Haters

The best thing about haters is that
they help us to heal our childhood wounds.

Every time they come our way, 

we get another opportunity to love ourselves
in the heart of their contempt. 

Where before attack and criticism triggered us into hiding, 

we now hear ourselves ROAR! 

With readiness.

You can't bring your voice to the world
without triggering others. 

You can't humanifest your gifts
without igniting someone's jealousy. 

You can't find your light
without pissing someone off.

It comes with the territory. 

So, ROAR in the face of the light-dimmers. 

ROAR!
