My Letters To My Son

Howdy Son

Howdy Son,

Well, here we are at the start of another amazing week. Are you prepared to take advantage of all that the coming week has to offer, I certainly hope so.

I ran across another cool quote that I thought I would share with you and have written it below:
“Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter.” – Anonymous

I found that quote to be pretty interesting because it addresses what we call, “haters”. Haters are typically jealous of another person’s status, possessions, accomplishments, etc. Basically, they attempt to build themselves up by tearing someone else down. In reality, only cowards do that.

Some people become haters because they are seeking revenge. I know it’s all too easy to want to, “get back at somebody”, when they have wronged you. In a perfect world, we would all treat each other with love and respect, however, we do not live in a perfect world. People do and say things that are hurtful to you. Those who do that are typically hurting inside themselves. Although they would never admit that they are hurting inside, it’s possible that they don’t even realize that they’re hurting inside. That, of course, is still no excuse for them to lash out at you.

As you go through life, make every attempt to, “take the high road”, and not become a hater or let the haters of the world rob you of the joy you deserve. Seek only to elevate yourself based upon your own merit, not based upon someone else’s shortcomings.

Well, that’s all for now!

Have an amazing day!

Love,

Dad
