Tale of the Haters

If you're doing something productive and positive, having haters is a consequence.  Think about every person you admire or look up to.  You've heard several negative things about them, in spite of their success.  For those of you who don't know, a hater spends an excessive amount of time speaking negatively about you.  They hope to look bigger and better than they really are.  In addition, they tell everyone they know about you.  This can definitely be quite nerve wrecking.  No fear!!!  I've developed a list of the top 3 pros and cons of haters.

Pros

1.  Promotion- You are getting free promotion.  The hater isn't smart enough to know that the majority of the people they speak to see right through them.  These people will do their research on you to gain their own opinion.  In terms of music, you are getting potential fans.  Fans turn into money!!!

2.  Confirmation- Your haters tend to be more active and the amount you have grows when you're obtaining success.  Your success is the topic of their conversation.  The more you succeed, the more in depth their conversations will be.


3.  Entertainment- This would probably be my favorite one.  The things they do are hilarious.  Personally, one of mine contacted one of my bff's to get to me.  Hilarious!  If this hater would devote the same amount of time to education, music, and self improvement, their success level would exponentially increase.

Cons

1.  Annoying- They are very annoying.  They pop up at the most inopportune times.  Their actions and words aren't educated.  In other words, they remind me of roaches or flies.

2.  Lack of common sense- Common sense isn't very common.  If it were, your haters would know that their actions don't stop anything.  In most cases, the more they hate, the more successful you become.  If I were a hater and didn't see effects of my hatred, I may choose another occupation.  Unfortunately, this type of thinking requires COMMON SENSE!!!

3.  Insecurity- Your haters don't like themselves.  The primary reason is because they're not you.  They don't act, walk, talk, or look like you.  The old saying, "Misery loves company" is very true.  Because of the way they see themselves, they must direct attention away from them.  A hater thinks that people will see them in a better light if they darken yours.  If the hater was comfortable with themselves, then they wouldn't wear the title of HATER!

So, embrace your haters.  Use them as a catalyst!  Continue to be successful!
