He lived a life of example, and dealt with those who questioned it, attracting some, repelling others. But he also promoted his beliefs through preaching and making controversial statements and taking public action. If one lives solely by attraction, perhaps it is out of fear of rejection. If I don't put myself out there, I will limit those who reject me and my life. Living solely by promotion allows us to forget to practice what we preach, spending more time focusing outwardly, and risking become control-oriented over other people. Just an opinion.
