Declare More

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to declaring more. What do you want for your life? I hope that it's more than what you have right now, because that's what we call growth. That's what we call getting to our purpose, getting to our victory, getting to our peace. Because we don't stop growing until we did, right? And it makes me think about this track, "I Am More" by the vocal collective featuring Champ Johnson, who, Champ Johnson, I met at One Church, L.A. He was part of the choir. I'm not sure how we connected, but we did. And I remember when he came out with this track a couple of years ago, how it resonated with me, but it revisited me when I was on my walk and I just heard "I am more."

It hit me because, you know, when my mom died, I got two tattoos. I got her signature "J", and then I got a greater than equal to sign. I got it because in the moments of despair and I'm looking down, I look to my left on my right, on my wrist, I'm reminded of my mama. Everything I am is because of Janice Hill and I look at the right and this greater than equal to sign says "I'm greater than anything that can come my way and stronger than I was the day before." I am more. Now, in listening to this track, it's interesting how when we look on the outside in things can get in our way and in it it says, "I am more than what the world can make me out to be."

You cannot allow other people to dictate You. You cannot allow other circumstance to dictate you. You dictate YOU. What do you see when you see yourself? And a lot of times we want to place things on the "enemy." An "outside" force and even in the track it says, "I am more than what the enemy wants me to see." Fear is what you do not know. Half the time we fear things because we are uncertain. But there is a confidence in the knowing who you are and what you're meant to do and who you're meant to be. The track goes on to say, "I am more than distractions that are meant to rob my power. What are your distractions?

Is it the toxic relationship? Is it overeating? Is it social media? Is it being so consumed with the destination that you forgot the journey? You are so caught up on getting there that you forgot about what you got to pick up on your way to get there. Those are the tools that you need. But more importantly, hear me when I say this... I am more. More than anything that comes my way to hinder me from my destiny, from gaining my true victory. From this day on, I need you to declare that you are more because you are. Whatever that depression, whatever that anxiety, whatever that self-doubt, whatever that uncertainty know that you are more and you know that you are more because you woke up today.

You know that you are more because you are listening to me right now. You are more because you're worthy. And what do I say? Whatever doesn't serve you doesn't deserve you. Get to the point that you start walking over the things that you used to trip over. So go ahead and declare it. I am more because you are.

That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."
