Somebody once expounded it...something like...if your value is determined by everyones compliments, then you will be demolished by their criticisms.
I really did not truly understand this quote until recently. But now, I actually get it.
I guess this is the very first time in a long time that I have heard about someone in particular 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 day when I need them. The honest reality is, inspiration is many things for many different people. Ideally you would wish to set a positive goal for yourself and aim towards achieving that goal. Nonetheless the fuel we must employ may not always be clean.
Honestly, it might sometimes burn black.
I mostly talk of the balance of life...light and dark...especially within the soul, and I think that we can find things deep down inside ourselves that may fuel our actions whether or not the fuel itself isn't pure. I am of course talking about the times people recounted something malicious, hateful, rude or merely savage in all. For some, those things can positively ruin their ambitions. To be truthful, that really did happen many times with me. I really did not have the belief in myself yet to "do it" no matter what anybody declared.
These things that others say, at the end, are not even truly about you. I know cause I have actually been on the other side. I remember a point when I could not say very nice things because I hated myself. I detested that they were doing it and I could not. I abhorred 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 people down because you have a crappy life or you can focus on loving yourself and others, something you do truly need in order to be a positive individual and inspire others and their dreams. At the end, spewing hate only tears you apart. Karma really does come around in some way or other and takes care of business. Been there too.
You are either for other people or against them.
Be for others. Be for their dreams...that makes you a warm person inside. Be for relationships. That cold heart you are harboring is only going to freeze harder and eventually split up into tons of pieces. Hate, hurt, and wrath will cut you in half and you'll spend a boatload of years fighting between the loving side and the hateful side. Once more I have been there. Regardless of what you do, other people are going to not like you for some unknown reason. They will be rubbed the wrong way, they won't like your hair, your eyes, your nose, your smell, your image...they will find some way. Don't sweat it. Your true self is on course. Because nobody has ever talked trash about someone that actually did not mean something to them in some way or other.
Remember that. Not everybody is going to enjoy peaches.
So you have to really matter to them. So much, in fact, they have been 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 right direction.
