Whip Those Haters!
By: Pj Edwards
(Dedicated to Maya Angelou and all the hater whippers of the world)
A hater is a person who, either out of jealousy or feeling threatened, puts down another person who is strong, intelligent, shows great promise, possesses something that the hater does not, or any other trait that is powerful or positive.
The hater will attempt to discredit and/or discourage the powerful person with negative words or destructive actions in a feeble and eventually useless effort to keep that person down. Sometimes it may seem that the hater is succeeding in his/her efforts, and this can happen if the powerful person forgets her worth.
The powerful person must always remember and act on the fact that she knows who she is, the powerful person that God created her to be. He must know that he has the knowledge and know-how to transcend any tribulation. She must know when to use her active power to fight, and when to use her passive power to advance incognito. He must strengthen her current knowledge and constantly gain new knowledge, for knowledge is power.
Some battles are won and some are lost. You, the powerful person, must know most of all, that even in what appears to be a loss, there’s a lesson to be learned, strength to be obtained, and victory to be seized. With this knowledge, you, the powerful person, can transform every loss into a winning moment that leaves the haters squirming in your dust.
Always know that your sign as a true winner is that there will always be haters, the vultures of the human species, lurking around waiting for you to breathe your last. You may not totally be where you want to be, but at least you’re not where you once was. Look at the road and see how far you’ve come, what you got through, and what victories are waiting ahead. Rest, if you must—but not too long. DO NOT QUIT! Perseverance creates achievement.
Be the Phoenix that you are: rise from the ashes, and show those vultures that you are eternally more determined to win than they are for you to lose. Rest in the knowledge that the traps that they lay for you will eventually be the traps that will malfunction and catch them in their own demise.
SHAKE IT OFF! AND MAKE THE HATERS TAKE IT BACK!!!

Wise words that will always ring true. Haters have been around almost as long as man, and will in all probability remain here as long as man does. Do not give in to them and allow them to make you feel less than you are.
Thanks PJ for the words a lot of people need to hear, mostly the haters of the world.
Haters will always be around and we should not be surprised by their actions, nor begin to think we can control what other people do. In fact, we don't even have complete control over whether we will prevail against them, or "win". We may, in fact, lose our reputations, our wealth, our health, our friendships, and more. It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose horribly in life, and this does in fact happen to a certain portion of people - any one of us may find ourselves among them. Of these things we ultimately do not have control. But what we do control are our own values, priorities, and choices. If we focus on doing what is right, then no matter what else happens, we will have contentment in that - a contentment that is beyond the ups and downs of our material or social circumstances.
