This Is Your Revenge

You can do everything right...

You can treat people with respect.

You can show up for them every time they need you.

You can have a heart of pure gold.

...but at the end of the day...

Not everyone is going to like you.

Some people will even find a reason to fucking hate you.

Maybe it's jealousy.

Maybe it's insecurity.

Maybe it's because your drive reminds them of everything they refuse to do.

It's not relevant.

No matter how hard you try...

You can't fix it.

Nor should you even try to fix it.

Write their names down on a list titled: "fuck these people".

It's a necessary element of inner peace.

It isn't about holding on to hate or bitterness.

It's about acceptance...

Acceptance that their opinion of you doesn't mean shit.

Never has.

Never will.

So let them talk.

Let them project.

Let them sit on the bench while you're in the game scoring the touchdowns.

Because nothing says “fuck you” louder than building a life of greatness.

That's on you.
