Hater, Maya Angelou....a Must Read!!

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!

When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...

That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing
you blessed...

It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?

You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

We've all got some haters among us!

Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb
(if he / she isn't about the right thing)
e) Raise your children without both parents being
in the home

Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be
on our side.

How do you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:

1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.

A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be..
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

3. By remembering what you have is by divine
prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my
life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at
me...Look at Who is in charge of me...'

Wait!!!

Is it better to go through life waiting for opportunity to knock or is it better to just open the door and see for yourself? Today we live in a society with a mentality of impatience where we automatically assume that whatever it is that we desire won't come to light unless we go forth and heavily , sometimes insanely pursue it...which in many cases is a true argument. I'm all for "grindin" to get to where you want to be, but there are some cases where the " fight" has become so drawn out that we've exhausted the possibility of winning. We start to believe that extra money won't come unless we hustle, your potential husband won't come unless you go out and date every dude out there with a pulse that seems available until you find the right one, or a certain friend won't get the message unless we constantly beat him/her over the head with our perception of their crazy actions. As we weigh the pros and cons constantly trying to force our desires , it may be better to just relax and wait your turn. Whether you believe in destiny or not, everything does comes in its due time right?. There are instances in which we have to grab opportunities when we can, yet at the end of the day, when we force something that may not be ready to evolve, the results may not be in our favor. Life has a funny way of throwing us curveballs that mask itself in the shape or form of our wants and needs ,but every opportunity to get ahead or advance in whatever way( work, education, relationships) may not always be on point.



Key message: Take it one day at a time. Whether we prefer to dwell in the bliss of ignorance or not, we can always tell when something...or someone has run its course. However just because the road has ended doesn't mean that our journey has ended as well. Sometimes we just need to relax until a new pathway forms leading to that destination that we desire. In the meanwhile, appreciate how far you've gotten on your journey thus far...theyres no turning back.
