0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Get here right in many right with me, and get excited.

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>So that is dose a vitamin D is dedicated to

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>keep on keeping on in life. There are moments when

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you may feel let your back is up against the wall.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Moments where you may feel like life has tried every

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 1>last nerve in your body, that you realize that the

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.440
<v Speaker 1>only way is to keep pressing forward. See that moment

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>we decide to wallow in our discomfort, we become stagnant,

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>We become stuck. We lose our ability to move, especially

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>when it seems that we are on our last leg.

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>No one promised that life was going to be easy,

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>but choosing to keep on, keeping on, oh, would definitely

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>be worth it. You know, somebody look at my life

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>and say, hey, you didn't get accepted as a Howard?

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>How did you get a scholarship, graduate with honors, and

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>host your graduation? Oh, Dawn, you moved to New York

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>on a three month fellowship as a job. How did

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you last five years and get an article in New

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>York Times? Dawn, you watched your mother tech her last

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>breath as she died from stage for a breast cancer.

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>How did you get through that? My answer to it

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>all is that you have to keep on keeping on.

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>You can't allow life to happen, so you you have

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>to happen to life. You must keep your eyes on

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the prize. More times than not, we have the tendency

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to focus on the obstacles in our journey rather than

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>focus on the purpose of our journey. Some of us

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>get caught up in trying to survive that we actually

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>forget how to live. I want you to live your life,

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>live your life on purpose and for a purpose, And

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.280

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that no matter what obstacles come your way, you must

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>keep moving forward, pressing onward, striving further, keep on laughing,

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>keep on living, keep on love, and keep on dream

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and keep on achieving, keep on believing, keep smiling when

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you come through, cry when you need to. You see

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>how simple that is. Life wasn't meant to be easy,

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>but it would definitely be worth it as long as
