Ode to the Haters

Ok, so seriously, here we go giving recognition to the "haters"...again. I mean maybe it's just me, but when did it become cool or the new thing to do to praise people who don't like you or want you to succeed? There will always be people who are jealous of your talent, skills or blessings on your life, but you don't have to acknowledge them! I mean c'mon, Jesus had the whole world hating on Him, did you see him saying "big ups to the haters?" And what trips me out on a whole different level are the people who run their mouth the most claiming all these haters have absolutely nothing of mention going for them!! They work at Burger King with no benefits, have the oldest car in history, live in government housing or the next best thing, have four kids and three baby daddies, have a drug habit, no ambition and their highlight is balling out at Citi Trends so they can go to the club! (Yes , I know these examples are exaggerated, but you get my meaning). Welfare, government assistance, a disability check or drug money does not qualify you to be hated on! Personally, if you don't have the nice house, the luxury vehicle, the job with benefits and a salary that is ridiculous, or a lavish lifestyle, I really don't know what there is to hate on! If you were to die today, and the legacy you left behind was just some gossip, then hunny no one is hating on you, they're just stirring the pot b/c they're bored and need something to do. Do something of importance and meaning with your life, go make a difference and be a positive example to someone! If you stop spending so much time focusing on your "haters" and start focusing on your future, you might have something legitimate for someone to hate on!
