People often look for someone to:

Oohh & Ahh

over. They will project their expectations on that person without any knowledge of how they truly are.

Then when the person opens their mouth and behaves contrary to what they thought – they are caught off guard.

While being told that you are:

Inspiring and Impressive

can feel good – don’t let it deter you from the more meaningful mission.

Being:

Impactful

Not out of a display of grandiose performance but for a heart to see others transformed for the better.

See when you are behaving in predictable ways people may be more likely to receive you and love on you. But the minute you step out of the line they have defined for you – then the hate comes. It’s not personal.

So Be It!

Accept that you are impressive until you press people to do better. Then you’ll be switched to being labeled “extreme”. Keep shining. Do not let them come trying to feed off your streams when they see the fruits of your EXCELlence. They had an up close glance and botched it. Allow them to sit with themselves and remember they put you on the shelf. Thankfully others will be willing to reach for what you offer.

Love,
