Hit a Wall

when you kick in to overdrive. And most people that hit that wall will finish that marathon. But you have to push past that point that you think you can't go anymore. If you're in a gym, until you hit that point, you can't do anymore. You're not really exercising. You're in there playing around. You got to hit that wall and push past it. Now, here's something about walls. In this game of life. There are walls and are obstacles. Now, a wall is something that you can't change. If you're

a man, you're going to be a man forever. If you black, you black woman, whatever, Okay, that's a wall. You cannot change that, Okay. An obstacle looks like a wall. If you black, maybe you can't be the CEO at this company because it's always been white. That looks like a wall, but it's not truly a wall. We thought there was a wall that can never be a black president. Obviously Barack Obama proved differently. A wall looks like a wall. If you're a woman, you think, oh, I can't achieve

this because it's never been done by a woman. It looks like a wall, but it's not. It's just an obstacle. You have to figure out how to pass that obstacle. Now I figured out how to pass the obstacles. There may be somebody like yourself that has already passed that obstacle. So, in other words, say you're a young kid and you don't think you can make it past that. But you get to the obstacle and you look on the other

side of the obstacle and there's another kid. You want to work at Google, there's another kid that had passed that obstacle. They have the game. So you say, oh, I want to be on network television like Iced Tea. But it's impossible. No, I've already passed the obstacle. So it's not a wall, it's an obstacle. How do you get there? Ask me and I'll tell you here's the problem. You may not want to do all the steps it takes past that obstacle. You want the shortcut. Is there

a tunnel? Is there a secret passage? No? No, not. Simply have to do it the way I did it. I've had people tell me, well, how'd you get into acting? Well, I didn't even really study acting. I got taken out of music because I was successful in music. Oh so you got in a shortcut. Well, if you feel you want to take that shortcut, go sell ten million records.

See it's no shortcut. What I did was I raised my visibility up and another genre to where this other genre strove and said maybe he can apply his fan base to this genre. But it still was a lot of work entail. It took many, many years. You know. So you will hit a wall. First, understand that sometimes it's just a wall where you just think a place you've never been. But understand most of them aren't really walls.

They're obstacles, and obstacles can be passed. And if you want to learn, maybe find someone who has already passed that obstacle, and they'll give you the game if they choose. To some people, once they get over that obstacle, they're like, nah, it took me too hard to get over this. Motherfucker. Fuck you. I ain't telling you. Figure it out for yourself. Now you're backing hustles, Mo hustles, don't complain. Figure it out. That's how the game is played. This has been another

ice cold fact from me, ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that it's okay to hit the wall.
