We all belong in a place
I believe no one is ever out of place in this world, we belong to somewhere we might have not found or will not find.
As weird as this sounds, it is the plain truth, which some might or might not be willing to accept.
A person who was brought up in the bronx, with gun shot in place of door bells, drugs in place of normal powder, whose only education is the streets, might not blend in when put in a place of elites simply because they might find those traits highly unwelcome.
Similarly, when you take a rich kid, who had maids doing everything, who has connections everywhere and already has the next twenty years of the person's life already laid out for the person, when you take such a person and place the person in the bronx, the person might end up being a total misfit. Wanna know why? Because the person is not used to such.
My point in all these illustrations is simple: when we get to a place, it might not be as we planned, but we have to learn to adjust so that we can blend in if that's what we truly want.
Have you ever been to a place where their official language is not one you are familiar with? What do you do when you know that you have to make it work? Simple, you learn the language and custom of the people so that you can fit right in...
Blending in is never easy but when we want to belong to a place, we have to find the right way to blend in.
I know it's easy to get frustrated and quit, but what if your life depended on it, would it be any different? Truth is yes! It would.
So why must you wait till your life depends on it before you are willing to go the extra mile?
To find our place in life, we must be willing to lose ourselves in a way, so that new things can be acquired.

VOTE @ausbitbank for witness, @ehiboss says so!
We are created in such a way we can adjust to anything. Those cannot adjust does not want change. When I first got to Abuja back in 2011, they speak english differently so with time. I adjusted and can speak with same way as them. We just have fit.
On steemit, I didn't get to understand things at first but now am slowly adjusting to its way
Adaptability of a person gives him or her the ability to bend towards new environment. It's not easy when you change environment, especially a completely different place to where you are before. But we have to fit in, we can only do this by tolerance.
Thanks @ehiboss for sharing

This is so true.. These are words of wisdom.. God bless you!
Late P.W said adapt or die. We must learn to fit into time and space. Adaptability and flexibility really matters if we are to excel in life.
Life is full of surprises, so we must learn to play along with the events of life in order to win.
Words!
Where we are sometimes isn't the place we want to be but we have to make effort to make a living out of it anyways. The street is a place for survival.
I love this, too much inspiration.
Yes! you are right everyone has a place to fit in in life. One must strive firstly to understand oneself and be firm and true about oneself and then fitting will just be a flow.
Blending in is never easy but when we want to belong to a place, we have to find the right way to blend in.
Finding the right place is very important. That's the place where we will be celebrated and not tolerated.
@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
