Many would assume that living on purpose attracts people to you. The truth is, it only attracts the right people towards you. Those who are meant to be on your team will see what you are doing and they will feel called to join you. Those who aren’t meant to be on your team, those who want to oppose you, those who don’t want to fulfill their own purpose, they will separate themselves from you and try to separate others from you as well. They want to bring you down because by living the life that you are meant to live, you are convicting them to do the same, and they don’t want to. They feel threatened because they know people will follow a leader who lives on purpose. And if others follow you, then they won’t fall for their lies and deceit and manipulation anymore.
Living on purpose does not bring harmony between you and all people. Rather, it divides you from those who oppose you. There is no room for compromise in fulfilling your purpose. When you live a life that’s aligned to why you are here, there are going to be many people who fall away because they aren’t willing to follow you on that path. When it comes down to it, if they aren’t willing to sacrifice their own agenda to live on purpose, purpose is going to divide you.
Don’t run away from the division. Embrace it. Live on purpose, allow the wrong people to fall away, and watch the team you are meant to have around you form.
