20 THINGS ABOUT CONFIDENCE IN CREATIVITY
This shit more than affirmations my nigga. It’s more than me telling you if what you create is good or bad sis. It’s about being secure, selfless, and self love.
The people you think are popping and are super confident with whatever they do may have thee most unbalanced mothafuckin feelings ever. There’s nothing wrong with emotion. I’m an extremely emotional and passionate dude. Just listen to one of my podcast. I speak with a great amount of passion but I know how to control it to the point where it doesn’t drive me insane.
You can’t wing confidence. You can’t fake it til you make it with confidence. The real bleeds through you no matter how you act. You can have the bravado all you want. You can talk all the shit you want but real niggas gone see through that shit. Like I said recently, you can see niggas body language through their art and it don’t match the fake bravado they showcase to the people.
Confidence is about teaching yourself about yourself and teaching yourself how to not only take over the world but know how to conduct yourself when the world is in your hands. That’s confidence. What’s your spirit like when no one is watching? When you’re not on the platforms what’s your temperature?
Confidence ain’t about being a jerk regardless if what you create is good or not.
You gain confidence by being nice to others. Being a blessing while you’re waiting on your blessings. Smiling. Looking people in their eyes. Don’t put down the next man and bring them up. Studying the field you’re in.
Watching other niggas from the sideline, DM’ing them, tweeting them, and praying they notice you not gone get you nowhere and people who lack confidence do that shit continuously. You got all the tools around you and you trying to shoot your shot with people who not paying you no mind?
Speaking shit into existence is cool but who’s actually doing shit? You still gotta physically create the existence you speaking about. You only need to speak it once and then actually start doing shit.
People think confidence is just talking shit that’s facts. Nah. It’s like I said at the beginning of this. It’s security. I’ve met niggas with 6 to 7 figures that move different. They’re on a different type of time. They don’t talk shit at all. They secure with who they are and what they bring to any table they go to. Reminding people of your accolades ain’t about shit. Going on twitter rants about how you feel about your art or what you do don’t mean you confident. The most broken mothafuckas typically do that shit.
Gain a sense of who you are. How the fuck can anyone see what makes you great when you don’t even know who the fuck you are? Understand your strengths and weaknesses. People who ignore their weaknesses as if they don’t exist walk in fear and base everything on external factors. They care what people think. Real confident people leverage their weaknesses and turn them into opportunities.
Stop trying to prove shit to people. The more people try to prove themselves to people the sadder they get and they wonder why their feelings fluctuate. If you have to constantly prove that your name hold weight like you think it does that means you light and you have a lot more work to do.
A lot of people not taking in account the science behind confidence. What you eat matters. Your daily interactions matter. The images you see constantly matter. What you allow in your space matters. Focusing on what you want to let in your life matters.
You niggas not drinking enough water. Juice not gone give you juice. Get some cucumbers in that agua my G. That’s a confidence beverage.
When you force confidence in your art you’ll feel lost. Step back and have a conversation with yourself. It’s like a coach or an athlete watching game film. Regardless if the film is of a win or loss there are things to learn about yourself and your team. You can’t fix anything you don’t acknowledge. Figure out what you need. What you need to tweak.
When you believe that everything in your life happens for your evolution that’s when you’re at ultra instinct levels of confidence.
You can’t be the greatest and afraid to ask for help or refuse to ask for help. It takes confidence to show humility and ask for help.
A person who doesn’t like to share resources has no confidence and they’re a snake. Remember this one the most outta all the shit I say on this blog post. That’s a bitch nigga. Keep your distance.
If it takes alcohol and other drugs for you to feel confident you will lose. You’ll take a lot of huge L’s.
Giving yourself credit for the small things. When small things are done good consistently over time it adds up to greatness and builds a strong foundation for your confidence.
Let your art speak.
