You're listening to The Game Changer Life with Dave Anderson, the show about how to thrive, take charge of your mindset, and be unstoppable in business and all aspects

of your life. This is the Game Change Your Life podcast with Dave Anderson. Welcome to the

Game Change Your Life. I'm Dave Anderson. It's time for our Friday. Two-minute warning edition,

posted on Fridays. What would you think I was going to say? To give you

something to think about watch for or do to finish your week strong and maximize your weekend,

I will also include an occasional red zone rant, but not today. Let's talk here about four

truths about haters. You hear a lot about haters. Don't hate on that person. That person's a

hater and so forth. We all have our different maybe idea or version or maybe you've had some haters in your life at one time or you have them right now. Let's try to understand exactly where they're coming from what they're up to and maybe that will help you better pity them, right? Be able to overlook them, not engage with them, and move on and be something productive and do something productive

and live the game, change your life. First truth is, normally they're jealous. You've got something

they want. Okay, you did something they wanted to do. You're going somewhere they want to go.

And so since they can't have it, you know, do it or go with it, they're going to take shots at you.

If they can rob a little bit of your joy, it makes them feel a little bit better because they're jealous of something about you, some aspect about what you do. Secondly, they wanna control you. See, if they can get you to respond, if they can get you to take debate, enter the debate, enter the argument, respond on social media. Now they're controlling your time. Now they're in control. Hators are often

control freaks who want to invade and hijack your time, attention, energy, focus, passion,

and joy. Thirdly, they want attention. I mean, dramatic people very often have bored lives,

and they want to drag other people into those bored, dramatic lives. And so they want your

attention. So don't feed it.

And Fortly, they're angry at themselves.

Hators, who do haters hate the most?

Themselves, you're just the outlet.

Think about it, when people are given the choice of hating themselves for their own failures

and disappointments and bad decisions, or hating you, for your successes, they're very

unlikely to choose the former.
