The Power of Being Misunderstood

Introduction :

You may ask, what does it feel like to be misunderstood? at times it can feel like the whole world is falling on your shoulders and it is a heavy burden, some days you feel weary and you ask why life is so difficult, why cant anyone understand me, have you ever experienced that before? well, I have I know that feeling and you are not alone, you may seek external things for validation to make you think that is what you need, the ego loves and craves things as what we think of as importance, and we as humans love to feel a sense of self importance, it is totally normal, whether that's in support of family, or a friend, or even any stranger and that is fine.

The Journey Walking Alone :

In this journey we call life, it is not easy being misunderstood by your family or friends, you may seek their support only to feel neglected, and you might tell them your problems, whether it is about your dreams, hopes for a bigger future or that new car you want to buy for your self, they may not understand you and that leaves you to be left feeling disappointed and you should not put your self down because of it, I notice when you tell your hopes and business to the wrong individuals it only becomes worst, maybe you should not tell your plans, maybe it is the universe or God or whatever you believe in telling you to keep it to your self.

Block The Negativity Out

We all have dreams and, wishes we want to accomplish in life, well for me at least, I hope you do as well, on this journey of being misunderstood you have to block out the naysayers it comes naturally when you are striving for something big that seems out of others reach for others. like whether that is writing a book you always wanted to do, going on vacation, or setting any goal that is valuable to you in your own eyes that is achievable,

I noticed you can't let anybody else's problems put you down because you have a vision, There have been numerous times in my life when friends, and family members, put their negativity on me, they have told me that things I desired for myself were not attainable or I was being delusional or I was thinking too big, the truth is a lot of people are afraid and are comfortable to try out new things for their selves, it has been conditioned and first nature for them to do the same thing over and over out fear, only to be left stagnant and staying complacent and not to question anything on their own. You have to know and realize that it is not your problem because the people around you refuse to see the bigger picture and better for themselves.

Embrace The Journey

feeling misunderstood, I always knew that there was something greater for me, maybe you can relate as well, as painful as it is and the hurt, to feel not accepted by others and not heard, there are numerous benefits to it in this journey, one is that as time goes on you develop a greater understanding of your self, you do not have outside voices distracting you, as time goes on you cultivate more independence, you go by your flow to the beat of the drum in life, and have a deep resilience of self.

Now how awesome is that? It is amazing, it is like you develop your superpower in human form, I realize and look at it as a blessing in disguise because if it was not for the rejection you would have faced from others you would not realize what you are capable of developing on your own.

You no longer seek outside influences or care about the opinions of others and it just becomes irrelevant to you, because you have learned to love yourself through the journey and listen to your voice, as we all should do and strive for in life and a greater fulfillment.

Being misunderstood is not so bad after all, I hope this was relatable to anyone who feels alone with little support, it is not a bad thing, and there is power there. Just know that you are never alone and some people who relate to your story, and there is Hope.

Enjoy the Journey!!
