Philosophy 101
A Quote by: Guro Dan Inosanto
"We are all climbing different paths through the mountain of life, and we have all experienced much hardship and strife. There are many paths through the mountain of life, and some climbs can be felt like the point of a knife. Some paths are short and others are long, who can say which path is right or wrong? The beauty of truth is that each path has its own song, and if you listen closely you will find where you belong. So climb your own path true and strong, but respect all other truths for your way for them could be wrong."
SHAKE THEM HATERS OFF!
BY BISHOP 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 enter
* Start your own business
* Tell a man/woman to get lost (if he/she 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:
1. *Knowing who you are & who your true friends are * (VERY IMPORTANT!!) 2. *Having a purpose to your life 3. *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 its 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!
When God gives you a favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at me...
Look at who is in charge of me...' Pass this to all of your family &
friends who you know are not hating on you.
If you don't get it back, maybe you called somebody out! Don't worry
about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs. Just pray for them, that
their life can be as fulfilled as yours!
Watch out for Haters...................... ......BUT most of all don't become a HATER Yourself!
“Citizenship in a Republic,"
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt, “Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
