Do Not Hate! Congratulate!

Yesterday my status on Facebook was 'A. Kenyatta Parks doesn't hate on anyone because there's no blessings in that!' While I have been focusing on what others do or do not do, I have to put all of my energies in making me better. I say leave the hateration to the haters. Leave that negativity to the negative people. You do not want to get sucked in that negativity because people will bring you down with them. This crab mentality permeates our society in every aspect. Instead of enjoying your journey as is we want to keep up with the Joneses. I'm tired of comparing myself to anyone because there's only one Anisa Kenyatta Parks. I am the unique representation of the Divine. I have to act according to Divine laws. I have to remember those old sayings like 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' or 'Believe your first mind.' But essentially you will not receive blessings because due to someone else's misfortunes. Put your energies in yourself and stop the hating. The world would be a better place if we focused on our shortcomings instead of others.

I will not lie to you and said that I didn't have any hateration in my heart. Yes, I did. I especially used to hate when someone chose another over me. I often looked at what they didn't have and not what they were bringing to the table. I've learned that if it's not meant to be... move on. While we were are harping on the love lost, we can build up our self-love. When you love yourself, others flock to you because they want that positive energy in their life. No one likes to be around a person that is always complaining. There's always something to be joyful. When we wake up in the morning we should be joyful because we can change every day. We can pray and meditate about making our situation better. We can literally go from rags to riches, but it doesn't matter if we do not have faith in something bigger than you.

I write this having to apologize to many who I've hated on. I am human. I will probably do it again but not proudly. I will learn from this hating and focus on ME! Every day I write, read, pray and meditate to find the answers to my journey's questions. My affirmations help me against hating. I don't want to have something because someone lost but because I won. I cannot celebrate someone else's defeat, but I definitely will celebrate my victory. My victory is a result of patience, knowledge, wisdom and action. Victory will be mine.

In my victory I will have to congratulate my opponents for being formidable. They will drive me to do my best and hopefully vice-versa. Stop hating, for it's not productive. Congratulate with a love in your heart. It is then that we grow into the Divine beings we are.
