Dale Carnegie, U.S. lecturer and author, affirmed: "Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain and most fools do."
Oftentimes, high degrees of criticism are only small explanations about the insecurities of those who are unable to examine their self-worth. Whether friends or foes, they are like the forgotten days of rain which compel the rainbows of fortune, grace, and favor to appear.
Forgotten are friends who wear the coats of betrayal. They push one through the doors of success. They perpetuate the belief that antagonistic spirits serve no good. They purport predatory claims against their prey for purposes of causing the procrastination of inevitable blessings.
Who is their prey?
Preys suffer the indecencies of a society which glorifies monetary claims. They execute their spirit upon the walls of society until they crumble from the mercies of the warm hearted.
Preys continue to embark upon the paths which shed those contaminates within their soul. They are strengthened as forgotten memories drown in a sea of achievements.
Preys overcome their enemies to extend their belief in the principles of pursuing their purpose with passion. They avoid the grips of adversaries. Preys are successful, because they are faithful in their pursuit of goals.
W.W. Ziege claimed: "Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
Right attitudes will draw people near and the wrong attitude will keep them at a distance. The attitudes of champions say never quit.
The best attitudes lead many and the worst attitudes stand alone in a miry pit. The absence of harmony within directives welcomes confusion to stay.
Graciousness returns when extended during times of questionable circumstances or drought. The principles of sowing and reaping always seem to multiply rewards for the merciful.
Mark Twain, U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer, reaffirmed: "It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you: the one to slander you, and the other to bring the news to you."
Defamation is the emblem of social worth that is heavy to bear. It should be worn proudly, as it indicates your value in the eyes of others. It frees your mind to know that others think highly enough of you to reward you with their time, attention, and efforts. Freedom within your soul rings true and clear through the worth of your spirit.
Freedom rings when shared responsibilities glean the everlasting truths of generations to follow. It rings as loud cries are heard in the background of the forest of opportunities.
Freedom rings to beckon the weary and wounded of humanity. It rings to provoke the aspiring and innovative, as they transgress towards destiny fulfillment.
Freedom rings to sound the alarm, as attacks to character flourish with attempts to bring down one's mantle of distinction.
Freedom is the peace of mind which carries the endorsements of one's potential in the eyes of adversaries.
An extraordinary amount of attention towards another may be the actual indication that others possess insecurity about their potential.
Selfish motives will rarely help one obtain that which is most valuable. Jealousy causes one to lose ground in the battle for self-worth.
