<\/a><\/p>\n

I hate to do this.<\/p>\n

As a proponent of love and all that is good, I am compelled to write about the word ‘hate’.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because it is the very word that has driven me, pushed me, scalded me, harassed me, and pursued me from the very day I was born.<\/p>\n

I hate to admit it, but it’s true.<\/p>\n

Hate, and the power found within that four-letter word, has forced success upon my life, time and time again.<\/p>\n

So please allow me to explain…<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hated being hungry.<\/p>\n

I hated being poor.<\/p>\n

I hated being alone.<\/p>\n

I hated my lack of self-confidence.<\/p>\n

I hated not fulfilling my dreams.<\/p>\n

I hated being at the mercy of other humans when it came to employment.<\/p>\n

I hated being reliant on government handouts.<\/p>\n

I hated having an empty bank account.<\/p>\n

I hated waking up to another dreary day.<\/p>\n

I hated the feeling of hopelessness.<\/p>\n

I hated depression.<\/p>\n

I hated walking through the supermarket wondering how I was ever going to feed my family.<\/p>\n

I hated the growing pile of bills.<\/p>\n

I hated myself – the way I thought and the way I lived.<\/p>\n

Something had to change\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hated the fact that I had brought myself to the place where I now found myself.<\/p>\n

I hated the fact that I couldn’t blame anyone but myself for my situation.<\/p>\n

I hated not knowing what I had been born for.<\/p>\n

I hated the gnawing feeling within that kept telling me that I was born for something greater than I was currently living.<\/p>\n

I hated that I would never be satisfied if I ever got a normal job like everybody else that I knew.<\/p>\n

I hated being retrenched because I was too good at my job, and that my manager was threatened by my presence and productivity.<\/p>\n

What was this thing inside of me that kept telling me that I was born for significance?<\/p>\n

Why could I never be satisfied working for another man?<\/p>\n

I hated the fact that an entrepreneur had planted into my heart the spirit and the dream of an entrepreneur when I was only 18 years of age. As a direct result of that intrusion in my young life I could never settle for what was ‘normal’ ever again while ever I lived on planet earth. I was ruined for the job.<\/p>\n

I hated that my parents placed within me a spirit of belief in my abilities and capabilities.<\/p>\n

I hated that my wife trusted and believed in me.<\/p>\n

I hated that my children looked up to me.<\/p>\n

I hated having to take responsibility.<\/p>\n

But I also hated losing\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hated less than the best.<\/p>\n

I hated mediocre.<\/p>\n

I hated failing.<\/p>\n

I hated not learning from my past mistakes.<\/p>\n

I hated hating…and that is when I started loving.<\/p>\n

That brings me to today…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love the fact that any thing or any one does not restrict me.<\/p>\n

I love the fact that I am a creative being and that I can always create something from nothing.<\/p>\n

The magic ingredients that I carry within me, into every day of my life, are my imagination and my creativity.<\/p>\n

There is no wall too tall, too deep, or too wide that can stop me from achieving the fulfillment of my dreams.<\/p>\n

When I suddenly realized this, this was my independence day.<\/p>\n

This was my freedom.<\/p>\n

This was my liberty.<\/p>\n

This is what I love\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love that when you tell me I can’t, that I will respond with I can.<\/p>\n

I love that when you tell me that I won’t, that I will respond with I will.<\/p>\n

I love that when you declare that we are living in the darkest days ever, that I will light for you a candle.<\/p>\n

How can I respond with such positivity?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because as I locked myself in the basement of my local university library, in a desperate personal search to find the answers to all the things I hated about my life, I started to look back throughout history. It was there, in the deep silence of that place, that I started to fall in love with whom I was becoming in my mind as I was introduced to men and women who were faced with situations and seasons that were far more challenging than the ones that we currently face – and yet they won.<\/p>\n

Upon their shoulders we can stand.<\/p>\n

I hate to admit it.<\/p>\n

But you and I were born for greatness.<\/p>\n

So go ahead.<\/p>\n

Be my guest.<\/p>\n

Harness the power of hate, fall in love with whom you can become, and go live a life of awesome and unstoppable magnificence!<\/p>\n
