Can Haters Fuel Your Dreams?


By Keith Cook

We have all encountered people that have nothing positive to say. Each time you present them with an idea of hope, creativity, love, innovation, increase, they provide you with every reason or excuse in the book as to why your idea will not work. They tell you 10 negative reasons why something will not work or can’t be done and in the event they say something positive, you’ve already decided not to move forward with your desires.

Why does it seem like so many people have more words of discouragement and unworthiness as opposed to encouragement and inspiration? Maybe they had dreams and goals that didn’t go as planned, they became frustrated and gave up. Maybe their parents, friends, teachers, and colleagues were not as supportive or encouraging as they wanted.

We continuously encourage our babies, kids and the youth of the world, but as adults, we stop encouraging each other. As though adults have out grown the need for praise, inspiration and fulfillment. We are always referring to each other as “big kids”, so why not continue to encourage the kid in each of us, as adults?

Young people are usually not as articulate and self-aware as adults. For that fact, many adults are in the same boat. We all need to be made aware of infinite opportunities and possibilities life has to offer. We can all benefit from the same encouragement, kind words and sincere compliments given to our youth. Alone, the benefit of a strong character can’t be measured by any test. A test just gives you ideas; it does not necessarily paint an accurate picture of who you uniquely are.


But who is really responsible for keeping the fire burning inside of you? Mom, dad, your boyfriend, your spouse, your best friend, the kids? Nope! “Parents can only give good advice or put children on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.” Anne Frank. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with people, places, circumstances and events that empower you and take you closer to your ultimate goal. And if you don’t have someone in your life providing you with the guidance you deserve and desire, look no further.

    Thanks for sharing. Those are just challenges and to me challenges are mere windows of opportunities. Plenty to choose from to be precise. Keep the good work.

    One of my favorite sayings: “Use haters as elevators!”

    This is so true. People who have failed in what you’re trying to do tend to discourage you from doing it. What I tell people always, is not to make a doctrine how of their own personal experience. Thanks for sharing this.

    Maybe in a way haters do encourage us but then again less compared to positive encouragement.
