Chances are if you’re a frequent user of Snapchat, you already have @djkhaled305 on your friends list. DJ Khaled is famous for his inspirational talks but recently he has taken to Snapchat to snap his day whilst adding commentary to help lead his viewers to ‘the pathway of more success’. He gives inspirational life talks on his jetski, his tourbus, his golfcart and his elliptical which he captions, ‘jetski talk’, ‘tourbus talk’, ‘golfcart talk’ or ‘elliptical talk’ respectively. His advice has inspired millions and has led many to apply his catchphrases such as ‘bless up’ and ‘the key to more success’ to their instagram captions, snapchat captions, tweets etc. in an attempt to be just as inspirational as the great DJ Khaled. His snapchats have been so well recieved that Snapchat dedicated the end of the year geotag to DJ Khaled with a cartoon image of him holding a key placed in the center.
1. “The Key to Success is a clean heart and a clean face.”
You might think this is an obvious piece of advice but washing your face wakes you up and leaves you feeling refreshed especially after a good ol’ cry or a hard night of studying.
2. “The key is to weather the storm. It’s gonna rain some days. That’s how life is. It is what it is.”
Life is a rollercoaster of ups and downs and even the great DJ Khaled knows that. In order to have a successful life, you have to keep persevering through, even when things get tough because that is life! Life is impossible without some stormy days and those days will only help you progress towards the “pathway of more success.”
3. “They say I’m fat I say I’m a sex symbol!”
Don’t let anyone define you are. That is easier said than done, obviously, but remember you are the only person who can define who you are.
4. “Open the door, because they not going [to] open [it] for you.”
DJ Khaled is a firm believer that you have to open your own doors and make your own destiny because people aren’t going to do it for you. You can apply this to looking for internships or jobs – you have to do it yourself and not rely on other people for help! Make your own connections and find your own way!
5. “The key is to enjoy life I promise you.”
Last but not least, the key to more success is to ENJOY LIFE! Don’t take life too seriously and just enjoy! Text that cutie in class you’ve been crushing on, treat yourself to an acai bowl… you deserve it! Seize the day and enjoy.
