Happiness

Haterism is the act of hating people just to hate. Many of us have our haters who try to interfere in our lives in a negative light. They are the people who criticize, insult, and spew negativity. Sometimes they are passive aggressive with backhanded compliments, and other times they are obvious pointing in your face laughing at your mistakes. Kill the hate with Love.

Be Happy

Haters cannot stand to see you happy. Sincere happiness will take you to a point where you truly don’t care about the haters to be vindictive. The secret to happiness is in your attitude. Take a look around at the blessings in your life and think about ways to enjoy those blessing to the fullest.

Be Confident

Haters can’t stand the fact that you are awesome, and even more so, they hate the fact that you know it. Confidence is best displayed in achievement, no matter how minute the achievement may be. While it’s important to have faith in others, it’s also just as important to have faith in yourself.

Spread Cheer

Have you ever had a bad day and someone tells you something funny to where your attitude changed for the better? Haterism can be stomped by spreading the smiles. If someone insults you, don’t allow their anger to be contagious. Instead, be the medicine. Help them heal with love, kindness, understanding, and a caring attitude.

When up against haters, let the hate roll off you. Build your character by responding with positivity, and keep yourself psychologically and spiritually healthy.

Do Long Distance Relationships Work?

Depending on your age and lifestyle, you might find yourself in a long distance relationship that could test anyone’s devotion. Whether you are a high school student about to go away to college, or in a band that’s constantly on tour, you have to wonder whether its possible for a long distance relationship to work.

Don’t Even Try!

Research shows that distance does not make the heart grow fonder. More often than not, it makes the heart cranky and adulterous. A study conducted at Umea University found that couples are 40 times more likely to get divorced when one of the members commutes long distances. That’s just the result of spending an hour and a half on the road each day. Imagine how impossible relationships are when you only get to see your honey once a month.

Learn to Adapt and Anything is Possible

Obviously, some couples do just fine with their long distance relationships. This often has quite a bit to do with temperament, but, more often than not, these relationships survive because the love birds have adapted to their situation.

The specific ways that you adapt, though, depend on your relationship and concerns. You might, for instance, get your relationship fix by calling each other once a day. That can help you feel connected to your partner, even when he or she isn’t around. You might also need to make extra effort to see each other regularly. Instead of spending $200 on a new pair of designer shoes, you could spend that money on airfare.
