Every day I will give you a motivational quote, which you will hopefully use to influence your thoughts and actions for the day! Today’s quote is from Toni Morrison and speaks on allowing other people to affect your emotions!
Maddhouse Motivation:
“When a man angers you, he conquers you.” ~Toni Morrison
If you have something that other people want, or if you live a life that other people wish that they could live, you become an easy target for haters. Why? Its simple. Misery loves company. And when a person tries their best to come at you, what they want from you most, more than anything else in the entire world, is a reaction. If you get mad and respond to them emotionally, you give them exactly what they want – and, you are sending a message that they are on your level. Once you convince yourself first that you are better than your situation, and that you really can be successful, once you develop this belief, you will automatically send a message to your haters that you are on a different level. Not a better level, just different. The only problem is, the more you do this, the more successful you become. And with MORE success, comes MORE haters. Yes, its a vicious cycle. ~Morris Morrison
