The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They want to be 50 Cent or someone else. They do what everyone else does even if it doesnโt fit where and who they are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you. Youโre running away from the one thing that you own โ what makes you different. I lost that fear. And once I felt the power that I had by showing the world I didnโt care about being like other people, I could never go back.

Curtis JacksonWhen you work for others, you are at their mercy. They own your work; they own you. Your creative spirit is squashed. What keeps you in such positions is a fear of having to sink or swim on your own. Instead you should have a greater fear of what will happen to you if you remain dependent on others for power. Your goal in every maneuver in life must be ownership, working the corner for yourself. When it is yours, it is yours to lose - you are more motivated, more creative, more alive. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant, completely yourself.
