Why do I always feel like I don’t quite fit in?
Why do I always feel like I don’t quite fit in? I absolutely love this TED talk by Marianne Cantwell, which explains the concept of liminality, where we feel like we don’t quite fit into the categories that life offers us.
Marianne teaches us that we should embrace our quirks, and design our own career where we don’t have to fit into a box that society defines. We can explore our various different identities, and have a foot in many camps. Liminality describes a state of betweenness, where we are neither one thing nor another.
By embracing our uniqueness, we can create our own career, and a life that fits us perfectly. As Marianne says “you don’t find your place as a liminal person, you create it”. So, learn to embrace your quirkiness, and allow it to help you become one of the change makers and innovators of the future!
Project 365
I set up this website after deciding that I want to build a more creative life for myself, so I can give up my job and be in control of my own destiny.
I have set myself a goal of publishing an article on my website every day this year, to document my journey from employment to self-employment.
The name I chose was Project 365 because I see this as a year that I have dedicated to learning and self-development, as I countdown to freedom. It started on 1st January 2021, so I have 297 days to go!
Why not check in on a regular basis to see how I am progressing, and what I have discovered?
I have decided to set up a blog, and to document my adventures in life through it.
