Why You Hatin'?

To hate is to be in complete denial of one's own potential, focusing on another's degree of success, or what they currently are in possession of, instead of tipping your mental cap to him/her and their achievements in a congratulatory fashion. Why not use their accomplishments as a form of fuel to enable your mental motors to run harder toward whatever it is you always truly desire to achieve? This would make you stronger, and wise enough, to snatch something that you saw as beautiful in your Visions/Dreams and bring them into current, active reality...

I ask you "Why Hate?" "Why you hating?" You could be so much more than the person you're presently wasting time envying; you're only as much as you believe yourself to be! Food for thought:

Two people wanted to go to a concert that was coming up. The tickets were $20.00 a piece. Neither had the whole $20 right then, but they had two weeks to get it. They asked each other what was the plan to get the money. One said it was no problem because he gets $25.00 a week allowance anyway. We'll refer to him as Dude #1. The other dude wasn't as fortunate, but wanted to go, and knew dwelling on Dude #1's success wasn't going to get him in the concert, so immediately he devised a plan to get what he needed, in two weeks leading up to the concert day.

Dude #2 cut grass, raked leaves, and other odds and ends jobs accumilating $465.00, so he bought a fresh outfit, rented a nice car, and paid to be in V.I.P. with the stars they'd come to see. Dude #1 began to hate on Dude #2 talking to any and everybody who would listen, telling them how he really don't have it like that, he's just fronting. Dude #2 ended up free styling to the entertainer and they liked him so much he received a recording deal. Years later he's a top entertainer with everything he's always dreamed of, while Dude #1 ended up fat, struggling to survive, living from small check to small check with his only claim to fame being that he knows Dude#2.

Just in case you didn't catch the message... I'll shed a little light on it. In the beginning when things didn't look promising for Dude#2, he didn't waste his time hating on Dude#1 because he didn't have the burden of trying to get the money up for their combined desire. Instead he did what he had to do to make what he wanted real in his life, while Dude #1 is still wasting his life allowing fear and envy of other people's determination, courage and accomplishments to rob him of his potential.

So I ask... Why You Hating? Who are you?... What are you?.... The Hater, or the one being hated on???

Is this a disease?
