As our economy continues to decline and unemployment continues to rise, the only thing you can be certain about is that you are definitely uncertain about your job, your money and your future. Now is the time for you to show courage and take more control of your life! I’m sure you’re saying that statement is so much easier said than done. You may not feel like you were built with the type of courage to overcome these obstacles, or the courage to leave your safety net, or the courage to risk it all…well you are wrong!! Those with “TRUE POWER” know that “GOD DOES NOT GIVE YOU COURAGE! HE ONLY GIVES YOU CHANCES TO BE COURAGEOUS!” Keep this in mind and you will know when the time is right to take more control of your life. Have a blessed week! – Daymond John.

INAUGURATION: Websters Dictionary breaks it down as: to make the formal beginning of, to initiate, to commence, to begin. We as a nation, a people and color will also be held responsible for the new beginning! Barack Obama has decided to take on the job of Commander and Chief of the most powerful country in the world at the darkest time of our nation as a economic superpower and as of nation of free will.

On Tuesday, we will witness him lay his heart and hand on the 200-year old bible of Abraham Lincoln and swear his dedication, and oath, to this country, and to the people who will live and die for the flag. Are you willing to help this man lead us out of a recession? Are you ready to make sure he is judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character? Are you willing to NOT let him let us down?

For the first time in history, are you proud to say “That’s my president and I back all of his decisions”? If so, any person with TRUE POWER knows that “A TRUE LEADER IS JUDGED NOT BY HIS ACTIONS, BUT BY THE ACTIONS OF THE PEOPLE HE LEADS”. Just like Barack, we now all have a responsibility to change, a new beginning, a new duty. Give him the support he needs to change this nation. You can run around bragging that your president is black, but are you ready to except the change that is coming? Because change starts with you! Remember – We are one! Have a great week – Daymond John

This week is the time to concentrate on muscle strengthening. There is no way to be successful Without understanding your body and how it works. There is a key muscle in your body that is often overlooked; like all, it needs constant nutrients, conditioning, and rest. It can be damaged if you put the wrong products in it; if trained incorrectly, it can leave you handicapped for the rest of your life. The good thing is that once it expands, it takes a lot of neglect and abuse to reduce its size. The bad thing is that it takes years to train it and you can’t see the results in the mirror right away. If you haven’t figured it out already…IT’S YOUR BRAIN!!!! All with real TRUE POWER know that “the most important muscle in the world is your brain”. Exercise it well and have a great week. – Daymond John

As you gear up to start the year on the right foot, you should make a special effort to concentrate on what challenges you will tackle this year. Keep in mind that love, work and life all have “RULES” that you must follow. Like any game you will play, you will only be able to master and win by knowing all the “rules”!! All the greats that have ever won in life were masters of the game by totally immersing themselves in the rules and how the game is played. I say this not for you to stay within the lines and always follow the code; I say this because all people with “TRUE POWER” know that ‘Once you know all the rules, you will then know how to break them properly to gain power’. Have a great first week in ’09.
