Haters come in various forms. There are the haters that are easy to spot because they will flat out say that you can't do something and not support you. On the other hand, there are those who pose as "friends" giving good advice. Those are the more sneaky ones because they will give you an excuse as to why you can't be successful in order to plant a seed of doubt which eventually turns into self-destruction. They may even be delusional enough to think that they are helping you out, but the reality is they want you to fail. Here's a personal example that happened to me today and inspired me to write this post. Someone very close to me told me that with the way the economy is today, I shouldn't expect to live my dream. They said I should just stay working for the corporation that I currently work for because I'll be more secure that way. Now maybe they thought it was good advice because they made mistakes and they wished someone had told them the same thing when they were younger, however that was unsolicited BAD advice! Excuse me?!? Who in God's precious green Earth told you to make up excuses for me as to why I shouldn't go after my dreams? If I wanted to, I could make excuses myself but I don't; therefore, I don't need anyone to do it for me. I believe that no matter what adversities life may through your way, if it was meant to be then it is going to be.
Here's a word of advice for the Night Crawlers out there: If you have people like that around you, don't let them know your aspirations, and don't let them too close into your life. Misery loves company, and they want you to be their guest of honor. Be aware of the people you let in your personal life, even if it is family. Believe it or not, not everyone has the best intentions for you just because you are related. I realize that saying that might pluck some feathers, but it is true. Replace them with people who genuinely care about you and your goals. If you surround yourself with positive energy you will create an environment of growth.
Or in other words, as Kevin G. put it (
insert Mean Girls quote here), "don't let the haters stop you from doin' your thang."
