People who criticize you are projecting their own insecurities. The more you pursue your own vision, the more criticism you'll attract. Ignore it, recognize the jealousy underneath, and keep going.
Chapters
Your haters do not hate you. They hate themselves. The hate that they give you is really just an outward projection of the hate that they feel for themselves directed at you. Their self esteem is so low that they have to try to bring you down. Because by bringing you down, they're giving themselves a false sense of being better than somebody else, which makes them temporarily feel okay about their own pitiful existence. And they start off as bullies on the playground and they move up to the keyboard. Warri, you know those people, the ones that are so tough that they have to hide their insecure selves behind a keyboard. But really, we all know that no matter how old they are, they're still just that little hurting child deep down inside that's just crying for some sort of attention. Do not let that hurt little child hold you back from following your dreams. Because they look at you trying to do something great with yourself and they're jealous. They wish that they had the courage to put themselves out there like you. And here's the thing. No matter what you do, you'll never please everybody. So don't even try. It's like the quote says, I don't know the key to success, but I know the key to failure is to try to please everybody. You'll never please everyone. And the more that you become, more in line with your vision, the more successful that you become. Guess what? The more haters that you're going to get. Haters are just those little monkeys on the side of the highway to success taking their crap and flinging it at every car that speeds by. So I need you to hear you get one life. Don't let the judgment of the haters, those little keyboard warriors, the insecure little children deep down inside, hold you back from creating the life that you want. Because the truth is, they're actually jealous of you. So keep pushing forward. Keep driving down that highway of success knowing that you're going to get the crap flung at your car as you go by. But remember this. No matter what, your haters do not hate you. They hate themselves.
