Purpose needs space

People will always disagree, have a different perspective, or not get it. Your job is not to gain their approval to continue down your path. If you spend energy trying to convince, you will be distracted and not make it very far down your way.

Being open to useful feedback is different than waiting for permission or agreement. Your purpose needs you to stop engaging with distractions, so it has the space to be felt and expressed by you and others.

The same goes for others; you don’t need to understand their purpose, and your judgment and opinions can be damaging too. Our work is to give space to one another’s purpose and learn to give useful feedback as needed.
