Something to ponder, "Shake them haters off - By T.D. Jakes"

A hater is someone that is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very
negative people. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark,
you will always attract some haters. That's why you have to be careful
who you share your blessings and your dreams with because some folk
can't handle seeing you blessed.

It's dangerous to be like somebody else. If God wanted you to be like
somebody else, he would have given you what He gave them. You don't
know what people have gone through to get what they have.

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story. If the grass looks greener on the other side of
the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too.
We've all got some haters among us!

Some people don't like it that you can:
Have a relationship with God
Light up a room when YOU walk in
Start your own business
Tell a man/woman to get lost (if they ain't about the right thing)
Raise children without both parents being around
And not ask for a dime from anyone

Haters don't want to see you happy. Haters don't want to see you
succeed. Haters don't want you to get the Victory! Most of our haters
are people that are supposed to be on OUR side. How do you handle the
haters who you at least expect to have your guard up against?

You can handle your haters by:
Knowing who you are and who your TRUE FRIENDS are
Having a purpose to your life By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not Human manipulation.

Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called
you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live!

When it's your time to leave this earth, you want to be able to say,
I've lived my life and fulfilled my dreams! I'm ready to go HOME! Only
the Strong Survive. When God gives you a favor, you can tell your
haters, 'Don't look at me...Look at who is in charge of me...'

Watch out for Haters. BUT most of all don't become a HATER yourself!
