I am tempted to insert something deep & meaningful here, but my tendency towards blunt honesty will not allow it. The sad truth is that people do not tend to delight in our Successes the way we dream of....even people who you are sure care about you and want the best for you may sometimes surprise you. Should you Hate them? Live out the remainder of your days isolated from such negativity in the caves of Timbuktu?
NO! - and if for no other reason then that you will be giving the Haters exactly what they want! Instead thank them. Then harness that energy- whatever that is for you (anger, disappointment, sadness) and transform THAT into the fuel you need to make your wildest dreams come true! And when you succeed- be sure to Thank your Haters. (It is important to give credit where credit is due, besides it will drive them insane!)
Do yourself a favor and teach yourself this skill now! You are not in Kindergarten & this is no Little House on The Prairie! No-one gets a gold star for pretending they believe you can accomplish grand things. In fact, when you declare to yourself and the World that you are about to make huge Life changes- people are going to laugh. (if you are lucky, you will be one of them!) Let them laugh- the Universe won't be laughing, it will be shoring up resources to meet you at the Inner Strength that is YOU. Use this and your belief in what you are made of to Power you to Success.
I have become so adept at this that these days I find it difficult to achieve Grand Schemes in the absence of My Haters. ( I now understand the War Cry "where My Hater's At?") Our relationship has become symbiotic. Without their mocking I start to question if my Grand Schemes are somehow too realistic or easily attainable. And because Gratitude is good for the Soul- why not start out the day with a heartfelt Thank You to your Haters? No need for names (oh, they know who they are).

I think most people take hate as a bad thing, not a reason to do better or soak up the fact that people care about what they do. So i like this post
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you, Jade. This is a perfect way to turn a negative into an amazing positive.
