Someone once perfectly said it...something like...if your value is decided by peoples compliments, then you will be destroyed by their feedback.
I really did not really understand this quote till recently. But now, I completely get it.
I guess this is the very first time in a while that I've been told about someone 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 within me that I'm able to go to each and every day when I need them. The truth is, motivation is many things for many different people. Ideally you would like to set a very positive goal for yourself and aim towards achieving that goal. Nevertheless the fuel we must employ might actually not always be clean.
Sometimes, it's going to burn black.
I always talk of the balance of life...light and dark...especially in the soul, and I believe that we will be able to find things within ourselves which will fuel our actions whether or not the fuel itself isn't pure. I am talking about the times someone expounded something harmful, hateful, rude or merely savage in all. For some, those things can absolutely ruin their ambitions. To be honest, that really did happen many times with me. I didn't have the belief in myself yet to "do it" regardless of what anyone said.
These things that others say, in the end, aren't even really about you. I know cause I have actually been on the other side. I remember a point when I wouldn't say say good things because I hated myself. I hated that they were doing it and I could not. 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 about daily.
You can spend your life blaming others and attempting to bring other people down because you have got a useless life or you can focus upon loving yourself and others, something you absolutely and actually need in order to be a positive individual and inspire people and their dreams. In the end, spewing hate only tears you apart. Karma returns around in some way or other and takes care of business. Been there also.
You are either for other people or against them.
Be for people. Be for their dreams...that makes you a warm person within. Be for relationships. That cold heart you are harboring is only going to freeze harder and finally split into lots of pieces. Hate, jealousy, and wrath will cut you in half and you'll spend many years struggling between the loving side and the horrible side. Once again, been there. No matter what you do, others are going to not like you for some reason. They will be rubbed the wrong way, they will not like your hair, your eyes, your nose, your voice, your image...they will find some way. Don't sweat it. You are on the correct track. Because honestly, no one has ever talked trash about someone that did not mean something to them in one way or another.
Remember that. Not many are going to love peaches.
So you have to actually matter to them. So much, they have been 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 proper direction.
