10 Life Lessons You Can Learn From DJ Khaled's Snapchat

You know DJ Khaled from his catchy rap songs and his insanely long, but extremely addicting Snapchat stories. You find yourself saying "bless up" and "major key" on a regular basis, but don't realize that you are actually learning a few lessons of substance from religiously watching DJ Khaled's life through a screen. There are a few things you can learn from Khaled besides his major Snapchatting skills and unique lexicon.

1. Persistence is key (major key).

DJ Khaled knows that success does not come without work. He always encourages his fans to keep pushing no matter what and to never give up, which is an important life lesson.

2. Don't forget to show your fans some love.

Khaled rarely goes a day without meeting his fans at a random location in L.A. He knows he's lucky to have thousands of fans who are willing to drop everything and go meet him, or even just catch a glimpse of him from afar. As Khaled would say himself: "fan luv, always a major key."

3. Make sure you look fresh at all times.

DJ Khaled gets his hair cut and beard shaved more than anyone I know. Never underestimate the power of a new 'do. Fresh cut = key to success.

4. Don't go anywhere without a positive attitude.

Between his motivational speeches about pretty much anything and his encouraging words about life in general, DJ Khaled is definitely a believer in the power of positive thinking. And you should be too, because studies show that it actually works!

5. Realize that you are fortunate (aka BLESS UP).

There is no occasion where you should not be thankful, even when you're taking your morning shower. Bless up applies to anything from pictures of food to selfies with friends to hanging out with your thousands of loyal followers. So be thankful, and don't forget that you're #blessed.

6. Hygiene is crucial.

The importance of bathing and face-washing cannot be overestimated. Look good, feel good. It's even okay to take selfies in the shower because it shows your friends that you're just that good at being clean. Oh, and make sure you're using cocoa butter, because Khaled swears by the stuff.

7. Haters gonna hate, hate, hate.

In the words of the king himself, "Smh they get mad when you have joy smh," and "They will try to close the door on u. Jus open it." Ignore the invisible "they" that keeps you from taking risks and reaching your goals. You do you, and if they don't want you to jet ski, then they're just wrong.

8. Celebrate responsibly, but still celebrate.

As a rap star and Snapchat legend, Khaled attends his fair share of VIP parties and events. He cautions his followers to celebrate responsibly, but still have fun. He can most commonly be found in a corner drinking fruit Ciroc flavors and videoing himself to put it on his story for the Snapchat world's viewing pleasure.

9. If you go with the flow, anything goes.

You can make inspirational quotes and tag lines about anything, even bamboo and dolphins.

10. Every successful day starts with a balanced breakfast.

Whether it's a bowl of cereal or a full plate of traditional breakfast food, Khaled almost always starts his Snapchat stories off with a picture of his breakfast. Some of Khaled's favorites: egg whites, turkey sausage, and bottled water (bless up for staying hydrated). He'll also likely photograph everything he'll eat or drink for the rest of the day, so stay tuned for some Insta-worthy food pics.

DJ Khaled took the world by storm by simply using his Snapchat and photographing and videoing his every move. Add him on Snapchat at djkhaled305 and let his motivational speeches change your life.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
