I love my haters, they motivate me (is this you)?

[valet]

I hear this alot from some sports guys (I'm watching the Kevin Garnett documentary). Some people love being doubted, get hated on, having enemies. It motivates them to be great. Are any of yall like this? If so, do you look for drama to keep you motivated?

Always thought the phrase was kinda corny, but who cares what I think when these athletes have multiple championship rings.

I always fw the “I’m competing against myself” mentality. Only fire that keeps you going is the fire within you.

In sports it’s warranted. People dislike you because you play for an opposing team and you get the opportunity to make them feel stupid by beating their favorite team.

In a normal setting it’s stupid. If you work at Amazon and have “haters” you’ve probably
done something to make someone dislike you

I hear you but I've heard success stories where kids had teachers, school counselors, who doubted them, told they couldn't succeed. Mamas who told them they ain't ish, gonna be just like their daddy. You get the drift.

Nobody is perfect. How many people are willing to own up to their shyt though? I have haters but I'm a hater too. Everybody is a hater or lover to or for somebody. How you choose to handle the hate or love you receive from others shows who you are. Some people let it get to their head the wrong way and that's why folks gotta stay humble.
