I'll tell you, these past couple of months have been very hard for me. I notice that my life and business are seeing a lot more success, but at the same time, there is a lot more negativity and hate coming in a lot of different directions. Much more than I'm used to handling. I'm sure a lot of you can agree with me, but the more successful and happy you become, the more haters you get and people who want nothing more than to see you burn and fail. I noticed that after I finally pulled my company up to appear on MTV, that's when negativity really started getting heavy. I went through a couple betrayals from people I was very close to and trusted. I would get people prank calling me, and recently I even got a stalker who continues to send me harassing emails and hacks into my profile accounts. Sadly, many people let this kind of crap bring them down. When it piles up, it can really be disconcerting. There are many insecure people out there that do not want to see you succeed, and sometimes they are even your close friends. You can't let that crap get to you. Keep negative people out of your life. You don't need it. However, the ones that continue to support you no matter what are your true friends. Cherish those people for the rest of your life because they are few and far between. You'll also notice many people who ignored you and treated you like you didn't exist who all of a sudden start giving you attention and want to connect with you. F**k'em as well because they are fake. A good frame that I like to have that puts all the hate and negativity thrown at me in a positive light is this: The amount of haters I have reflects how successful I am. This is actually true. Famous or successful people almost always have a large amount of people who hate on them. So if people are actually going out of their way to try and bring you down, that clearly indicates you are up there. You have to be up in the first place for someone to try and bring you down. So for any of you that are going through a barrage of negativity from people right now because you want to get into self-improvement and people make fun of you mercilessly for it, or maybe you're even starting to see success, but people still tell you that you're nothing and will always be a loser, go tell them to eat a bowl of d**k and ignore them. Move on with your life. The only person's opinion you should care about is yourself. Only you can make yourself happy. Nobody else can. You should only need approval from yourself. It would be great if all of the world was a supportive positive place, but it ain't always that way. Still, surround yourself with positive people and rid your reality of haters and losers. They can wallow in their own insecurities. Let'em hate and you just keep on shining, homie.
