Create or Hate: Successful People Make Things

Hate wins when you choose not to make things. It doesn’t happen all of a sudden; it happens gradually, starting out with simple, innocent negativity, which slowly escalates. Ricky Gervais says, “It’s better to create something that others criticize than to create nothing & criticize others.” That’s great, but the problem is it’s much easier to criticize others than it is to create something yourself.

Haters don’t create anything, and instead get caught up in a never-ending cycle of Hate feeding Hate and criticism triumphing over creation.

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”

Create so much they can’t ignore you.
