On Being Hated

It would be nice if everyone just got along…

But the truth is, there are people out there who won’t like you.

Maybe your light shines too brightly for them. Maybe they don’t like what you stand for. Maybe they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Here’s some food for thought, though…

Nobody cancels losers. Nobody throws rocks down, they always throw them up… You don’t see the people who are doing good things and being prosperous canceling people or condemning them.

It takes courage to be disliked… which is the topic of this YouTube video:

I’ve learned that when you step out, speak up, and aren’t afraid to be who you are…

Basically, when you let yourself shine… 

You’re going to attract both those who want the light, and those who are threatened by it.

Being hated isn’t a surprise… it’s part of success. Don’t let the haters snuff out your light!
