I think there are 2 speed bumps on the road to fruition...

"Fear Of Failure"

This is the most common one that all of us run into. We go into our journey full of steam and ready to take on any task.. Until it's met with resistance. My cure for that is putting my FEARS into context. Are these fears valid? Are these fears detrimental? Will these fears stop me OVER ALL? Most of the time... Once I get to the second question I'm pretty much over whatever fear/anxiety I'm having and get back to work.

"Fear Of Success"

This is the second limiter. Less common among us.. Or so it would seem. The sneaky thing about this speed bump is that it hides it's self under the guise of "FAILURE". I believe the biggest fear is LOSS OF SUCCESS once it's attained. The thought process is something like "I'm already at the bottom, so I might as well stay here so I never have to go through coming back" lol. Such a TERRIBLE mindset.. But that little monster lives back there in a lot of us.

Unfortunately these things don't go away mentally. The only thing you can do is prepare the way that you respond to it and make sure that you set yourself up for LONG TERM SUCCESS. I think too much of us in HIP HOP were raised with a hustlers mindset & don't prepare for the future enough. I look forward to putting out more content like this and more on socials to help you navigate forward. Until Then... Blessings on your journey! - ETD
