HATERS

WHY DOES IT SEEM …..

That moment when you FINALLY MUSTER UP ALL YOUR COURAGE, you step out, and finally DO THE THING (with imperfect action might I add) that you KNOW you are being led to do, this happens….

HERE THEY COME…..

YOUR HATERS.

It’s like they came out of the woodworks & now their loud opinions are being amplified every time you turn around. You heard nothing but crickets…not a single thing when you were just sitting there in your comfort zone. Staying safe. Waiting to speak up. Your critics had NOTHING to say when Y-O-U weren’t fully utilizing your gifts. BUT the moment you step out…..here comes your worst critics!!

I just have to laugh now…because I have learned how to deal with most of them. I have learned the truth of what’s really going on that’s causing the CRAZY & THE HATE to come right up out of their mouths like daggers aimed right at you.

Here is what I’ve learned & how to deal with your worst critics…

FIRST- you have to understand some of your worst critics…aren’t necessarily angry at you. They are actually deep down frustrated with themselves. See, YOU, going after your assignment & living a life of abundance…it exposes the reality in their life of where they have “left some things on the table”. They have settled for being comfortable in some areas. It often provokes them to jealousy. Maybe they are critical because they wish you’d just stay the quiet, average person you always have been. Maybe going after your GOD given dreams is a threat to them??

I WANT TO CHAMPION YOU in YOUR DIVINE ASSIGNMENT!

SOOOO…..Here’s what you need to do to SILENCE YOUR LOUDEST CRITICS….

1. KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT for your assignment!

You’ll have to take risks & step out to get breakthrough. Stepping out often exposes our LOUDEST CRITIC.

AND…NEWS FLASH!! Many times it is YOU! I’ve had to confront myself many times & realign myself with truth. Ha! What I mean by this is,…we often hit “REPEAT” in our thought life and play “a broken record” of negative thoughts all day long subconsciously. We UNDERESTIMATE WHO OUR GOD IS & what He can do in and through us when we partner with HIM! First expose WHO your worst critics are (including yourself) so you can identify the negative sources currently TOO LOUD in your life.

2. CHANGE WHO & WHAT YOU LISTEN TO!

Fill your mind with the truth of who you are and what your assignment is!! Stay focused. Get reading materials, listen to podcasts, hire mentors…whatever you need to do to get your mind into the truth zone.

3. PUT UP BOUNDARIES. I CAN’T STRESS BOUNDARIES ENOUGH!

Spending time with TOXIC people can de-rail you, drain you, emotionally frustrate you. It can rob you of JOY & energy. It can change your thinking. Put up healthy, clear boundaries with people….even if it needs to just be for a short season. Don’t tolerate your dreams being stolen by their negative words or their toxic lifestyle.

In the pursuit of following your dreams and living a thriving & brave life, it is so important to start here & then keep on walking forward.

KEEP stepping into your assignment & leave the haters behind! It is worth it!
