Not everyone is going to resonate with what you have to create, but it doesn’t matter. What you’re creating isn’t for the ones who aren’t attracted to it, it’s more for the ones who are. So, who cares about the ones that aren’t? You have no business measuring yourself against others. You have no business comparing yourself to other people, and what anyone else thinks of you is also none of your business. Because that’s not what your business is about. Your business is about being yourself as fully as you can. That’s your purpose in life. And if you’re not willing to be yourself, all the people that would be attracted to the gift you have to give are being deprived of your gift. Why would you do it to them? Why would you hold yourself back from people that are looking for you? You see, you think in a sense, you’re doing something humble, but you are being arrogant and hoarding your gift and keeping it away from people who might need to see it. Don’t hold back the gift that you are. Someone is waiting to receive it. Don’t make them wait.
