If Your Message Is Misunderstood, Even After You Clarify, They’re Not Ready For You and Your Message

There is a place and time for everything and everyone. Sometimes your message may be arriving too late or too early. No matter when it arrives do not be discouraged as for many it may be arriving just in time.
Focus on constantly and consistently delivering your message it will land on the lap of those that need it right now and it will land on a stack of pending items for those that will need it later. 
What about those that it arrives too late? Catch you on the flip side and there will be a flip side, there always is!

If People Refuse To Understand You, Then Your Message Is Not One They Want

Continuing with others refusing to understand you and your message. Another possibility is that what you are bringing them is NOT the message they want to hear. 
Your clear and concise message may be part of something that others do not want anything to do. 
Do not be offended, as a leader you are expected to NOT be all things to all people. 
Remember, Actions over Words all day, every day!

UNDERSTANDING – People Will Only Understand What They Want To Understand

People only want to understand only what they want to understand and do not for one second believe otherwise. Sure some people will understand but what about those that refuse to understand?
They will only see what their narrow-minded vision of what you offer will allow. No need to worry. Know that is an acceptable hurdle. Sometimes that hurdle you might want to avoid. Have you ever notice in life people will put into their mission, vision, challenge an obstacle they know many will not be able to overcome. They do that to thin out the herd, to only get those that know they can overcome the obstacle on board. 
Whether it is consciously or unconsciously done on both sides it is part of human nature. Some people will gravitate towards you message, vision, mission, or challenge while others might not know how to tactfully and graciously bow out. Instead they take the low road and burn bridges. 
Accept that not everyone will like or are fully capable of fully understanding what you are sharing. That’s on them.
Remember, Actions over Words all day, every day!
