Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

This is long, but it's MAYA, for heaven's sakes! :)
(Sidebar: I was actually researching for a story I'm writing and stumbled across this. IT IS POWERFUL! )
DEFINITION OF A HATER BY MAYA ANGELOU January 27, 2010 A hater is someone who 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 to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters…That’s why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams, 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! Right? You never 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! People envy you because you can: Have a relationship with God Light up a room when you walk in Start your own business Tell a man / woman to hit the curb (if he / she isn’t about the right thing) Raise your children without both parents being in the home Haters can’t stand to see you happy, Haters will never want to see you succeed, Haters never want you to get the victory, most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side. How do you handle your undercover haters? You can handle these haters by: Knowing who you are & who your true friends are *(VERY IMPORTANT!!) Having a purpose to your life? 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. By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human manipulation. 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,… Now I’m ready to go HOME! When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, Don’t look at me…Look at Who is in charge of me…’ |
Oh dear, not that I disagree of course who would...but me being rather 'haterish' in my own haterish way...I MUST take offense. No quote no poetry just me, thank you, that is all.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
The power of imagination makes us infinite The mountains are calling and I must go. When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. [he put himself out there with tree during storms, to experience what tree knew of storm]. John Muir |

"We should take care, in inculcating patriotism into our boys and girls, that is a patriotism above the narrow sentiment which usually stops at one's country, and thus inspires jealousy and enmity in dealing with others... Our patriotism should be of the wider, nobler kind which recognises justice and reasonableness in the claims of others and which lead our country into comradeship with...the other nations of the world. The first step to this end is to develop peace and goodwill within our borders, by training our youth of both sexes to its practice as their habit of life, so that the jealousies of town against town, class against class and sect against sect no longer exist; and then to extend this good feeling beyond our frontiers towards our neighbours."~
Robert Baden-Powell |
"We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too."
Maíread Corrigan-Maguire Nobel Peace Prize winner and co-founder of the Community of Peace People in Northern Ireland. |

If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy.

Quotes from my Grief Share Meeting...
"Joy scatters a hundred griefs." A Chinese Proverb
"Giving up doesn't mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go." Unknown Author |
Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
~ Anthony Robbins |
You have a unique message to deliver, a unique song to sing, a unique act of love to bestow. This message, this song, and this act of love have been entrusted exclusively to the one and only You.
~John Powell |
Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God's final word on where your lips end. - Jerry Seinfeld
I'm not sure I agree 100%, Jerry. Lip color matters. I'm with you on the rest, though. :lol2: |
