Dont you hate haters!

Have you ever been criticized? Jabbed in the heart by a heartless moron who has no idea what they’re doing but freely dishes out the little ignorance he has occupying his massively empty brain? Yes that’s what I think critics are. They give out “pieces of their mind” until they are left with none. I know people say haters make you stronger but I strongly disagree. Haters make you weaker. They make you listen to trash about you and that soon goes into your head and you tend to think about it. Now if I remember correctly the good book says “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.” Now which category does the “haters” judgments fall under?

Frankly I think we should not think about anything a negative person with no intention of seeing you develop or progress has to say. Don’t get me wrong, there is a difference between correction and criticism. Criticism according to the dictionary is “the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes” while correction is “a change that rectifies an error or inaccuracy.” Therefore, I don’t think we should tolerate criticism, listening to people who point out your limitations instead of seeing your possibilities are not worth your ears.

Choose what to hear and who to hear it from. A lot of critics have brought us down, told us we can’t and we won’t but choose to hear from correctors who tell you why you can and how to do it. Criticism stops at the problem, correction follows through to the solution.

To live a happy progressive life, deafen the critics and turn up the correctors…. Be with those who want to see you happy then you’ll eventually be happy with those who are happy for you….

REMEMBER ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO BRING YOU DOWN IS ALREADY UNDER YOU….

WHY THE GRASS IS GREENER....

Now I know it’s been quite a while since I last blogged, well a month to be precise. But all in all it feels good to be back. During this period of much needed silence I was undergoing some pretty dramatic changes (and I seriously mean dramatic), but through it all I’ve learnt and that’s the most important thing.

Life is not smooth (I’ll tell u for free I learnt that the hard way). There will be ups and downs. Especially when you’re a routine person like me, life gets more and more interesting. I love how God plays with my predictability by shaking things up (and best believe it when He shakes things, it’s a marsh up of a tornado and earthquake). Regardless I’ve learnt to be eternally grateful for the roughing ups that happen in my life.

Now that we’ve established a little drama is good for the soul, where does the problem lie? The problem comes about when we go against the current. No change is easy, especially if it comes unexpected. And just like our body immune system, when something foreign enters us we usually try to resist. As much as this works great for the outer man, I’m afraid it doesn’t fare well with our inner man. Change is meant to result in progress, either way whether you resist it or not, change MUST happen. The best thing we can do for ourselves is give in, give in to its strong and gushing waves and when the tide dies down and the waters are calm you just might find yourself at the shores of greatness.

I’m all about taking chances, the worst thing that can happen is probably not as bad as if you didn’t try it out and hey the saying “the grass is greener on the other side” didn’t event itself, there has to be some truth in it. And maybe just maybe the grass is greener on the other side of change. Don’t fight just give in to it.

See you on the other side ;-)
