feeling out of place

Last night I was reading a post somewhere about someone feeling out of place at a tech conference due to their race.

Now we have all had these moments, whether it’s in our personal life, or business. And it can be a result of so many things that they are just too long to list.

Unfortunately this can result in missing out on good experiences in life.

When I reflect on it, most of the moments I had personally that come to me seem unimportant in the whole scheme of life.

A lot of times in my business life I felt out of place. Especially in the beginning.

On a lighter side, I certainly felt out of place in my early days as a long-haired liberal hippy when we stopped in a bar in Montana in the 1970’s. If looks could kill, I wouldn’t be writing this today.

There were times at school, social events and so many other instances.

For so many who feel out of place in daily situations, whether it’s racism, sexual preferences or a number of other things, it makes me sad to think about and any situation I was ever in, seems very petty.
