I'm also a 1st gen West Indian (Belizean). Yeah, I spent most of my life being treated like an outcast and shytted on because I wasn't like everyone else (features, personality, etc.). I always felt the same way. That's one of the reasons why I want to travel the world; I can't spend the rest of my days in the U.S. It's toxic for people like me....

Same...I moved to NYC to get away from the rough racist atmosphere of Pittsburgh...besides the lack of opportunities jobwise, there was so much there I couldn't stand. Eventually I see myself leaving the U.S. as well.

Cant say I can relate. U cant point fingers at any roadblocks, the only roadblock is yourself. Its your choice to let the roadblocks define you. Either u quit when u see the roadblock or u deal with them head on and keep it pushing. This world is cruel and cold on people with excuses so crying about your roadblocks will draw no sympathy. Jay Z had roadblocks as well.....The secret is he kept going and thats why u dont hear about them. No one wants to hear ya stories about roadblocks. We wanna hear the story about how u conquered the roadblock. And guess what? U wanna hear that story as well. U wanna tell it. Embrace those roadblocks like a weight lifter embraces weights. They will shape you into something stronger in the future if u just sweat thru them. Or you can run and hide when u see a roadblock.....Running and hiding will also shape you....It will shape u into someone who runs away from a challenge. So the choice is yours. Which option will you exercise?

I pretty much said my mainframe is what's holding a nikka back. People that are willing to help would be willing to at least hear it. This ain't an invitation to a pity party...My thing is I guess I've always been paranoid of what I'd become in the aftermath once I break thru the roadblock (one COLD individual). Then again, that right there needs to broken thru as well....

The difference between successful people and people who are just merely average is determination.

Simply put: don't ask why you haven't realized your potential; just do everything in your power to make sure that your potential is realized.

Determination, Dedication and Discipline...The 3 D's. If u dont have them, you'll never reach your goal.

It doesn't matter the discipline. Just take sports for instance; the common thread the greatest athletes all have in common is their determination, dedication and discipline where there craft is concerned - just as you've so rightly put it.

The common adage you hear about these great sportsmen is that they were usually the last one in the gym/stadium/practice field and the last one out.

It's the difference between a Ronaldo and a Balotelli, a Mayweather and a Broner, a Bryant and a Joe Johnson, a Bolt and a Powell or what have you.

Does anyone else feel they have something blocking them from reaching their full potential? Whether it's financially, mentally, physically, etc?

I feel due to my fukked-up upbringing leaving all types of negative emotions and mental framing, I have subconsciously been limiting myself my entire life. IDK if it's some sort of clinical anxiety, depression, or what. It was so bad that for a long time, I didn't really know ANYTHING else. Hell, I don't even feel as if I've experienced true happiness (ever since I was a small child, and I barely even remember that); It was always temporary due to the negativity always reminding of it's presence. I could be having a "good" day, then some shyt will enter my mind bringing me back down. It was always things like "you can't...your gonna get laughed at...your gona lose...remember what happened the other day?....etc..." Even when people would compliment me, I honestly couldn't take it seriously because I always felt I was being patronized or pitied. It's not as bad these days, but the shyt still lurks in my head. I don't know if anyone can relate, but all comments and input are welcome.....

Give in and let go for a moment. Observe everyone, everything, every area around you. Deep inside you have a good idea of why your life hasn't turned out the way you've liked but fortunately for you it's not too late because you are conscious of it.
The things that are entering your mind, are not self. The real you gets distracted by the negative energy around you. What you have to realize is all the "you can't...your gonna get laughed at...your gonna lose...remember what happened the other day?....etc..." that's not you. Internally you can tell a difference from a good thoughts and negative ones. When you give negative thoughts the room to live in your mind, you sorta give it permission to control your actions. That could lead one to living an unhealthy life and if one is consciously aware of the wrongs they continue to do, nothing will change. Good thoughts creates Good actions. You have to will and power through and you will be rewarded. You literally get what you ask for.

I dont have that problem.... probably the opposite, what I would say is that you should seek counselling because no amount of money or success will erase the feelings that you have....happiness is all about perspective..... and whatever you do dont fukk with anti depressants ..... wishing you good luck

Just to add...that process of "dealing" with your self-doubt is a continual process, just like most things are
The more dedicated you are to the process, the easier it becomes

Naw not really. I see the potential sometimes, I just need to bring it out and make it the norm
