Why You Should Love HATERS

Look out below! HATERS are EVERYWHERE!

If you're a successful person at any level, you know what I'm talking about. It seems like the more success you have, the more people try to bring you down.

I see it all the time. In professional sports, you have fans that love you when you're putting up amazing stats and winning; but the second you mess up one time, they're all of a sudden booing you, hoping they pull you and put your backup in.

You have highly successful organizations like the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. Sure, they both have TONS of fans and are good year in and year out. As many fans as they have, they probably have 10 times the amount of haters that cheer against them, game in and game out.

Any time I have had success in life, I have had haters. Haters come in all shapes and sizes, and come from some of the strangest places. The same guy that is your best friend at work when you're both associates becomes your worst enemy when you get promoted to manager. Your labelmates on your record label that will do anything for u when you're underground, but make diss tracks about you when you go major. The girls you consider your friends that love you when you date girls that are like them, but turn in to monsters when you date a girl that is clearly more attractive then they are.

I could go on and on. The point is, if you have haters, you should LOVE them! It means you're doing something RIGHT! Usually haters are people that are UNCOMFORTABLE with the amount of success YOU'RE having, because it makes them feel BAD about THEMSELVES, and/or THEY wish it could be THEM having the success!

One great example is the movie Envy with Jack Black and Ben Stiller. who are best friends in the movie, where Black makes an invention and suddenly gets really rich. This creates a strain in their relationship where Stiller is trying to get Black to live their former, normal lives, while Black is living the high life. Stiller is stuck as a HATER because he is ENVIOUS of Black's success and it makes him UNCOMFORTABLE!

Another example is CRABS. If you have ever had a bucket of crabs and tried to pull one out, all of the other ones latch onto it and try to PULL IT BACK DOWN! HATERS are alot like crabs, in that they would rather keep someone down at their level than see them rise above!

If you're a successful and driven person, get used to haters, they're not going anywhere! If listening to them motivates you towards your goals, great! If not, focus in on your goals and go towards what you want, not caring at all what ANYONE says that you CAN'T DO !

I will close with two quotes, both probably overused, but they never get old to me!

"Just do it!" Nike

"If they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up!" Kanye West

Keep Rockin,
