Misunderstood
It’s painful when you are misunderstood. You want those around you to know your intentions, your heart, and your motivations. When they make assumptions that are off base it can sting.
The trouble comes when you try to explain yourself. What if they don’t believe you? What if they doubt your intentions. Double sting.
This type of cycle can be brutal on your mental bandwidth. It’s brutal because you have no control over their beliefs. If you are locked in on “making it right” but the other person has no interest, you will be miserable.
There are really only two elements that can ensure success:
Get clear about your identity
Let people be wrong about you
Note: If your identity is not rooted in your Creator your soul will lack peace.
