Do You Feel Like You Don’t Fit In?
It means you are on the right path.
Do you know the feeling when you struggle to find a place in society or your family?
Do you enter your working space and don’t seem to fit right with small talk near the coffee machine?
Everyone is doing the predictable, the expected, but you have an intense craving to move in a different direction.
It doesn’t make you wrong.
It makes you exceptional.
People won’t agree with you. People won’t like you.
And your focus on whether they approve of you perpetuates your misery.
Ever since I quit my fancy corporate job, dived into spirituality and became vocal about it, I hardly get along with my family.
When you reject the conventional ways of living, of course, you will be an alien to people you used to connect with.
Don’t yield to the illusion that you need the approval of others to thrive.
When people stop supporting you, and the family no longer agrees with your lifestyle, it is a sign that you are breaking patterns that made them comfortable.
It is the same with boundaries.
