Somebody once said it...something like...if your value is determined by peoples compliments, then you will be demolished by their criticisms.
I didn't completely understand this quote till recently. But now, I actually 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 will go to each day when I need them. The honest reality is, motivation is many things for many different people. Ideally you would want to set a positive goal for yourself and work hard towards achieving that goal. Nonetheless the fuel we must burn might actually not always be clean.
Often, it's going to burn black.
I always talk about the balance of life...light and dark...especially within the soul, and I believe that we can find things deep down inside ourselves that will fuel our actions even if the fuel itself isn't pure. I am of course talking about the times somebody recounted something malicious, horrible, rude or merely hurtful in all. For some, those things can completely ruin their ambitions. To be honest and truthful, that occurred many times with me. I really did not have the belief in myself yet to "do it" regardless of what anyone expounded.
These things that people say, at the end, aren't even truly about you. I know cause I have been on the other side. I remember a point when I couldn't say very nice things because I hated myself. I detested 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 about.
You can spend your life blaming people and making an attempt to bring other people down because you've got a rubbish life or you can focus on really loving yourself and others, something you absolutely and actually need so as to be a positive thinking person and motivate other people and their dreams. At the end, spewing hate only tears you apart. Karma comes back around in some way or other and takes care of its business. Been there too.
You are either for people or against them.
Be for others. 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 at last split up into hundreds of pieces. Hate, jealousy, and envy will cut you in half and you may spend many years fighting 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 unknown reason. They'll be rubbed the wrong way, they will really not like your hair, your eyes, your nose, your scent, your image...they will find anything. Don't sweat it. Your true self is on course. Because nobody has ever talked trash about someone who failed to mean something to them in some way.
Remember that. Not many are going to love peaches.
So you must truly matter to them. So much, they are taking time out of their day to talk about you. What a distinction.
So cheers...haters...I tip my cap to you. I must be headed in the correct direction.
