C33 pretty much got it spot on.
Some people will dislike successful people, simply because it threatens them. They will feel intimidated by you, instead of realising this intimidation is their own issue they will blame you for it.
Some will hate you from jealousy. They will create in their mind that you got all the lucky breaks not them and that you don't deserve success but they do etc. etc.
When we here all know that succes is not luck at all but about focus, action and intention.
Almost every great person from human history has been hated, feared, humiliated along their path. Jesus was hated, Ghandi was hated, Even Mother Theresa had her own haters. If the most benevolent and kind people to have ever lived could be hated I wouldn't get too stressed about your inlaws and neighbors getting grumpy because you retired 20 years before they did.
Because while they were watching TV, you were working towards that goal. Worrying about what other people will think/say/do is one of the number 1 things that stops people becoming successful.
For your own sake live YOUR life, not theirs. If you become successful and any people decide to hate you, it's because of their own fears, not because you have suddenly become a 'bad person'.
Do not let others hold you back because they are too afraid to try. |
