Motivation Monday at Presence

Overview:

This article is a raw, unfiltered reminder for anyone fighting through hate, gossip, or betrayal: your rise isn’t just possible—it’s happening. When they lie, steal, and try to drag you down, you stay focused, stay humble, and let your success do the talking. Whether they’re watching in silence or mocking you in crowds—they see you. And that’s exactly why you keep going.

If they’re laughing at your hustle right now, let them laugh. Because while they talk, you’re working. While they steal, you’re learning. And while they gossip, you’re building something they’ll never touch.

Every time your name is in their mouth, that’s proof you’re doing something right. They don’t talk about people who are staying still. They talk about people who are rising. You are rising.

The Laughing:

They laughed,
They stole,
They whispered behind your back like it was a game,
They doubted you before you even had the chance to start,

You see, people mock what they don’t understand. They hate what they can’t control. And they fear what they can never become.

And it doesn’t happen all at once.
It’s baby steps.
One brick at a time.
One more sunrise where you show up instead of stay down.

The mocking:

You’re playing the long game.
The next month? They’ll still be stuck.
The next six months? Still chasing clout, still talking circles.
The next three years? Same toxic friends, Same small parties, Same tired routine.

Meanwhile—you’ll be in rooms they’ll never get invited to.
You’ll be shaking hands with people they only see on screens.
You’ll be winning, not by accident, but by grit.

The truth is, some people are only alive in your story so you can outgrow them. So you can learn. So you can see with your own eyes what the low road looks like—and decide never to take it.

The truth:

And don’t worry about who’s watching. They’re watching.
There are more eyes and ears on you than you realize.
The right people are seeing the progress.
The ones who can open doors,
The ones who can lift you higher,
The ones who matter,

Keep going,
Keep grinding,
Keep healing,
Keep showing up even when it’s hard, even when it’s quiet, even when you feel like nobody sees it.

Because the people who once tried to bury you?
They didn’t know you were a seed.
And now? You’re coming up.

Let them talk,
Let them laugh,
Let them be nobody,

You’ve got bigger things to do.
