Here’s the truth: we never really understand our potential until we are forced to push to our furthest potentials. This is never more evident than Freestyle rapping. Freestyle wrapping is an art form of Hip Hop that allows the artist to tell a story through recited poetry. The verses that are usually performed are not written, but created on the spot.  The ability to do this, and do it well is a skill that few have. It allows the artist to express themselves while they create their impact through their words. In order to be great at this art form, one must practice for countless hours and constantly look for new words to use that will better develop their story.  
Throughout this life we go through too many ups and downs to count.  In order to conquer the various difficulties, we must be willing to be stretched to our furthest potential. Regardless of what our talent is that we are trying to develop, or whatever career we are trying to find success in, we will have to be stretched t our furthest potential.
Throughout this freestyle, I discuss my desire to leave my past behind and begin something new. I realize that in order to better myself, I could no longer pile the negative thoughts and expectations that have been handed to me over the years. I needed to fill my life with thoughts and expectations on myself. When it comes to expectations, it seems that we all face difficulties and it seems that there are always people who force their negative thoughts on us. In those times, we must throw those thoughts and expectations away and we must build up the positive thoughts.
Throughout the years that I’ve learned about myself I realized that I have great potential, but I realize that I need to keep searching for my potential and actually reaching for my potential. I am thankful that God has blessed me with the talents. I am now in a place where I must work hard for the potential to grow. I must practice my skill as well as allowing my writing, rapping and poetry to be experienced by the audience.
What are your areas of potential? What are you doing to reach your potential? What are you working hard to fulfill your dreams? I understand that we all have our goals and I believe that we should do the hard work to fulfill our dreams.
Have you eliminated the negative thoughts and expectations in order begin your journey to reach your potential? Have you allowed yourself to speak some positive thoughts and expectations in your life?
