Itâs impossible to be liked by everyone. In fact, Iâd go so far as to say that if everyone likes you, youâre doing things wrong. It doesnât matter who you are or what you do, you will be disliked. Especially if you achieve any level of greatness. Especially these days where you can tap your thumbs on a screen and say something mean in seconds. Even Mother Theresa was disliked by some people. They probably said stuff like "she thinks sheâs SUCH a good person cuz she helps the poor. Sheâs probably only doing it to look like sheâs a good person." Martin Luther King Jr. was so disliked he got killed. Abraham Lincoln just wanted to spend a nice afternoon at the theater and he got shotâ¦without even getting to see the end of the play. Hereâs the harsh reality: The price of being great is tolerating hate. You canât have greatness without hate. (Except maybe Paul Ruddâ¦heâs just so damn likeable. Except that his new movie just got the lowest marvel movie rating ever so even heâs liable to be hated.) These days itâs worse than ever because itâs so easy to hate. You just have to leave a comment on someoneâs instagram. In the past if you didnât like Leonardo DiCaprio youâd have to find him in public (unlikely), walk up to him, and say "youâre a piece of shit Leo" to HIS FACE. And if you were over the age of 25 he would probably just ignore you anyways. It used to take courage to hate someone. There were consequences. Even if you were a journalist you had to put your name on your writing. Now it takes courage to be disliked. It takes courage to be someone who will be inevitably disliked. I recently had one my stand up clips go viral on the inter webs. Itâs got millions of views across the different platforms. Itâs getting shared all over the place. (Without some of these bastards tagging me I might add.) There are tens of thousands of comments. I obviously canât read that many comments but Iâve read some. Most of them are along the lines of "this is so true. This is hilarious. This dude is on point." This is probably 98% of the comments. And then there are the funniest ones which just say "not funny." Thatâs only about 2% of the comments - maybe less - but you gotta be able to stomach it if you want greatness. The point is - the bigger you get - the more hate you have to tolerate. If you arenât willing to pay that price - you wonât make it. I'm not saying you want to be a famous comedian or well-known or anything like that. I just think it's worth talking about either way because I have a book recommendation... Thereâs an incredible book called "The Courage to Be Disliked" that I recommend you check out if you have trouble being disliked. It was a powerful read for me personally. I wanted to talk about about email and how this affects itâ¦but this email got long AF so Iâm gonna save it for tomorrow. Iâll talk about being polarizing and why itâs important to do itâ¦or NOT do it based on your personality. Iâll finish with this thought before I sign off for the day⦠People are making their decisions about you based on 20 second clips on Instagram. A 200 word email. An article someone else wrote about you. A 6 minute YouTube video. You are NOT those clips. You are YOU. Let people judge you based on their limited information. Itâs not a reflection of you. Itâs a reflection of their own reality. Most anger and hate comes from the personâs feelings towards themselves - especially if they feel the need to tell it to you on the internet. Talk soon,
