There are many reasons why people don't want to be a part of something. Trying to chase an individual into something they aren't interested in or ready for doesn't benefit you or them at all. One of the things you end up doing is running in circles chasing your own tail. You put so much concentration and focus on this one person that you don't realize you are missing out on so many others who are just waiting for an opportunity like the one you have to come their way. If you have found yourself doing this very thing, you need to let it go. Let them go. Let them take the time they need in their lives to figure out what in life truly is for them that will make them happy. You can talk yourself to your grave with these people and they still won't pick up the shovel to bury you. Just let go.
I have experienced this very thing with many friends and family in my life. I have found family to be the hardest to break. Even being that I am an example of what I do works, its still not enough. There have been plenty of times I have tried and tried to get my family or friends to see the things I do & come along with me on the ride I have taken but they just won't budge. After a while, you get tired and you realize nothing is going to give so you eventually stop. People have to see it for themselves. There isn't a way to get them to see things the way you do. All you can proceed to do is what you have chosen and be a positive example of it for them.
You will get a promised cold shoulder form someone who has heard from you over and over again about whatever endeavor it is you have to present to them. They ignore your phone calls, they don't want to talk to you, they keep any conversation short or deter it onto something else as quickly as they can & you start to see that they are doing everything they can to completely avoid you. RECOGNIZE when that's happening to you! You could be chasing someone so far out of your life by continually begging and nagging them into this endeavor and you won't have them around anymore. STOP, and RECOGNIZE when that is happening with you.
People have to be READY. When you try to force someone to see what you see or do what you do, they won't apply their best performance at any of it because you never gave them the time to actually find their own love for it. It can take weeks, months or years for some people to finally come around, & sometimes they won't come around at all. So why would you spend all of that precious time on one person when there are so many other people out there who actually WANT what you have to offer?
Find a way to release the chase in you. Identify when you are running into a wall made of concrete and realize you are not going to break it no matter how fast and strong you're running into it. There are just people out there we cannot break and you have to be ok with that. Be it 10, 20, 50, or 100 "No's", you have got to just LET IT GO. Somewhere out there, YES is waiting for you to approach it. Once you see it, and you find other people who want the same things you do and who have the same vision, you'll ask yourself why you wasted so much time fighting yourself to get that one single person who just wouldn't budge.
Everyone is different. Everyone has their own purpose and mission in life and its not up to us to figure out what that mission is or force what we have upon someone. Plant a simple seed & move forward. If people are going to respond to your opportunity, you can't expect it to happen right away. When you plant a seed in the ground it takes TIME to grow. It needs water, food & light to become its very best. Plant small seeds. Have faith that whatever happens, is for a reason and just accept it. Life is much fuller when you learn to release the chase in you.
