Keep Every Stone They Throw — You’ve Got Castles to Build by Adeline Atlas
May 18, 2025
Welcome back to Soul Renovation. I’m Adeline Atlas — 7-times published author.
Every insult, rejection, and attack is just material. You either let it crush you, or you collect it. And when you collect it intentionally, you don’t just survive — you construct.
Keep every stone they throw at you — because you’ve got castles to build. That’s not just a quote, it’s a blueprint. Life will hand you critics. Haters. Doubters. People who misunderstand your purpose, underestimate your depth, or outright try to take you down. And you know what? That’s fine. Let them throw their stones. You’re not here to dodge them — you’re here to use them.
Every attack is a piece of raw material. Every insult is unrefined concrete. Every ounce of shade is building material for your next level. But you have to decide how you receive it. You can absorb it and let it break you. Or you can catch it, label it, and stack it into something that lasts. The emotional strength it takes to keep moving forward while people are trying to throw you off? That becomes structural steel in your castle.
Let me be clear: this doesn’t mean you have to pretend the attacks don’t sting. It doesn’t mean you spiritualize toxicity. What it means is — you reclaim the power from the insult. You don’t internalize it. You invert it. You turn what was meant to destabilize you into reinforcement. That kind of energy? That’s what makes people look around one day and realize, “Oh — she didn’t just survive. She built something with it.”
Because real elevation is loud — even when you're silent. The people throwing stones often think they’re winning because you didn’t clap back. But what they don’t see? Is that you’re too busy stacking. You’re redirecting that energy into blueprints, strategy, and vision. And when the castle is finished — that’s your response. Not a post. Not a comeback. Just presence. Just legacy.
Every setback, every betrayal, every moment of doubt — stack it.
Every time they said you weren’t enough — stack it.
Every opportunity you lost because someone was intimidated by your truth — stack it.
And don’t just stack for the sake of proving people wrong. Stack with precision. Stack with intention. Because this castle you’re building? It’s not for revenge. It’s for residency.
It’s your new home.
Your peace.
Your fortress.
Your business.
Your sanctuary.
Your brand.
Your voice.
That’s what the stones are for — not to hurt you, but to elevate you into the space you were born to hold.
So stop explaining. Stop defending. Stop playing small because you’re tired of being targeted. You were never meant to walk through life without resistance. You were meant to master construction under fire.
That’s what makes it a castle.
That’s what makes it yours.
