 1st, 2024, on today's show:
**Quote of the day:
This post may contain affiliate links
"To be vulnerable is to be courageous, for vulnerability stands defiantly in the face of fear, accepting the uncertainty of possible attack or compromise." -  Aletheia Luna
 
Vulnerability - Why it is important
 
It doesn't sound fun does it? Being vulnerable.  It involves a willingness to accept the emotional risk that comes from being open & willing to love & be loved.  It is well worth the effort.
Author Brene' Brown (she is all everywhere, youtube etc.) suggests that vulnerability is an important measure of COURAGE and that it allows you to be seen and understood by the people who are important in your life.  She adds, that it serves as a way to be more authentic.
But so many fear vulnerability, why, if it is a good thing?  It is associated with a number of challenging emotional states, like : disappointment, shame and grief.  The fear of rejection and fear of abandonment are also related to vulnerability. 
The truth about vulnerability is that it is not a weakness; it is in fact a strength.  We need to embrace it knowing that it will make our lives more full in the long run.  Think about it.  Saying I love you to someone is being vulnerable.  So is trying something new, or sharing a difficult experience, all are you being vulnerable.  While at first you want to avoid all of these things, they can actually be extremely rewarding.  Ultimately, it is living a genuinely fulfilling life.
The emotional benefits of being vulnerable are:
-  Greater strength: When you put yourself in situations where you feel vulnerable, it will boost your confidence and belief in your ability to handle challenging situations. (resilient)
-  Stronger relationships: It helps deepen your compassion, empathy and connection with others in your life.
-  Improved SELF-acceptance:  It allows you to accept and embrace different aspects of yourself and build greater confidence.
Break time from talking and let's listen to this:
To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength."
You got this…I believe in you.
