Haters

They will hate you. Someone somewhere sometime will hate you. It’s going to happen some point in your life, probably several times. You can’t be nice enough if good enough if scary enough to prevent them from hating you.

Why will they hate you? So many reasons here are just a few.




They may hate you for the color of your skin, your sexual orientation, that you’re prettier than they are, more popular, less popular, your religion, that your more successful than they are, that you are a better athlete than they will ever be, that you dropped a ball, you ran a touchdown, that you write better than they ever will, that you have a happy family and they don’t, you have a bigger house than they do, better job, no job, a lot of money, very little money, your grammar doesn’t meet their standard, you’re taller, you’re shorter, too loud, too soft spoken, getting more sex than they are...The list goes on forever.

Don’t let the haters get you down or stop you from doing what you need to do, be yourself and let them hate you.  They will hate you no matter what you do just don’t let that hatred, that envy, that jealousy; do anything but let you know you are you and since the only thing you can be is yourself let them hate you. Let them eat their own hearts out with envy. Let them choke themselves on their feelings of inadequacy that they project on you. Let their jealousy blind them to their own highest truth. Let their self loathing use you as a substitute for themselves, Let their fear narrow their world and destroy their own possibility of happiness, Know that hate breeds only bitterness and failure in the end. Do not hate them back because then they own you. Don’t give them any power in your life. Don’t try to understand them because if you are doing what you’re most meant to do following your greatest and best path in your life you will have no time to hate you will be too busy living.
