Speaker 1: celebrities and everyday people like you and me, Because if
Speaker 1: you want to be better and you want to do better,
Speaker 1: then you're going to have to be able to see better.
Speaker 1: So join me on this journey of living our best
Speaker 1: lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest
Speaker 1: ass act. It's time for you to show up, show
Speaker 1: up so that you can show out and understand that
Speaker 1: this showing up is going to require you to step
Speaker 1: into the light. Step into the lights so that you
Speaker 1: can be seen in all of your glory. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about just a full front of you. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about aside view. I'm not even talking about
Speaker 1: out of filtered view. I'm talking about a three sixty
Speaker 1: rotational view, seeing all sides of you and always and
Speaker 1: all colors in all shapes, all dimensions, and every environment,
Speaker 1: weathering what ever storm, because all that is is you.
Speaker 1: And sometimes when we're going through things, we have a
Speaker 1: tendency to hide, We have a tendency to put on
Speaker 1: the front as if everything's okay. But what about just
Speaker 1: being seen? What about embracing the fact that you may
Speaker 1: be experiencing a trial of tribulation, feeling what it is
Speaker 1: that you need to feel in that moment, being transparent
Speaker 1: about that moment, and then growing from that moment, because
Speaker 1: it's in that growth process that the magic lies. It's
Speaker 1: in that growth process that you become relatable. It's in
Speaker 1: that growth process that you are revealed who you really are.
Speaker 1: In the growth process, that's what you get up so
Speaker 1: you can show out. And to think about it so
Speaker 1: amazing when you decide to step into who you are
Speaker 1: and whatever room and whatever setting is, that you inspire
Speaker 1: people to do the same. It's almost as though you
Speaker 1: speak before you open your mouth. Your presence is felt
Speaker 1: before it is saying are you ready to show up
Speaker 1: and show out? Is it gonna be challenging. Yes, well
Speaker 1: you want to run away, Yes, but it's who and
Speaker 1: I don't care how far and fast you run. You
Speaker 1: still are you and everything about you is perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: Now there's gonna come to a time that you have
Speaker 1: to embrace everything that you are so that you can
Speaker 1: become everything that you are meant to be. But don't
Speaker 1: think that you can become something from nothing, meaning, don't
Speaker 1: think that you can just transform your life from something
Speaker 1: that you are right now own. Because everything you all
Speaker 1: right now is the foundation for you become. So what
Speaker 1: are you building all? Have you had a chance to
Speaker 1: spend time with yourself, to see yourself so that you
Speaker 1: can truly be yourself? Are you ready to show up
Speaker 1: so that you can show out as people count on you.
Speaker 1: If somebody that's looking at you and said, because you did,
Speaker 1: they can, because you would, they will. So what do
Speaker 1: you say? What do you say about you showing up
Speaker 1: to be the best that you can be? Life? It
Speaker 1: gets light, shine bright, get your right, mndy right with me.
Speaker 1: I get excited about your lives. I was talking to
Speaker 1: my friend's mom the other day. She's a bit clar boyant.
Speaker 1: So there are times that I've spoken to her to
Speaker 1: get this insight on life. How are this conversation I
Speaker 1: left a little uneasy, a little uncomfortable. And it reminds
Speaker 1: me about how we should choose to live our life,
Speaker 1: and why it's so important to eat the meeting, the
Speaker 1: spell off the bones. How it's so important to realize
Speaker 1: but God, how it's so important to have faith in yourself.
Speaker 1: How you must activate, in charge your life as if
Speaker 1: you had blinders on and your ears are pluged, so
Speaker 1: that you can stay focused, so that you can listen
Speaker 1: to yourself. Now, I called her because one thing she
Speaker 1: talked about, this was probably a year or so ago.
Speaker 1: She kind of mentioned the things that were going on
Speaker 1: with the pandemic. She even went on to say, she said,
Speaker 1: at some point, the everyday items that you could pick
Speaker 1: up the store. Soon there will be no more stories
Speaker 1: are going to be shut down. And I guess I
Speaker 1: had been in the stories and I'm looking at Think
Speaker 1: products and I'm like, things are going and I just
Speaker 1: wanted to call it an update, like oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you know right. But when I called for that, she
Speaker 1: immediately began to ask you, well, what's going on? What's
Speaker 1: going on with you and I'm like, well, I'm not
Speaker 1: actually one of the best places I feel as far
Speaker 1: as growth and making room for Dawn that I've been
Speaker 1: in a while. I became disgruntled about the conversation because
Speaker 1: not because I don't want to be charged and challenged
Speaker 1: about what growth is. But she began to say, you
Speaker 1: should be further along than when you are right now.
Speaker 1: How Dawn, you give so many people ideas, but you
Speaker 1: don't leave them for yourself. How look at this next
Speaker 1: person that you helped down, how further along they are
Speaker 1: from you. My spirit was very uncomfortable, but yet I
Speaker 1: wanted to make room to receive her, to hear what
Speaker 1: she had to say. Now, I know that myself and
Speaker 1: what my mother taught me, Janie Hill, is that you
Speaker 1: always operate and good, and that good means that I
Speaker 1: don't have to hoard my blessings or things for myself,
Speaker 1: because when we talk about abundance, that's an overflow. Like
Speaker 1: could you imagine guys saying I'm not gonna bless you
Speaker 1: anymore because I gotta say some blessings for someone else.
Speaker 1: That's not how it works. So when she began to
Speaker 1: say those things, she said, don't you're giving those ideas. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you idea because if I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: use it, I know that's your dream. Why would I
Speaker 1: hold that from you? Why wouldn't I want that the
Speaker 1: best for you? She then said, Hey, you know your
Speaker 1: friend over there, Uh, they're going on. Uh, they're progressing
Speaker 1: further in life than you. That really made me uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: and I had to tell her that immediately. I said,
Speaker 1: one that made me feel uncomfortable. It made me feel
Speaker 1: uncomfortable because I never look at my friends and compare
Speaker 1: what they're doing and what I'm doing. I begin to
Speaker 1: even saying, I said, you know, you make this mention
Speaker 1: about being further along. And this is where I started
Speaker 1: challenging me, because now I became defensive. Why am I
Speaker 1: defending myself about who I am and what it is
Speaker 1: that I'm doing with I said, I'm getting ready. The
Speaker 1: process is happening, and if you're not careful, if you're
Speaker 1: not mindful, you'll listen so much to the outside noise
Speaker 1: of people who aren't living your life for a vision
Speaker 1: that wasn't given to anybody else but you. Because there
Speaker 1: is success being able to take a chance on your dreams.
Speaker 1: There is success of saying, Hey, I'm gonna leave a
Speaker 1: comfortable job because I believe in myself that much that
Speaker 1: I decided to take a chance. Isn't that growth? Isn't
Speaker 1: that success to transform into something else? Even so much so,
Speaker 1: I even recalled that said tire, I said, thank you
Speaker 1: for sharing, But I disagree because when I look back,
Speaker 1: I have this picture. I probably was Jeremiah's age. I
Speaker 1: was in New York at Radio City Music Hall. I
Speaker 1: didn't even know the building that I was in, but
Speaker 1: I looked back in the picture. It's an old coworker.
Speaker 1: We worked together at WBLS in New York. His name
Speaker 1: is Andres. He goes by e J. He's on Kiss
Speaker 1: one or two seven out here in l A. And
Speaker 1: it's a picture of us standing in the hallway, and
Speaker 1: behind us it says Premiere Networks. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: what it was. I was there because a friend of
Speaker 1: mine worked at Premiere. And you know what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: I was up at Premiere because Duyanne was helping me
Speaker 1: put together my radio checked my hear check demo. That's
Speaker 1: what he was doing. I'm getting emotional because you're gonna
Speaker 1: out the hole door, because here we are almost tim
Speaker 1: plus years fast forward. I'm in Sherman Oaks, California. Oh
Speaker 1: my back right behind me, like right there, it says
Speaker 1: Premier Networks, and I hurt media. So don't tell me
Speaker 1: that I should be farther along than where I am.
Speaker 1: And not because I'm feeling emotional because I'm mad. I'm
Speaker 1: just this is joy for me because it ain't nothing
Speaker 1: like saying something having a vision for a dree and
Speaker 1: it starts manifesting. And when these things are spewed at me,
Speaker 1: and I say spewed, that's probably sounds like a harsh word.
Speaker 1: But when she's saying, hey, Dawn, you give ideas for
Speaker 1: other people, will you even help other people? Even want
Speaker 1: to say, you know, talking about Jeremiah and talking about
Speaker 1: how amazing is and I said I know, and she
Speaker 1: says he's gonna going through the great things and I
Speaker 1: said I know, and she said well, and I was
Speaker 1: just saying, I was like, you know, I'm so grateful
Speaker 1: for him because you know, I've been able to do
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that I want to do
Speaker 1: right now just to be and she said, well, he
Speaker 1: ain't gonna always be there with you, so what you're
Speaker 1: gonna do after that, I said, well, that's okay. And
Speaker 1: I said, and when he goes on to do great things,
Speaker 1: that's fine too, because that's what it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to help people. And I think that further,
Speaker 1: she'd be a testament of the environments you're in and
Speaker 1: what you're doing if it promotes you to grow, because remember,
Speaker 1: that's a success. Now, in my mind, I'm like, are
Speaker 1: you implying that, Hey, I don't give you too much advice.
Speaker 1: I don't give them too much advice so that he
Speaker 1: doesn't sore what you know, We don't do good based
Speaker 1: on what somebody else is gonna do for us. You
Speaker 1: do good to do good. And despite the countless ideas
Speaker 1: I've given to people, huh and help them with their
Speaker 1: confidence and sore. I know I'm reaping my benefits because
Speaker 1: I look at the circumstances, the opportunities, and the back
Speaker 1: doors that I've been able to walk through. And I
Speaker 1: call it grace. I call it favor because that's what
Speaker 1: I put out there. So don't you ever get to
Speaker 1: a point you hear me that you feel like you
Speaker 1: got hold back on your love, on your joy, because
Speaker 1: what if somebody go ahead and magnify it and live,
Speaker 1: You've done your part again saying hey, you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like you should be further along. What y'alln't heard
Speaker 1: me talk about on this podcast of making room? Huh?
Speaker 1: Seeing don huh? This vulnerability? Huh? How am I supposed
Speaker 1: to be further along than where I can show up
Speaker 1: to you? Ask? Because if you can't see me, how
Speaker 1: can I see me? How can I be me? How
Speaker 1: can I shine? How can I be an example? It
Speaker 1: goes along with the lines of when we're asking for
Speaker 1: things in life and defining whether or not we have
Speaker 1: the capacity to hold them. If I say, God, you
Speaker 1: put the vision in my life to be bigger than Oprah.
Speaker 1: Now I got this vision, but God said exceedingly and
Speaker 1: be odd. Hey catch it? Don't I need to show
Speaker 1: up as me so that you can see me. So
Speaker 1: when I tell you about something I recommend, you're gonna
Speaker 1: believe me. Huh. What I share news about what's going on,
Speaker 1: You're gonna believe me because you know me. I'm making
Speaker 1: rules so I can know and see myself. So oftentimes
Speaker 1: we can look at different things in life and say
Speaker 1: this is what we want, But sometimes you just gotta
Speaker 1: slow down and say, wait, do I truly have the
Speaker 1: capacity to hold it? Am I willing to open up
Speaker 1: to have the capacity to hold it? Mm hmm. And
Speaker 1: that's why I even left the conversation that was a
Speaker 1: little disgruntled. I felt a little drained, but I was
Speaker 1: at ease because there wasn't no stress because I trust
Speaker 1: this process. I can't tell you how everything has been
Speaker 1: working out, but the fact that I've been able to
Speaker 1: have my peace of mind and grow that says something.
Speaker 1: But be mindful of what you allow to get in
Speaker 1: your ears, because what that was what I received, And
Speaker 1: I don't look at it as she was being a
Speaker 1: mean person. I looked at it more so is that
Speaker 1: she's speaking from her experience. But I have to remind
Speaker 1: myself of who I am, who'se I say I am,
Speaker 1: what I'm connected to, and the vision that came to me,
Speaker 1: and understanding and trust, think having the confidence where I
Speaker 1: am and where I'm going. That's all this life, this,
Speaker 1: this this whole game of life about it's your confidence.
Speaker 1: It's how you move. Do you have confidence to declare
Speaker 1: what you want out of life and to go after it?
Speaker 1: Not mean worried about other people because you can't compare.
Speaker 1: In contrast, see for me and having a faith, it's
Speaker 1: exceedingly and beyond. It's far more than what I could
Speaker 1: ever imagine. So when someone says to me and judgment
Speaker 1: about my process, where I'm going, or what you're doing,
Speaker 1: you have to remind yourself deficient what's given to you. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're a dreamer like me, and you go for
Speaker 1: exceedingly and beyond how you expect to comprehend this, ain't
Speaker 1: that a trip? Ain't that a trip? You get excited
Speaker 1: exceedingly beyond the far more than what you imagine. And
Speaker 1: then when you can't imagine it, when you can't figure
Speaker 1: out the steps, all of a sudden you want to
Speaker 1: feel down and out what happened to the confidence? Exceedingly
Speaker 1: and beyond, far more than what you could ever imagine.
Speaker 1: So if I get caught up in the imagination of
Speaker 1: others that wasn't given to me, do you see the
Speaker 1: how it can derail your life? So I want to
Speaker 1: charge you eat the meat and spit out the bones,
Speaker 1: get rooted and trust yourself. Don't be one to hold
Speaker 1: onto your blessings, let them overflow. Never look at somebody else,
Speaker 1: a comparing contrast, and more importantly, my God, have faith
Speaker 1: in the vision that was given to you. You're worth
Speaker 1: taking a chance on. You're worth someone believing in you,
Speaker 1: are worth somebody to inspire. Okay, So again I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at my friend's mother, but I'm just reminded about
Speaker 1: my vision for my life and where I'm going and
Speaker 1: and and that's probably why they say gratitude is everything,
Speaker 1: because I could sit here and say, oh, at this
Speaker 1: age on you could have had this, you should have
Speaker 1: this or with these experiences. But we talk about success,
Speaker 1: when we talk about growth. I think about that little
Speaker 1: door at Howard. I'm beginning that booth at six, I
Speaker 1: am to produce my radio commercials, doing my drops, and
Speaker 1: thinking about that, doing that, stood in front of that
Speaker 1: sun that staid Premiere Networks, thinking about this doing right now,
Speaker 1: it's talking to you, right now, it's behind my back,
Speaker 1: and imagining that going. That's the come by God. So
Speaker 1: live your life all a dream big, okay, and don't
Speaker 1: let nobody else tell you where you are and where
Speaker 1: you're going. Right with me, and get excited about your
Speaker 1: lives
