This week on JUST ASK JUSTINE I thought I would address a term that is thrown around and is now apart of our everyday jargon.
This reflection was sent to me in a email from a young woman living in Columbia, South Carolina.
Just some food for thought…..
What Exactly Is A "Hater"?
A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time
trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very
negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough!
When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...That's
why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your
dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed... It's
dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like
somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?
You never know what people have gone through to get what they have...
The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can
rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!
We've all got some haters among us! Some people envy you because you can:
* Light up a room when you walk in
* Start your own business
* Tell a man / woman to hit the curb (if he / she isn't about the right thing)
* Raise your children without both parents being in the home
* Haters can't stand to see you happy
* Haters will never want to see you succeed
* Haters never want you to get the victory
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side. How do
you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:
*Knowing who you are & who your true friends are *(VERY IM PORTANT!!)
*Having a purpose to your life
* Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called
you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
*By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human
manipulation.
Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your time
to leave this earth, you "want" to be able to say, "I've lived my life
and fulfilled "my" dreams,...
Watch out for Haters....................BUT most of all don't become a HATER!
Remember if no one told you they love you today I do
Always, Justine |
