Last night, I wrote the following paragraph on my Facebook wall:
Some people really can be negative and put a damper on something for which you have worked hard and believe in with all of your heart. I suppose when things are not going as planned in one's own life, it is difficult to keep a positive point of view when commenting on the next person's success. But I will take it. Thank you for the motivation. Still all smiles.
I received encouraging words from some wonderful people regarding the above post. So I felt the need to expand on the topic.
To everyone who is working toward their dream, understand that there will be nay sayers who will try to deter you from pushing forward. And as my cousin Cassandra Winston stated, there will even be those who cheer you on and send out a prayer (not up), while quietly wishing that you fail. When the dream comes true, there are persons who will still cast negativity your way, but not as boldly, because they also want to be a part of your success.
In knowing all of these things, hold on to who you are and keep your dream near and dear to your heart. Bask in the love and support from those who are excited for you and celebrate with you. And thank God for them all.
