A hater is someone who derives joy from witnessing your failure, they enjoy seeing you fail, and playing on their terms is a no-win situation for you.
Your haters will only be happy if you are failing, pleasing them is obviously self-destructive. This is not nearly as self-destructive, however, as keeping haters on your “home team” and succeeding despite their hatred.
In this case, they will be forced to step up their hate game until they end your season for good. A hater is a threat to any and every positive move you make toward success because your success threatens his or her joy.
Honestly, many people feel that they can simply avoid or ignore those who might harm them.
In their time of indecision, these people find their plan for haters is no plan at all, which often leaves them wide open to attacks.
Haters, if you let them, will make themselves at home in your mind, keeping you stuck in self-doubt and far from success. And yet, you must make your haters a part of your success plan.
They are waiting for you to quit, waiting for you to admit that they were right all along about you. Are you going to let them have the satisfaction?
Your haters are always on standby waiting to stand over you after you have fallen from the mountain which they were too frightened or too lazy to climb.
Will you sit still for this? Your haters are trying to take food off your table and give you a backhanded slap on the way out. Will you stand for it?
On the days when the purpose of your mission is not enough to get you up, think about your haters. They’re not right about you!
They have no business standing over your game! And if they try to take what is yours, you’ll take it back, because it’s like that!
Use your haters to get back on your game. Steal your haters’ joy by staying on a winning path.
No one wants to think about haters. We would all rather ignore them and go about our business. However, if you love your greatness, you will make sure that nothing ever stands in your path.
Just put all that hatred to good use!
