Outsiders stir up the world for change to take place.
What You Learn From Being An Outsider
-
Authenticity and Self-Discovery: You no longer need to conform to societal expectations or family obligations and is a significant step toward authenticity. Choosing to be true to yourself, free from external pressures, is a profound act of self-discovery.
-
Walking the Untraveled Path: You gain the courage it takes to venture into uncharted territory, often leading to new perspectives and opportunities for growth.
