🌟 “The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your opposition” – Nelson Mandela. Success attracts enemies of progress, progress invites jealousy, and being too friendly often invites disrespect. Uncomfortable truths, but constants in human relationships and growth.
🔍 When you’re unknown, struggling, or stagnant, attention is scarce. But the moment effort yields results, relevance increases, growth becomes visible… and reactions follow. Not all positive 🙅♂️. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Progress is a mirror 🔮. Reflects possibilities others neglected, feared, or failed to pursue. Your success = their painful reminder of own failures. Jealousy over self-improvement? Sad but true 😔. “Envy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius” – Isaac D’Israeli.
Great minds, leaders, innovators – all criticized before celebrated. “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds” – Albert Einstein. Kindness ≠ weakness. Boundaries = respect 💪. “Respect is earned, not given” – Will Smith.
*If nobody feels uncomfortable with your growth, reassess your journey 🚨.* Progress disrupts, challenges, questions the status quo. “The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that brings progress” – Charles Kettering.
Criticism, dislike – not the goal, but often by-products of advancement. “Do what you have never done and you will become what you have never been” – O.W. Wilson.
May Almighty God guide, protect, and uplift us above enemies of progress. Grant wisdom to recognize sincere support, strength to endure opposition, and humility in success 🙏.
*Move forward with faith, integrity, resilience 💥.* “Do not shrink yourself to keep others comfortable. Do not abandon your purpose for false peace” – Banji Alabi Esq. Progress isn’t silent. Success isn’t lonely without reason
