Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day, and all those willing can ride with him through his journey of continued success. DJ Khaled sounds like the best valentine and here are there seven things I love about him.
1. He knows how to make the most of any situation.
The infamous jet-ski incident comes to mind here. Though he apparently became lost at sea while cruising around on his jet ski, DJ Khaled kept us updated as he attempted to find shore. He didn’t let a minor mishap keep him from staying positive and communicating with his fans — he used it to remind us to have faith during the most difficult of times and to hang in there no matter what!
2. He is motivational.
Anyone who has added DJ Khaled on Snapchat is no stranger to his “elliptical talk” — and occasional “treadmill talk.” He gives us the encouragement we need to get up and get moving — after all, he looks like he is having the time of his life sweating it out on those machines! DJ Khaled also teaches us the important skill of multitasking. If he can hold his phone up to document his entire workout session, so can we.
3. He is gracious and kind to the people most important to him.
Prime example: Chef Dee. DJ Khaled doesn’t try to hide the fact that he has a lot of people helping him out in his life. Not only does he give his fans a detailed description of every fabulous meal he eats, but he then proceeds to show us the woman behind the gourmet creations, Chef Dee, even though she usually does not appear too thrilled to be featured. Nonetheless, it is a demonstration of gratefulness, an important trait DJ Khaled possesses.
4. He shows love for his fans.
DJ Khaled is also not one to forget about those who helped reach the level of fame and fortune he has achieved. From selfies on jet skis to the red carpet, he does not hesitate to mingle with his fans and make them a major part of his life on social media. It shows how down to earth and humble he is, and how he wants to show each and every fan the role they’ve played in his success.
5. He reminds us to bless up.
When feeling down and ungrateful for everything that has gone wrong in your life, look no further than DJ Khaled to help you be a little more thankful. His now-famous expression “bless up” is a simple reminder to be grateful for what we have in our lives. He even offers us a solution if we really cannot push through on our own: to ride with him through the journey of more success!
6. He gives back.
It was a delightful surprise to see DJ Khaled go beyond the required duties of his career and do something to benefit the larger community. On Jan. 20, he filled in as Principal for the day at Carol City Middle School in Miami to reward them for winning the Get Schooled 2015 Fall Attendance Challenge. Not only did DJ Khaled have the opportunity to spread his wisdom to the school population, but he also showed support for children going to school so they can get the best education to succeed!
7. He encourages good hygiene.
From applying cocoa butter and washing his face regularly to practically downing a bottle of Listerine, DJ Khaled is constantly reminding us to take care of ourselves and stay clean. This is important for two reasons: one, because we don’t typically get such an intimate snapshot into the lives of celebrities. And two, we really can’t argue with that logic.
