“I am not for everyone, and that’s okay.” The world is full of people who, no matter what you do, will point blank not like you. But it is also filled with people who will love you .You are not for everyone, and that’s okay.
“Talk to the people who can hear you. Don’t waste your precious time trying to convince them of your value, they won’t ever want what you’re selling. Don’t convince them to walk alongside you. You’ll be wasting both your time and theirs and will inflict unnecessary wounds, which will take precious time to heal.
“You are not for them and they are not for you – politely wave them on, and continue along your way. Sharing my path with someone is a sacred gift – don’t cheapen your gift by facing yours in the wrong direction. Keep facing your true north.”
As you “drive people away,” you only get closer to your ideal people. Those who love you, who want to be close to you, who truly value you, are one step closer.
Each person who criticizes you draws you closer to your ideal clients. Each friend that walks away draws you closer to the people who share your beliefs and passions.
Being disliked by some is simply a byproduct of being authentic to who you truly are.
The more you embody your true persona, the more incompatible people will pull away from you.
That’s okay, because at the same time, the more you adopt.
