Can you belong somewhere without fitting in?
Transcript
Can you belong somewhere without fitting in? Oh yeah. Because those are two different things. Fitting in means you're accepted by other people socially. You're part of the club, the in-group. Belonging somewhere is much more existential. It has nothing to do with people's opinion of whether or not you fit in. Belonging somewhere has to do with your mission in life. If there's something that I need to accomplish in this place, then I belong there, even if no one else there wants me to be there. You learn as you evolve on your spiritual path. It's that a lot of the rooms where you are, where you have a special purpose to appear there and to contribute something, you're going to be lovingly embraced, you have to get the discomfort, the rejection so that you can show up where you're needed.

Fitting in and belonging are not the same thing. Fitting in is about being accepted by other people. Belonging has very little to do with other people's opinions. It comes from showing up where your Maker wants you to be and living the purpose you were created for. As you grow spiritually, there will be seasons when you feel different or uncomfortable. Do not mistake that discomfort for being in the wrong place. Sometimes it is simply the cost of becoming the person you were meant to be and showing up where you are most needed. #spiritualpath #purpose #spiritualgrowth #faith #jewishwisdom
