Being the Outsider

Unfortunately, we're often taught that being an outsider is a "bad" thing, and no wonder — biologically we are made to stay within the safe confines of our species' groups. But there comes a moment in life where "playing by the book" is seen to be a miserable and unfulfilling absurdity. Just look at all those people who followed the rules, got a good career, wife, children, solid salary, socially-approved status … and ended up miserable, empty, lonely, killing themselves, or dying prematurely due to stress-related illnesses. I'm sure you know one, or a dozen. So while being an outsider may seem isolating, it is actually profoundly beneficial for your life. I wish everyone had the opportunity to feel like an outsider because being an outsider is a catalyst for self-fulfillment, self-mastery, and self-realization. Tune in and figure out how to be an outsider and comfortable with that!
