INSULTS ARE THE PRICE OF THE JOURNEY. CONTEMPT IS THE BILL FOR YOUR DESTINY.
We don’t say it enough:
If no one insults you, it’s probably because you are not disturbing anyone.
And if you disturb no one, it means you are doing absolutely nothing that matters.
Welcome to real life the one where every form of greatness is preceded by waves of attacks, ingratitude, and venomous looks. Yes, all great men and women were insulted long before they were celebrated. It is almost a spiritual, universal, timeless law: light always provokes a surge of shadows before it triumphs.
The problem is not your talent.
The problem is the fear your talent awakens.
People say others fail because they lack skills. Wrong.
The greatest obstacle to your success is the fear others feel when they see who you are becoming.
In the bitter silence of their frustrations, people see in you a version of themselves they never managed to reach. And because they have neither the discipline, nor the vision, nor the courage… they choose the easiest weapon:
contempt, mockery, and insult. It is their minimal effort, their final defense against your rise.
Rejection from the people closest to you is not an anomaly it’s a rite of passage.
At the beginning, the very people who were supposed to believe in you will be the first to turn their backs.
They don’t reject you because you are weak.
They reject you because they sense sometimes even before you the greatness chasing you.
They feel you are about to rise above them. And their ego cannot handle it.
So, they grow bitter.
They invent flaws for you.
They try to damage your name.
They criticize you as if your light were burning their eyes.
These people do not hate you.
They hate what you remind them of.
They are individuals who spend their lives lying to themselves.
Your existence, your intelligence, your work, your calling, your potential all of it exposes their own mediocrity.
You become their mirror.
And what they see inside terrifies them.
They insult you because your light reveals their true face. Period.
STAY UPRIGHT.
Do not become bitter, malicious, or toxic in return.
Why? Because the one who fights with chickens will never become an eagle.
Your calm proves you already surpassed their level.
Your peace is proof you are getting closer to your destiny.
Your composure shows their words have no value and that you are already writing a story they will never be able to erase.
Remember this:
When contempt increases, it means your star is rising.
The noise around your life is not a curse.
It is a sign of alignment.
You are not far.
You are very close.
Keep going.
