    your additional thoughts on the fear of success is the single best i've ever heard about what that might really mean. Like folks will hear that and say how can you fear success? isn't that what you want? to elevate? be financially free... etc? But the loss of relationships, proximity to others and things you are familiar with, the literal transformation within and of yourself that must occur so you can attain said success is what's really the hard work and what feels like everything is at stake. This video is a hit. Double platinum on my recommended. Keep going Alex!!

    I just found your channel.... I only watched one video before this, but it's funny... The comment I literally just left on that video is that YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS. Seriously!! Go check it. You are not an imposter and it was very evident to me on that FIRST video I just watched, that you are exactly where you are supposed to be with this RUclips thing. You're beautiful, cool, clever, a hustler, real, and super helpful.... And I dunno about everyone else, but I say you are great and we haven't even seen the peak of how far you will go yet. Congratulations on your successes, you deserve all of it... For being exactly who YOU are. 💪 👑 Keep up the great work! WE SEE YOU!

    Jealousy is not a bad emotion. You acknowledging the feeling and doing something about it is what's important. So many of us black girls were taught that jealousy is bad, I mean, it's not the best emotion but it's an emotion us humans feel and we can use that emotion and turn it into motivation, inspiration. Thank you for sharing this video ❤ I think I'm afraid of success too!!

    I have to tell you, Alex, you are definitely my new absolute favorite of all RUclips ever🎉 I stumbled upon your channel today and I have binge watched it every since and I have never commented on anyone’s stuff. Maybe once when I first started watching RUclips, which is about a year and a half ago I thought that RUclips was just for teenagers like mine watching people play video games. Well our stories are similar. I’ll keep it short but I absolutely love you hit every every every point that I know, and have been struggling with in this video right here, and you are brave, you are the shit to me and I have now gained the courage to finally do something things is so true I am so creative. I have so many things. Oh my God, I can create everything. I would love you to see my office , I am an empty Nester. My only child is a freshman in college and no more to make excuses. I have nothing but the world at my fingers and I needed to hear this. I needed it now and I need it every single last syllable thank you again! I don’t know , something where I can get some advice from you of how I can kick this off because I am always the loudest the most outgoing event, planner decorator party girl ever & I’ve been terrified to do the RUclips channel and I just been scared of success and more,,know that it’s just so much I could say you have brought it out of me! My bases for my channel was, and has always just been for me to speak very real of candy and raw and know that there are people out there going through the same thing, but you were brave enough to do it and I literally have just got my bubble burst by you if that makes it I don’t know you have a great day. I don’t know where you’re from. I gotta go back and watch the beginning 😂

    I was right with you that "afraid of success" but I had to start writing down my affirmations with they were true or not. God has really shifted how I see myself and my business. It's only up from here. Loved this video!

    Same here, I feel like that at times, like so scared to do better. My dream is to make my cards my business So many people love my cards and say they are odd and beautiful, and I should start my business. My manager asked me what was I doing there with the talent that I have. I am now working things out. Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. Take care.

    Your video just hit my algorithm, I'm subscribing immediately because your raw real truth about jealousy and all those uncomfortable emotions we don't want to admit that we ALL have, your raw real truth is refreshing on the internet-the internet lacks real raw truth. I admire your courage to be real instead of pretending and being fake. When we are honest then healing can begin! Damn I just finished watching and it got even better! I recently had to cut someone off because she was jealous and holding me back, always undercutting me. I'd talk about wanting to do my art again and she'd interrupt me mid sentence to talk about something completely different. You're right-some of those people do not deserve access to us! I'm saving this video as a reminder! Excellent confessions-thank you thank you!

      Shout out to you for having the discernment of cutting that “friend” off. Real friends don’t tear you down so I agree that you did the right thing

    I have looked at some of your videos and you are very professional and know your stuff. The thing, i see after looking at you this video...I think you are afraid of your on success sweetheart. We all pretty much equipped for success but it depends how we utilize our skill sets'. It is all in the head. We can really get in our way including myself, OK. Go and get your Monte Honey, please don't worry about those haters, OK. I truly understand the hood, that Corporate thing. That's a mess in it self, that's' why you got keep it pushing so you can escape that world. Good Luck

    My biggest struggle is feeling like everything I come up with is a waste of time because others are already doing it, doing it better and there's no point in my trying. Do I give up and don't try.

    • @DefinedByAlex
      @DefinedByAlex  Год назад

      I can totally relate, a lot of us have the same interest which I think is how we build community but being different at the same time is where I’d like to stand out
