Why Failure Made Me A Better Man.

I kinda touched on this in a podcast or two; so I'm omitting the details. Those who know KNOW and if you want deeper detail, seek out said podcats. Anyway: I find myself in a position again it took me 4 years to get back to. I walked in confident and feeling myself; expecting to make a dent in a major way. I made two huge mistakes that haunted me. Mistakes that took me 4 YEARS to face and conquer. This is my open confessional. The 1st mistake was feeling I put in the work; they should know what's up. Not in an arrogant way, I just thought I had it figured and THEY should have it figured too. Failure introduced me to the fact that the work is never over. Not the miles, not the techniques to be learned, not the evolution to your style, not anything. You will always have something that's NOT figured out. It's on you to continue to be a student, master to the best of your ability, then become a student of something else. So what, you accomplished your share? Humble yourself as you try to accomplish more than the share you were given. Nothing is figured out. My gravest and biggest mistake, however, was the second. Even at an early age; I've been made to feel wrong for who I am. How I'd speak, dress, act, come across, etc had always been overanalyzed and deconstructed in ways that made me feel uncomfortable. It wasn't until later years that I grew okay with the raw core of ME. I had to. Even being what made people "comfortable" still got me judged. So why should I value everyone else's comfort level over my own? I lived by that until the very moment it counted. Jason Ayers told me to just be who I am. Speak from the heart. He's always been the best to me; so I'm disappointed I let him down that day when the red light went on and the film was rolling. I faked it. I said what I thought they wanted to hear. I was the insecure boy from middle school all over again. I was too scared they'd reject me for who Jamar Wilson is. So I dived into being somebody else. And they still rejected me. They saw through the false bravado right down to the insecurity. They felt nothing. I felt everything. That everything was embarassment and failure. And there was no redo. Only 4 long years. 4 years of being as real as I possibly could. Shedding a gimmick and becoming a character. Trying things others wouldn't and making uncomfortablility a new home. Driving and flying anywhere that'd have me so I could call more places than Georgia home. Learning lessons that ranged from painful to euphoric. Accepting that the world wasn't always against me and that sometimes it was myself. Becoming who I needed to be. That 4 years taught me that you can want something so very bad, but what's the use in receiving what you've asked for if you're not prepared in every possible way for it? 4 years ago; I hid behind a gimmick. Didn't take my shape as serious as I could. I camouflaged instead of challenged myself. And it's for those reasons I deserved to fail. If I had somehow succeeded, I wouldn't have deserved it and I would have failed in a bigger way. So I thank life for the failure. It allowed me to travel the roads I have; to meet the people I have; to learn the lessons I have; to find myself full circle again. I very well could fail again. Then again, I could succeed beyond my wildest expectations. All that matters is that when the red light is on and they ask me to speak; it's ME they'll make the decision on. Not my gimmick or my falsehoods.....ME. I've waited 4 years for a 2nd chance for the 1st time for them to see who I really am. I definitely won't disappoint. That said; learn from your failures. You couldn't imagine how much better of a man they can make you. Love and thanks to everyone I've worked with and everyone I will work with. You added to my story; I can only hope to unfold an unreal chapter for you soon. 🤘💘😉#KANG #Confessions #4Years #FixTheMistake #REALisWhatTheyWant #GiveItToThem
