Human beings are human beings. We are here for different reasons. We are created differently. We are after different things. Some are going after long-term goals. Others are going after short-term goals.
Whatever you are going after in your life, make it your own. Make it come alive. Feel it. If you don’t get it, you can’t see yourself doing it in the future, then don’t do it. Don’t even try to be there! Because it is not yours. What is yours will make sense to you, not to others.
That is why some people are still struggling to know you, to get to know where you are going, or where you are coming from. They can’t seem to get it. They are trying to know why you do what you do, why you think the way you think, but they are left in the dark. They are stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Let them get stuck. That is not your problem. Your problem is not to worry about what people are thinking about you. Your number one job in your life is to have the courage to be real to yourself, to become who God created you to be, to be there for you when you need you. It is not to waste your time on things that are not going to be important to your life in the future.
It is okay to be different. Don’t try to be who you are not. It is not going to work for you. If you are not true to yourself, at some point along the way, it will start to work against you. You will start to get the feelings that you have betrayed yourself, that you are no longer the person that you used to be to yourself. You start to see yourself differently. You start to separate yourself from your real self.
No matter who you are, how smart you are, if you are against yourself, you are done! Growth is gone. Success is gone. Relationship is gone. Why? Because people want to do things with people they can trust. Think about it.
If people are NOT nice to you, that is okay. It is your life to live. But be nice to people. Live your life. It is okay if they don’t know why you are doing what you are doing. That is okay. Don’t worry about what they are saying about you. That is what people do when they don’t understand why other people are doing what they are doing.
They don’t understand you because you have chosen yourself over all other things. They don’t understand you because you are not afraid to focus on what is going on in your life. You are not afraid to listen to yourself, to listen to other people. You are not afraid to embrace who you are, where you are, and your imperfections. You are not afraid to accept what life has to offer. You are okay with the present. You don’t try to be who you are not. You know that life is never going to be perfect, that things are always changing. You are not afraid to say, ‘I don’t know.’
People don’t understand you because you are not afraid to fail, to make mistakes. Because it is how we grow. People don’t understand your life because it is your life, not theirs. You are not living for them. You are living for yourself.
If people don’t know you, don’t try to explain yourself to them. If they are really interested in you, they will come to you. People who are interested in your life will come to you. But those who are not interested in your life will never come to you. That is okay. Because they don’t know you. Because you are not living your life for them. You are living your life for yourself.
