LOVE AND BUSINESS, IS IT WORTH IT?


Faith It Till You Make It

April 19, 2019

Demetrius has built his life on “faith it ‘til you make it,” and Dhayany says that he also built their


relationship on this philosophy. Today, the two talk about what this phrase means and how we


can use it to strengthen our businesses and relationships.


Demetrius starts out by expressing his thankfulness to God. His faith has been structured


around God’s principles, and this has allowed Demetrius to achieve everything that he has. He


then shares a story about the conversation he had with God after losing his job, provoking


Dhayany to talk about her very similar experience. We hear about how entrepreneurs need to


make things happen for themselves and are not able to depend on anyone else.


Dhayany begins to share some ways that we can increase our faith, starting with simply writing


down goals. Another tip is to accept that mistakes will happen, and Demetrius adds that life is


all about getting tested. He leads us through a test of his own and challenges us to think of a


situation that we did not make it through. We learn that having faith in ourselves is just as


important as having faith in the process.


We need to control which thoughts we are focusing our attention on. Dhayany reflects on a


time when she prayed and promised to herself that she would refuse to live her life in anxiety,


which allowed her to leave behind the negative thoughts that were chained to it. Always trying


to reach the next level, the couple say that any entrepreneur’s life is full of risks that are


necessary and can be handled in a healthy way. Instead of fretting, Dhayany asserts that now


she always believes that what she and Demetrius have set out to do will happen by the grace of


God. She refuses to put any negative energy out into the world. Demetrius comments on


Dhayany’s growth from his perspective.


Dhayany recalls an old ex once telling her that their life wasn’t a fairy tale, which made her


realize that he was not the one. Demetrius agrees that if we are around people like this, we


need to get rid of them. To have a power couple lifestyle, we must believe in ourselves. This


thought prompts Demetrius to tell us one of his daily prayers and discuss how to evoke


confidence in ourselves. He explains how God snatched everything from him when he was in a


great place in life, but that his faith allowed him to rebound and find greater success.


Ultimately, life is like a puzzle. Dhayany declares that we don’t meet people or make mistakes


by accident, but that these events all come together to form our desired version of life. We


must strongly believe that we deserve what we want, and Dhayany says that April can be a


fantastic month for us if we take on this view. Joy will manifest like never before. This is the


positive energy that she is putting into our lives that she wants us to recite every day moving


forward. Positive vibes only
