Letter: ‘You’re better than you think’

Published 8:40 am Tuesday, December 30, 2025

You’re better than you think.

When you’re seen as a threat, it’s because you’re important.

When others talk about you behind your back, it’s because you’re relevant.

When people try to take advantage of you, it’s because you have value.

When someone insults you, they already know that you’re above them. Hate only comes from below, not from above.

And when others doubt you, it’s because you’ve accomplished things they can never achieve.

Most criticism comes from people that admire you; and jealous people are actually your biggest fans; they just don’t know it.
