Along our chosen adventures we will no doubt come across others who do not understand us. They will not 'get' what and why we do what we do. But before you nod in agreement haven't we all done this before? We sometimes do not 'get' a lot of people who are not thinking or doing what we are doing....right?
The thing is we do have good intentions. We do want to 'get' each other, make connections and create some kind of united force. We all want to feel a sense of belonging which gives us strength to keep being who we are. Personally I like to think that we all do this because on some subconscious level we want to be better versions of who we were yesterday and try and find that inspiration in each other (that's me wanting you to belong in that world. ;)...).
The point is, it is not our job to convince others of who we are and justify our actions. To do that would probably be a waste of time (you can explain something over and over and it still will not settle in the other persons mind the way you want it to). Secondly you will deplete your energy fast by worrying about it. As a consequence you would be of no use to yourself or others.
So do what is best for you...
HLC questions: What does it mean to do what is best for you? What does this look like? How will you know you have done your best?
