"WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK FROM SUCCESS?"

 
To make it to the top of your Game and to excel in your art or craft, you must first make the effort.
 
Your Goal must be a Passionate Obsession.
 
You must visualize it and study it from all angles.
 
You must "feel" it in your bones.
 
Your actions toward it must be Instinctive and Productive.
 
These are the Qualities of a CappaDonna - The Ultimate Hustler.
 
Get your mind right, put your game-face on, and get ready to make moves...
 
Behold, there are many "young players" in The Game who have the talent and skills to move-up in Life, but instead they struggle because they are unaware of the many aspects of The Game involved on their voyage. There are also many distractions.
 
But they can succeed if they attend to the details of their Game and make sure that their Game is tight in all aspects.
 
This will also help any Player find his or her way into The Zone.
 
BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR GAME "IN CHECK"!
 
Whatever is holding you back, take time out to MEDITATE and USE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS to destroy the weaknesses in your Game.
 
Do not let these obstacles of life conquer you!
 
Admit your weaknesses and fight them with a passion!
 
BUT, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.
 
BE ABOUT IT!
 
GET YOUR HUSTLE ON AND MAKE MOVES!

 
"BELIEVE IN YOUR GAME..."
 
CONCENTRATE
 
KNOW THAT YOU SHALL PREVAIL
AND
REFUSE TO FAIL
 
DON'T LET PROCRASTINATION AND FEAR
DEFEAT YOU OR YOUR GAME.

 
Remember:
 
"You gotta stay on your Grind if you wanna Shine."
