Not Everybody Likes Peaches

By Evan Sanders


Somebody once said it...something like...if your value is determined by peoples compliments, then you will also be annihilated by their deep criticisms.

I did not completely understand this quote till recently. But now, I completely get it.

I suspect this is the first time in a while that I have heard about someone in particular saying bad things about me behind my back. For a second, it rocked me. For the minutes to hours after, it fueled me. I put those comments in a special place within me that I will go to every day when I need them. The honest reality is, inspiration is many things for people. Ideally you would wish to set an exceedingly positive goal for yourself and aim towards achieving that goal. Nonetheless the fuel we must burn may not always be clean.

Honestly, it's going to burn black.

I always talk of the balance of life...light and dark...especially within the soul, and I think that we will find things inside ourselves that may fuel our actions even if the fuel itself isn't pure. I am talking about the times somebody recounted something malicious, hateful, rude or just savage in all. For some, those things can completely ruin their ambitions. To be honest, that really did happen many times with me. I really did not have the belief in myself yet to "do it" irrespective of what any person declared.

These things that people say, in the final analysis, are not even really about you. I know cause I have been on the other side. I can recollect a time when I wouldn't say say very nice things because I loathed myself. I hated that they were doing it and I couldn't do it. I loathed everything about that person because they could make the sacrifices...they had the willpower...they were actually...doing what I had always dreamed of.

You can spend your life blaming other people and making an attempt to bring people down because you've got a rubbish life or you can focus on loving yourself and others, something you do truly need to be a positive person and inspire people and their dreams. At the end, spewing hate only tears you apart. Karma really does come around in some way or other and looks after proper business. Been there too.

You are either for other people or against them.

Be for others. Be for their dreams...that makes you a warm person inside. Be for relationships. That cold heart you are harboring is only going to freeze harder and finally split up into hundreds of pieces. Hate, envy, and anger will cut you in half and you will spend several years battling between the loving side and the horrible side. Once again, been there. Regardless of what you do, people are going to not like you for some unknown reason. They'll be rubbed the wrong way, they will not like your hair, your eyes, your nose, your scent, your image...they will find anything. Don't sweat it. Your true self is on the right track. Because nobody has ever talked trash about someone that actually failed to mean something to them in one way or another.

Remember that. Not everybody is going to like peaches.

So you must matter to them. So much, they have been taking time out of their day to speak about you. What a distinction.

So cheers...haters...I tip my cap to you. I must be headed in the correct direction.
