"It's Better to be Feared than Loved."


Sometimes I really wish I could live by this quote.  I really do.  There's a lesson that everyone has to learn in life and it takes longer for some than others.  I'd like to think that being a good person and helping others will earn you respect but the truth is, some people will never respect you.  Some people will never like you and never treat you the way you deserve to be treated, no matter what you do.  The trick is to not let it affect you or your happiness.

When it's all said and done, you are in control of your happiness.  The world is going to keep turning and people are going to react to you based on what's going on inside their own heads.  Keep doing the things that make you happy and being the person you know you're supposed to be.  Some people will love and support you no matter what you do, others will belittle you out of their own jealousy.  So why should that bother you?  Because it's human nature.  We want everyone to love and respect us but it'll only kill us if that's what our happiness is based on.

This has always been a big problem for me.  But the nice thing is, I'm aware of it!  YEAH!  That's always the first step, recognizing the problem.  So I'm focusing on shaking off all of the hate and the jealousy that comes at me.  Because it's trying to keep me down and I can't let it!  I'm on the path to much bigger things and I'm not stopping.  So if there's anything I can say to you today to help you or inspire you to live a better life and be a happier person, it's to never let anyone else bring you down!

Keep your head up.  Let them fear you because of your ambition and drive.  Who knows, one day they just might love you for it!

Love, 
Kimberly
