Someone once expounded it...something like...if your value is determined by peoples compliments, then you also will be annihilated by their deep criticisms.
I really did not truly understand this quote right until recently. But now, I completely get it.
I guess this is the first time in a very long time that I've heard about someone in particular saying bad things about me behind my back. For a second, it rocked me. For the minutes to hours after, it fueled me. I put those comments in a special place inside me that I'm able to go to each and every day when I need them. The honest reality is, incentive is many things for many different types of people. Ideally you would want to set a very positive goal for yourself and work towards achieving that goal. However , the fuel we must burn may not always be clean.
Honestly, it might sometimes burn black.
I often talk about the balance of life...light and dark...especially within the soul, and I suspect that we can find things within ourselves that will fuel our actions whether or not the fuel itself isn't pure. I am of course talking about the times somebody expounded something harmful, horrible, rude or simply savage in all. For some, those things can positively ruin their ambitions. To be honest, that happened many times with me. I did not have the belief in myself yet to "do it" no matter what anybody expounded.
These things that people say, in the final analysis, truly aren't even actually about you. I know cause I have been on the other side. I can recollect a point when I could not say good things because I loathed myself. I abhorred that they were doing it and I couldn't do it. I hated everything about that person because they could make the sacrifices...they had the willpower...they were actually...doing what I had always dreamed of.
You can spend your life blaming others and making an attempt to bring other people down because you have got a useless life or you can focus on loving yourself and others, something you do truly need to be a positive individual and inspire people and their dreams. In the final analysis, spewing hate only tears you apart. Karma really does come around in one way or another and takes care of business. Been there also.
You are either for others or against them.
Be for other people. Be for their dreams...that makes you a warm person inside. Be for relationships. That cold heart you are harboring is only going to freeze harder and finally divide into lots of pieces. Hate, jealousy, and anger will cut you in half and you may spend a boatload of years fighting between the loving side and the horrible side. Once more, been there. No matter what you do, other people are going to not like you for whatever reason. They will be rubbed the wrong way, they will not like your hair, your eyes, your nose, your smell, your image...they will find a way. Don't sweat it. You are on course. Because honestly, no one has ever talked trash about someone that did not mean something to them in some way or other.
Remember that. Not everyone is going to enjoy peaches.
So you must really matter to them. So much, they are taking time out of their day to talk about you. What an honor.
So cheers...haters...I tip my cap to you. I must be headed in the right direction.
