“Don’t Hate The Player. Hate The Game”

“Some individuals look at the accomplishments of other individuals and allow themselves to become jealous. Everybody know what it takes. Everybody don’t do what it takes.” — Kevin Gates

The process of becoming better versions of ourselves comes with many benefits. Along with a boost in self-confidence and the guts to swim upstream vs with the current, you will meet resistance. You will notice most people want you to do/be good but not better than them. True colors always come to light when you begin to move in the direction of your calling. People will begin to treat you differently once you realize your worth and see you are putting a fork in anything that doesn’t serve your mission.

With this in mind, it is important to understand that although we all want success, it is the sacrifice that separates those that talk and those that act. When you are insecure in your process, you will doubt your worth and put up with things you don’t need to put up with. When you are confident in your process, every move you make will seem effortless and your boldness will be rewarded. Without sacrifice, it’s impossible to evolve into the person we were created to be.

Sacrifice comes in many forms. Whether it’s choosing sleeping through your alarm clock, cutting corners on that last lap, leaving that unhealthy relationship, choosing your happiness over others, these are all forms of sacrifice that we face everyday. If we aren’t willing to choose better for ourselves, who are we to knock the next man for taking advantage of the opportunity?

Jealousy is one of the ugliest traits a human being can have. It will have you coming up with imaginary scenarios that don’t even exist in real time. It will make you alter your perception of reality and before you know it, you’ve wasted all of your time and your potential. Instead of putting negative energy out towards people leveling up in life, use that to change your situation. Instead of complaining about what’s being done/not being done, make the change yourself and allow others to follow your example.

People are going to talk about you regardless. Whether you are doing the right thing or doing the wrong thing, people are going to talk shit. That’s what they do. What you do, is focus on your mission. Focus on what ever is in front of you and when that manifestation unfolds, it will shift the momentum in your favor. Ending friendships, relationships & habits aren’t easy but when you look up what we are exchanging for those things, better quality of life, healthier energy and true happiness, we begin to see that the sacrifice is mandatory.

To the haters: Don’t hate the player, hate the game. You being salty at my decision to boss up isn’t doing anything but making my success taste that much better. My success doesn’t depend on what you say; it depends on how hard I step on the gas. Right now the pedal is on the floor and I’m moving through all opposition. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
