Your destiny is never determined by your critics or those who condemn you or those who complain about you. It's time to realize that not everyone is going to celebrate your empowerment as you go forward, moving ahead with your dreams while enjoying your life AND SUCCEEDING!
Jealous people want what you have, but they're unwilling to do what you did to get it or accomplish it. Some people see everything through a filter of negativity and condemnation and fear. That's all about THEM, though, not you. When you do good things but they choose not to see them, that's their problem not yours.
Hurting people hurt people, too. And there are some people who will never be happy, never understand what you're doing or why or how, no matter what you do to help them be happy, understand, etc. They have their own issues -- and you are not responsible for their choices or decisions.
When are you going to stop feeling bad about other people's bad choices?
You can't help people who don't want to be helped, either. God doesn't want you to be unhappy simply to keep somebody else happy. Sometimes there's nothing you can do to keep others happy and therefore you finally need to stop trying.
You can tell them everything you know, but they'll still be unhappy, miserable, confused, scattered & unfocused, jealous, and filled with anger, bitterness, resentment, and fear. So what! That's THEIR stuff, not YOURS.
Too many people, these days, also have the entitlement mentality, the "something for nothing" syndrome -- they really believe everyone owes them this or that, and they want all the perks without the works.
So here's some wisdom for all this:
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came that you may have and enjoy your life, in abundance, to the full, until it overflows. -- John 10:10 (AMP)
It's okay for you to tell people:
"Look. If you choose to be unhappy and miserable and make choices you don't like, fine. But that's YOUR life, not mine. And I AM NOT going to let your choices infect mine. I'm going to enjoy my life regardless of anyone else's feelings. So there!"
Namaste.
