Finding your Niche

4 posts in this topic

Well, we all know that If an Animal is acting out of its niche and is trying to accomplish what his natural capacities didnt fit him to do he will fail. Or because the Niche is Wrong or because he is trying to offer what he are not fit to offer.

Imagine a Jellyfish tring to survive in a desert. 

Based on this, How do you define a niche, what are the important crucial questions to make?  How to find out if what you decide to offer as Value, have really Value or is just a dream?

Obviously, nobody is born knowing their niche, so I like the example with the jellyfish because it speaks about something important. Evolution.

Just like it took time to evolve jellyfish, it will take you time to evolve into your niche. Similarly to biological evolution, you'll have to go through a process of trial and error, trying different strategies and mutating them slightly to see how they effect you and your environment. It's important to put yourself into different situations with different environments and people. Experience is key:

As you go about this process a path will crystallize, given that you stride this path mindfully and don't just do things for the sake of doing them, but actually put and intention to learn and grow into it. Just that intention alone will already take you a long way.

The rest is for you to figure out.

It can seem contradictory, but finding your niche requires growth, so it might not seem as obvious at first. You have to test things out. That's the "variation" part of evolution (genetic mutation, sexual recombination, etc.). But at the same time, you have an internal compass that guides you. That's the "selection" part (biological fitness, sexual selection, etc.). So your psyche evolves just like the species: selection and variation. If you become aware of this and how it relates to your personal psychology, it may help you find your personal niche.
