Not Everyone Will Understand Your Journey. That’s Fine. It’s Not Their Journey To Make Sense Of. It’s Yours

Zero Dean? Anonymous?

Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

These words were superimposed on a beautiful picture, but no ascription was provided. You have examined many quotations with incorrect attributions. There is a comparable problem that is endemic online. Sometimes quotations and images are appropriated without credit; original attributions are erased or cropped out, and new web addresses and logos are added. Would you please trace this saying?

Quote Investigator: The statement above was crafted by the computer graphic artist, photographer, and writer Zero Dean in June 2013. He wrote a post on this topic and created a set of vivid images which have been widely shared on social networks such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter. However, sometimes Dean’s name has been effaced or replaced by other identifiers.

In 2007 Zero Dean was a senior artist at a computer gaming company. He created artwork for games such as Rise of Nations and Red Dead Redemption. In 2009 he left his job and started on an epic road trip adventure. He has shared his experiences via his writings, photography, and art.

The quotation was written on June 26, 2013 and shared via a blog post and a pinned image on Pinterest. Interestingly, there were two different versions in the beginning. This was the longer version: [1] Personal Communication via Facebook Private Message between Garson O’Toole and Zero Dean, Query from O’Toole sent September 29, 2011, Reply from Zero Dean received September 29, 2011, The … Continue reading [2] Website: Blog Zero Dean, Article title: Not everyone will understand your journey, Author: Zero Dean, Date on website: June 27, 2013, Snapshot on August 5, 2013 from Internet Archive Wayback Machine, … Continue reading

Not everyone will understand your journey. And that’s fine. You have to realize that it’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

Quotations often are simplified, and in this case Dean himself immediately streamlined the saying to yield:

Below are additional selected citations.

The images Zero Dean created were based on the simpler statement. Here are two examples:

Zero Dean’s June 2013 blog post began with the following prefatory words:

The only person that is truly aware of your emotions, your intentions, or your interpretation of experiences (which is all they can be), is you. As much as others may — at most times — identify with you or your actions, it is impossible to go through life without occasionally being misunderstood. While you can control what you say or how you act, you cannot always control how others choose to interpret it.

Precursors to the statement do exist. For example, in 2000 “Cincinnati Magazine” published an article about health that included a statement from a doctor named Nancy Snyderman. The words were thematically close to part of the saying under investigation. Bold face has been added to excerpts: [3] 2000 August, Cincinnati Magazine, Section: Health Special Advertising Section, Healthy Journeys: A Conversation on Women’s Health: Featuring Nancy Snyderman M.D. (ABC News Medical … Continue reading

“We have a big plate in life and we can scoop as much stuff on it as we want, but we also need to push some off,” she continues. “We have the control and power. It’s your journey, not someone else’s.”

In 2010 Deidre S. Powell sent out a tweet that was thematically similar, but Powell’s remark emphasized the word “destination” which was not used in Dean’s remark: [4] Tweet, From: Deidre S. Powell @deidrespowell, Date: Inexact: “5 years ago” in August 2015, Text: Not everyone will understand your journey. But don’t be bothered by others when you … Continue reading

Not everyone will understand your journey. But don’t be bothered by others when you know your destination! http://bit.ly/adc5K5.

In July 2011 PushyDreamers tweeted a message that provided a substantive semantic match, but the phrasing was distinct, and the word choice produced a different tone: [5] Tweet, From: PushyDreamers★ @PushyDreamers, Time: 6:38 PM, Date: July 23 2011, Text: Not everyone will understand your journey. Doesn’t matter, they aren’t suppose to, only you are. … Continue reading

Not everyone will understand your journey. Doesn’t matter, they aren’t suppose to, only you are. -PushyDreamers

In January 2012 Aisha tweeted a comment that complimented individuals who were able to understand or sympathize with the journeys of others: [6] Tweet, From: Aisha (I-e-ShA) ‏@LyfeNHeelz, Time: 6:28 PM, Date: January 3 2012, Text: Not everyone will understand YOUR journey, YOUR path, why u do what u do….its not meant for … Continue reading

Not everyone will understand YOUR journey, YOUR path, why u do what u do…. its not meant for “them” too. But those that do, keep close…

On June 26, 2013 Zero Dean shared the quotation via a blog post and a pin on Pinterest. The quotation was seen by a twitter user named Jaison Keyette who tweeted it to his followers: [7] Tweet, From: Jaison Keyette @RealJai_Keys, Time: 11:48 PM, Date: June 26, 2013, Text: Not everyone will understand your journey.

In conclusion, QI believes that this statement should be credited to Zero Dean. It has appeared on various webpages and Facebook feeds without attribution. In some cases, the attribution has been removed.

Not everyone will understand your journey. That's okay. You're here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.

Nobody ever listened to me until they didn't know who I was

I’ve learnt from experience that a painting isn’t finished when you put down your brush – that’s when it starts. The public reaction is what supplies meaning and value. Art comes alive in the arguments you have about it.

If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.

People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish... but that's only if it's done properly.

The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages.

A wall is a very big weapon. It's one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with.

The bad artists imitate, the great artists steal.

I just wanna make the world a better-looking place. If you don't like it, you can paint over it!

There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.

You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.

Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.

I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower.

A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.

The art world is the biggest joke going. It's a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak. And modern art is a disgrace - never have so many people used so much stuff and taken so long to say so little.

Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet.

Nobody knows what you feel inside unless you tell them.

Live as a villain, die as a hero

Fight the fighters, not their wars.

If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.

Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don't need an education to understand it, and there's no admission fee.

The people who run our cities dont understand graffiti because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit... the people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff.... any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours, it belongs to you ,, its yours to take, rearrange and re use.Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.

If you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest then you have to live a lie.

"The one thing you can rely on is if you get disturbed halfway through a painting and it looks a bit naff, then someone will preserve that piece, remove it and a few months later it'll be paraded round Sotheby's by people wearing white gloves."

I discovered that a fresh start is a process. A fresh start is a journey – a journey that requires a plan. – Vivian Jokotad

If ever there was a metaphor to illustrate the importance of the journey over the destination, it is life itself. For everyone who departs from birth is destined for death, so the journey IS life. Savour it! – Michele Jennae

A journey is time suspended. – Louis L’Amour

Do You Believe You’re on the Path You’re Meant to Be?

A journey is an extremely powerful metaphor, mainly when we use it to describe life. When you think about it, a journey tells your life story. It explains how your character develops and how your dreams unfold.

In real life, you are the protagonist, and you completely control how your story plays out. If you make poor decisions and follow the wrong path, this will lead to severe consequences down the road.

But, if your choices are driven by logical reasoning and thoughtful planning, all will fall into place. Any failure along the way will be treated as stepping stones up the ladder of success.

Always remember that the outcome of your journey is based on how you will drive your own life. You are the one who will decide whether you use all the hardships and struggles to your advantage or not. Remember that the choices you make have consequences, so make sure you’re ready for anything and everything.

With that, we hope these life is a journey quotes were able to help you confront your path and journey. Keep this collection as your guide whenever you feel lost, and find your way back!

This belief was further amplified when I joined Quote Ambition. Through the quotes I’ve read, collected, organized, and written about, I found that humans are resilient, creative, and compassionate.

We take from each others’ hearts and courage, and it’s through our individual experiences that we learn how to rise above our challenges and pain. In so many ways, Quote Ambition is a platform that allows people from all over the world to gain the inspiration they need anytime, anywhere!

Read and see here how to become or stay mindful, “not everyone has to understand you, as long as you understand yourself”.

Often we are trying to change the people around us. We want them to understand our feelings and we want them to know what is on our mind.  But the reality kicks in, when you know that not everybody can understand how you are feeling. Life is a journey that you are taking alone. Along this journey you will find people who feel similar to you or who can understand you. Keep these people close to you and create your own (chosen) family.

Your own “spiritual” journey

If you are on your spiritual journey, and you are trying to make others understand how you are experiencing this, it will be difficult. Remember the times before you were on this journey. You wouldn’t have understood any of it. I never understood vegetarians/ vegans, until I became one myself. Leave everything up to your own speed of understanding, and let others be on their journeys. They might come to the same conclusion in this lifetime , or it will be given in another one.

Whatever journey you are on at this moment, it is yours to experience. Like me, I started a blog to share my experiences with others. The people who resonate with it, will keep reading. For others, they do not have interest for this subject, because it simply doesn’t fit their life plan. Just accept things the way they are. Accept the things you can’t change, and they will be a heavy burden of your shoulders.

A few Indicators of why not everyone has to understand you

In our quest for connection and acceptance, we often yearn for those around us to understand our thoughts, feelings, and actions. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that not everyone needs to, nor will they inherently grasp our perspectives. This realization isn’t a sign of disconnection but rather an acceptance of the diverse tapestry of human experience. Several indicators highlight why this understanding isn’t always necessary or feasible. Recognizing and embracing these indicators can lead to a more fulfilling journey of self-acceptance a

1. Individual Perceptions and Experiences

One of the fundamental reasons why not everyone will understand you lies in the uniqueness of individual perceptions and experiences. Each person’s understanding of the world is shaped by their own life story, beliefs, and cultural background.

This diversity of perspectives makes it unrealistic to expect universal understanding. For instance, someone who has never faced certain challenges might find it hard to empathize with those issues. It’s crucial to recognize that understanding starts within oneself. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are key in navigating a world where not everyone will grasp your viewpoint.

2. Communication Barriers

Effective communication is another hurdle in achieving mutual understanding. Even when people are willing to understand each other, differences in communication styles, language barriers, and emotional expressions can lead to misunderstandings. It’s important to remember that while it’s beneficial to try to bridge these gaps, the essence of your journey and your truths might still be lost in translation. In these instances, the solace comes from knowing that you understand your path and your choices, regardless of whether they are fully comprehended by others.

3. Diverse Priorities and Values

People prioritize and value different aspects of life based on their personal experiences and beliefs. This divergence means that what is significant and clear to you might not hold the same importance or clarity for someone else. For example, your spiritual journey or lifestyle choices, like veganism, might be central to your identity, yet others may not resonate with these aspects.

This doesn’t diminish the value of your experiences; it simply highlights the diversity of human values and priorities. Self-understanding and respecting others’ viewpoints are essential in this context.

4. The Journey of Self-Discovery

Ultimately, the journey to understanding oneself is deeply personal and often introspective. It involves peeling back layers of social conditioning, personal biases, and past experiences. Not everyone is at the same stage in this journey of self-discovery. While you might have reached a point of clarity and self-acceptance, others may still be navigating their own complexities. This difference in stages can create gaps in mutual understanding. Embracing your journey and cherishing your self-awareness becomes a source of strength, even when faced with a lack of understanding from others.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the journey of self-discovery and personal growth is deeply enriched by the understanding that not everyone has to grasp every facet of our being. Embracing this reality allows us to focus on our own paths, nurturing self-acceptance and inner peace. It frees us from the constraints of seeking validation and comprehension from every corner.

This realization is a liberating aspect of human interaction, reminding us that our unique experiences and perceptions are valuable in their own right, even in the absence of universal understanding. In accepting that not everyone has to understand you, we open ourselves to more genuine connections and a deeper appreciation of our individual journeys.

Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.
