Let Them Underestimate, You Know You're Great

Two things are for sure in life: 1. People will hate & 2. People will underestimate. But all of the greats know that the underestimation is needed to motivate you to go harder. There's nothing like proving somebody wrong, and having them apologize for not believing in you.

J. Cole, one of my all time favorite rappers comes to mind. Wanted to drop the album in the summer but the label didn't think they could sell it, recouped the first week I think it ain't shit they can tell us. Here's a guy with more talent and creativity than a lil bit being second-guessed, yet numbers don't lie. In so many ways your success is essentially a middle finger to all your doubters.

I've always loved the under-dogs, the ones no one bets on or roots for. The unexpected successors, and ultimately the story tellers. When people aren't checking for you it brings out a determination that only betters your craft, embrace that shit !

So don't get upset when people don't support, don't believe or see your vision. All you really need is God and yourself to make it. And those same haters will become bandwagon fans once you get on. Pay attention to your destiny, if you focus on it, it will return the favor.
