Hello, my beautiful sisters.
Let’s talk about something real today: succeeding when you know there are people out there rooting against you.
Whether it’s jealousy, envy, or just plain negativity, it can feel like the world is against you when you’re trying to rise. But remember, if God is for you, who can be against you?
Let’s dive into how you can not only overcome the negativity but also use it as fuel to elevate your life and crush your goals.
Acknowledging the Struggle
I see you, sis.
It’s hard enough to chase your dreams without feeling the weight of someone else’s negativity.
Sometimes, the doubters and naysayers aren’t strangers—they’re people you know, even people you love. It hurts when the support you crave turns into silence, or worse, sabotage.
But know this: their words and actions are a reflection of them, not of you.
You’re allowed to feel hurt, disappointed, or even angry. Those emotions are valid, but don’t let them hold you hostage. Don’t let someone else’s prayers for your failure distract you from your mission and keep you from crushing your goals.
Turn Their Doubts Into Your Drive
Instead of focusing on what they’re saying, focus on what you are doing. Imagine their negativity like rain—it’s annoying, but it helps you grow.
You don’t need their approval or applause.
You only need your determination, your faith, and your vision.
Think about Joseph from the Bible. His brothers plotted against him, sold him into slavery, and left him for dead. But what they meant for harm, God turned into good.
Joseph’s story is proof that no matter who is against you, God can elevate you to heights they can’t even imagine.
How to Succeed Despite the Negativity
- Protect Your Peace
Create boundaries. If someone in your life constantly brings negativity, limit your interactions with them. Protect your energy, sis. - Focus on Your Mission
Write down your goals and revisit them daily. When you keep your eyes on the prize, the noise around you becomes just that—noise. - Find Your Tribe
Surround yourself with people who uplift you, challenge you to grow, and celebrate your wins. Your circle matters. - Pray and Affirm Yourself
Seek God’s guidance in your journey. Pray for strength, clarity, and resilience. Speak affirmations over your life, like:- “I am walking in my purpose.”
- “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”
- “I am worthy of success.”
- Keep Moving Forward
Success is the best response to negativity. Every time you hit a milestone, you’re proving to yourself—and the world—that you are unstoppable.
Uplifting Call to Action
Sis, don’t let their negativity dim your light.
Keep shining, keep striving, and keep believing. When others are praying for your downfall, use their doubt as fuel for your fire. Every step you take forward is a testament to your strength and your faith.
This week, I challenge you to write down one big goal and take one step—no matter how small—toward achieving it. You’ve got this, and God’s got you. You can crush your goals.
Keep walking in your purpose, my beautiful sisters, because your success is inevitable.
Until next time, remember: You are chosen, you are capable, and you are loved. Go out there and show the world what you’re made of.
