“Being a misfit is not necessarily a bad thing. Being shunned by the world can actually be a blessing in disguise. It provides one with the time and the elbow room to grow.

Your obscurity is your opportunity to develop your maturity, your greatness.”

Mark Casto, When Misfits Become Kings: Unlock Your Future Through Intimacy With God


Mark Casto hit the nail on the head when he said that being shunned by the world can be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Feeling different can be isolating and painful, but it doesn’t automatically define you as flawed or inferior.

It simply means you don’t conform to the prevailing norms, which can have its own advantages.

While they’re busy conforming, you’re in the lab of obscurity, cooking up your own recipe for greatness.

Obscurity isn’t a setback, it’s a launching pad. It gives you the breathing room to spread your wings, to experiment, to fail and learn faster than the rest.

 While being a misfit might mean feeling different from the mainstream, it doesn’t mean you’re alone.

There are likely others who share your interests and perspectives.

Actively seeking out communities and individuals who resonate with you can provide a sense of belonging and support.

As entrepreneurs we can learn that being a misfit isn’t a hindrance, it’s a strategic advantage.

Ps: Thank you for the gift.
