There’s always one rotten apple on the tree. In fact more often than not, there’s more than one. Haters. Where ever achievers go you can be damned sure they follow like moths to a flame. Allow me to fill you in on a little secret. I don’t hate haters I pity them.
Surprised?
Wondering why?
Before you fall off your chair, keep reading. I’ll explain.
You see, haters are really just confused admirers. They don’t really hate you as a person. Let’s face it, half the time they don’t know you well enough to dislike you on a personal level.
They hate on you because of what you’ve achieved or are in the process of achieving. They hate your guts. They’re afraid of the fact that you’re doing something they lacked the guts and drive to do.
When someone can’t do something themselves, they feel inadequate and inferior. They become miserable and as a result try to sabotage other people’s success. The rational being, “I’m miserable and haven’t achieved my goal, why should others achieve it.” They try and hinder your efforts.
When you look at it a little deeper and from their perspective they don’t really hate you, they actually hate themselves and their failures. Instead of getting back up and trying again, they give up and attempt to prevent others from achieving.
My definition of a hater:
H- Hopeless
A- Ashamed
T- Terrified
E- Everywhere
R- Ridiculous
So the next time a hater gets you down, remember, they don’t hate you, they’re just jealous of what you’ve achieved or are achieving, because they couldn’t do it themselves. Never let them stop you. STAY STRONG AND STAY SHARP.
PRIDE AND CONVICTION
How very true. Good insight.
It’s just the way some people are unfortunately. Ultimately only you can change your life. No one else can do it for you.
Well said.Very true.
Pity the haters!! Some get better with a little help, others are beyond help and best left alone.
Never stop in the “Pursuit of happiness.”
Good point, Unfortunately there’s more that are beyond help than in need of it. When you break it down the only person that can help you is yourself. If you can’t help yourself then you’re not worthy of any help from anyone else. It’s a pitiful state.
Excellent article as always. The article has been excellently expressed as to what a hater is. Hopefully it would inspire or help those haters that come across this article to make them become more positive.
Rather than being stuck in a hole, they should strive to get out and aspire to their desire, instead of being negative.
A word on WARRIOR 101. Brilliantly explained, simple to understand. An excellent book for anyone who is interested in fitness and good health.
WELL SAID. GREAT COMMENT. You’ve got a great insight into the typical hater mentality and a weak mindset at that.
Always appreciate feedback on WARRIOR 101. Do keep me updated with your progress.
I’m glad to see someone understands the true meanings of things.. Although I can’t say I haven’t felt the haters feelings before. I’m guilty of this from time to time and I usually try and stop to understand the way I think to better myself and be more positive towards life
You said it brother. It’s great to hear from you. I used to get pissed when people would point fingers and try to stall my efforts. Then it hit me.
The majority of them were miserable because they wanted to achieve in the same areas, but felt they couldn’t. They essentially held themselves back.
Sometimes we’re our own enemy. Human nature is such unfortunately, that a lot of the time if people can’t do something themselves, they don’t see why others should.
Anyways, I don’t resent them, they’re human at the end of the day. We all make mistakes and fall off the wagon from time to time, only difference is, some climb back on and try again, while others get disheartened and give up.
Keep your chin up and mind steady and you’ll find you’ll be able to accomplish near enough anything you desire.
