I listened to Drakes “Worst Behavior” 10 times and it confirmed that I should live for no one else but myself and what I believe in…

I stopped trying to figure people out. It was exhausting. Me, trying to change who I am to appease others or trying something I didn’t like to fit in. That’s not the life I want to lead because that life belongs to other people. I have tried endlessly to figure out what was I trying to prove and to whom?
Other People?

That’s pretty selfish, and I think It comes from fear. I mean if we are always trying to please other people, when we fail we have someone to blame. If we put all of our wants and needs on our own shoulders and take full responsibility for it i.e.;”I wanted this”, “I chose this”, “this was my idea”, “I have to finish this myself”
It is terrifying to be the sole motivator of your own dream. Honestly, none of us know what we want and we always figure it out when it’s too late. Why not know now? I’m not saying be reckless but How are you going to be happy living your life for other people?

It’s YOUR life, You do what you want…. now don’t confuse that with living without a purpose, because I’m getting to that but I want  you to snap out of this bubble first. I want you too let go of “You won’t make any money doing that”, or “No one goes to school for that…”, and ” I’m not sure dad will approve of you being a…”.
If you value what people think of you over what you think you’re capable of, you will always be their prisoner. You will always be held captive of someone else’s ceiling. I learned in the most difficult way not to believe in the naysayers. The ugly part is.. your first naysayers with be those people closest to you. Family, the “saved” people you know and those  people you ‘think’ are your friends. If thinking for yourself is bad…. I challenge you to be on your worse behavior.

It sounds harsh, but the truth is ugly and “Worse Behavior” punches you in the face with the information I’m trying to convey. The track has a sense of vengeance. But vengeance is taken in the form of success without support. You won’t ever become someone or something successful without a critic, or better yet a few. If you aren’t making people angry you really aren’t successful yet. I’m not saying everyone should hate you but if you are being entirely ‘you’, that alone will ruffle some feathers.   Remember that “bubble” I was talking about earlier? You will never get out of it unless you are willing to do what people have told and taught you to think is impossible. I will list a few of them;

1. Never Give Up. (This is a lot harder then most believe. I will tell you from a musicians point of view; You must be prepared enough. No so that your the best in the world. But that your worse day is STILL the best in the world.)
2. Make Stress your best friend. (How you acknowledge stress has more to do with stress than it alone. You have to look at stress in a way the “hey… my body is helping me to rise to the challenge. Just like adrenaline helps you reacts in dangerous situations, stress helps you finish tasks with the upmost urgency.)
3. Stop listening to people who haven’t been anywhere and aren’t working on going anywhere.

Work is the only thing that will get you to the top… Point blank Period.
