Coming into the home stretch - two weeks to go.
Some stuff has bubbled up into my conscious mind that I've been able to put some thought to. I'm more comfortable with who I am; specifically, more comfortable with my intellectual gifts. And I'm less bothered by people who don't recognize those gifts, or who don't value them, etc.
First, it's their loss. If they won't accept me, or the gifts I have, they cannot benefit - not because I withhold anything from them, but because they remove themselves from being able to benefit.
Second, they usually don't know any better anyway. And what they don't know, they can't deal with - it literally doesn't exist for them, and I can't force it into their worldview.
Overall, I can focus my energies and gifts where they can be of benefit, to myself and others alike, and stop worrying about those who don't get it. And if the opportunity does arise for me to add something to their worldview, then that will be of mutual benefit.
