A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!


When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...

That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing
you blessed...

It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?

You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

We've all got some haters among us!

Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb
(if he / she isn't about the right thing)

e) Raise your children without both parents being
in the home

Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be
on our side.

How do you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:

1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.

A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

3. By remembering what you have is by divine
prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my
life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at
me...Look at Who is in charge of me...'


'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man
should have to seek Him first to find her.'

Now that we have our first African American President Barack Obama have we fulfilled the DREAM of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.? Have we moved past the past, and welcomed the new free spirited generation of like minded individuals who see beyond a persons skin color, and rather renders judgement based upon that persons character, goals, and beliefs? The New America! Can we simply say we have reached our goal, even though the pinnacle of struggle has been seen, scaled, and successfully mounted, does that mean we should we let the hopes of improvement falter after the long, curvaceous, dark road of injustice, and discrimination which has gripped the minds, and souls of people from all walks of life, but even more so for the African American race.

What baffles me is that San Antonio is the eight largest city in the United States, consisting of 2.3% African Americans, yet the MLK march in this city is the largest in the nation, beating out Washington Dc, Chicago, and birth place of Dr. King, Atlanta Georgia.

Despite what the critics may say I believe The Dream is still very much alive, we as individuals must continue to strive for equality, we as a community must continue to strive for peace, and we as a nation must continue to strive for, and demand Freedom for all. The DREAM only dies if everyday modern people like you, and myself forget how hard it was for generations before us to get to where we are today. If we take for granted the freedoms, and privileges that we have, which are masked and covered up by the fancy cars, nice jobs, and ability to make and spend money then the DREAM will eventually cease to exist.

Inspiration, courage, and perseverance are the things Martin Luther King left behind, but they were left behind as a symbol of rememberance, a tool for decisive action, and as a torch that has been passed down
