Why Hate?? Motivate

“If you have ‘haters’ that means you must be doing something right.”
The word “hater” has become used loosely lately, it seems everyone has them. The true definition of haters is people who envy you simply because you do you, and do it so well. For example, all through high school girls hated on me simply because I hung with the boys. Girls spread rumors about me and my name was dragged through the dirt. At first I didn’t understand why these girls didn’t like me, because I got along with everybody.  I later found out it wasn’t meant for me to understand, they simply envied me for no reason, which made them haters. Being young and defensive, I responded to hate with violence, and found myself fighting unnecessary battles. My mom sat me down and said, “Brenae fighting these girls is not going to solve the problem. You can’t change the way people feel about you, all you can do is continue to do you. If they hate on you, you must be doing something right.” So I used the hate, envy, and jealousy as a motivation to keep on going. Instead of getting mad, I got it together. People hate on you with the intentions of seeing you react and eventually get caught slipping. I take the hate, put it under my feet, and step my game up. Dealing with haters taught me how to turn negative scenarios into positives ones. Someone is going to hate on you one time or another, you just need to know how to flip the script.Turn criticism, discouragement, rumors, and judgment into motivation. Instead of letting it get to you and weigh on your shoulders, use it as an inspiration to do better. Besides, anyone should be flattered that they were someone elses topic of conversation. You must hold some importance in their life.
