Let Them Misunderstand You

Misunderstandings Are Inevitable

Don’t you hate it when people misunderstand you?

When we recognize that this is inevitable some of the time, and redirect our energy into coming back home to the truth of what we know about ourselves, we re-empower ourselves.
This is a practice that isn’t always easy or successful but still worth our efforts.

Being misunderstood is often upsetting but inevitable some of the time.
