Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to taking it all off! Yup, I mean every word…it’s time to get naked. It’s time to wipe the shame off your face, strip yourself of off all of your guards and walk with your arms wide open. It’s easy to pretend to be perfect, but how about just being real. Being you.

So what’s your excuse? You doubt your own strength to overcome what’s present in your life, so you hide. Rather than knowing your faults and what you need to overcome, you hide behind them and drown. Why is that? Not realizing that is your “shame” that has you imprisoned in the first place. I didn’t doubt my intellect when I first got rejected from Howard University. I fought for it. I reversed their decision, received a scholarship and hosted my graduation. I’m not ashamed to admit that. Perhaps that’s what makes the rose so special that grew from the concrete. Despite its debilitating circumstances, it was still able to grow towards the light.

Regardless of the situation that is being faced your way. It is important to understand that you can either have a breakdown or a breakthrough. You may not be able to physically see it, but you can indeed envision it. Think of a beautifully wrapped box on a special occasion. It’s amazing to look at, but the true gift is inside. Just like the hit R&B crooner Labrinth, I’d like to know if I could see “Beneath Your Beautiful?”

Or better yet…can you?
