Your purpose does not become smaller because somebody else cannot recognize it.

Recognition and reality are separate things. Whether other people can see what you are for depends on their attention, their frame, and what they are looking for, none of which alters what is actually there. A purpose does not shrink to fit the smallest available audience.

When you find yourself explaining your direction over and over to someone who cannot hear it, consider stopping. Not out of pride, but because the explaining costs energy the work needs. Let the work be the argument, and find people who already see it.
