Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.
Where is your journey leading you to?
Are your destinations clear?
And if they’re not, do you have a methodology with which you operate, in order for you to arrive at destination which you will find suitable, enjoyable, and beneficial to your overall life perspective?
We are continuously working our way through countless variables, each of which might potentially take us to new places of opportunity, wonder, discovery, and much more.
From the outside, looking in, there are many who would potentially look at our individual journey and pass a judgment that is neither accurate, nor potentially even appropriate.
So what is it specifically that gives us the opportunity to speak with conviction that we are fully comfortable with the voyage upon which we travel?
We are presumably leveraging information and resources, which we have accrued in advance of our journey and paired them with all of the newfound elements that we encounter along the way.
We might be on a very myopically-focused, rigid journey, or we might be more elastic in our idealistic itinerary. With the elasticity comes, the malleability of decisions that get made, resources that get leveraged, opportunities that get pursued, relationships that are grown and so on.
This ability to take a more amorphus approach, paired with the core understanding that our world should remain flexible enough to anticipate changes in the external world surrounding us, could not be any more critical to our ongoing success. For in this clear perspective of the dynamic, ever changing nature of things, we are all the more adaptable in our own right.
Often times, we find ourselves on a path that majority of others will never truly understand, nor appreciate. As we recognize this to be true, we must also recognize that others, looking at us from the outside, are not going to always agree with, nor comprehend, how and why we ultimately make our decisions.
They might even be more prone to pass judgment, or to criticize our choices, and leave us having to either absorb their misperceptions or continuously explain variables that they do not have their disposal in the course of making those predetermination about us.
I believe that life is a delicate balance between setting a course in the direction you believe you are traveling, paired with the willingness and prerequisite patience to enable others to share their perspectives, and potentially improve some of choices that we believe are set in stone in our own minds.
With this flexibility, it will not matter whether others completely understand the journey that you are on, but it will not preclude you from potentially benefiting from their external perspective.
Happy Monday!
