Charlie Gilder ✦

When people put you in a box for a certain amount of time, they can’t bear it when you succeed. When people viewed you as a loser, it enrages them when you start to win. Most people don’t want you to succeed, let alone do better than them. Sometimes, even the closest people to you that hype you up to your face are secretly hoping you fail behind your back. In the past few months alone, I’ve had people I went to high school years ago and people from my hometown that I haven’t spoken to in years prank call me and add me into group chats with my videos being shared more times than I could count. Many people are spineless and once you start proving them wrong, all they have is to mock you, to laugh at you, and get whatever little digs in that they can. Be the person who roots for the ones posting on social media. Be the person who cheers on the people who feel small. You’re stronger than you know and if you truly want to be someone great and believe in your heart that you’re meant to, you must push through the noise.

Let them laugh.
Let them point.
Let them mock.

Because while you grow
While you build
They watch.

I believe in you, friend.

Welcome to The Gilder Era.
