The road by which one travels in life is an interesting path. On that road, one encounters every imaginable type of people and attitudes.
Passing through life and encountering those people, especially the negative ones, it’s easy, often tempting, to meet hostility with hostility, to change your focus away from your goals and vision. To do so is only to take focus off your path. I challenge you to rise above this, to meet hostility and negativity, and rise above it; not to validate it, or let it distract you from your goals.
There is a great quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that goes to the heart of my point:
“At times the whole world seems to be in conspiracy to importune you with emphatic trifles. Friend, client, child, sickness, fear, want, charity, all knock at once at thy closet door and say,—’Come out unto us.’ But keep thy state; come not into their confusion. The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.”
If you come upon someone’s vision, or dreams, respect that. Bring something positive into the world.
Onward & Upward.
