Labels turn smart people into morons.

Everyone wants to put what you do in a box. They wanna slap a label on you to limit your potential. A

I don’t want to be defined because I am undefinable. And that’s what makes me successful at what I do.

When you’re undefinable, you’re:

  1. Irreplaceable
  2. Can’t be beaten by the competition

Here’s how to do it.

Generalists rule the world, and specialized monkeys get replaced by AI

The old world teaches specialization.

Get an overpriced degree, then a highly specialized job that may not be needed in a decade.

But now that tech runs the world, you can’t just master Microsoft Excel and email, and expect to be valuable for 45 years until you retire then die.

AI is taking specialized jobs and lighting them on fire. Being specialized is limiting your potential. It’s taking one skill and saying “I know everything” then repeating it for decades without learning anything new.

It makes you a multifaceted human being. You have to be consumed by self-education. Every year you acquire new micro skills.

Your mindset becomes flexible instead of fixed, by default, because dedicating yourself to learning makes it easier for you to deal with rapid change and new ideas.

“I don’t get it” equals amazing

People don’t get me. In confusing as f*ck.

This is no accident. You can’t define them with black and white labels, or place their ideologies into either blue or red political party.

The problem with defining who you are with labels is you place absolutes on your capability and mindset.

That means you sit in a category outside of the norm, and by default, that makes you special and by extension more valuable.

Final Thought

If you’re tired of being rejected or asking for permission, then become undefinable.

Transcend labels. Follow your curiosity until you find an obsession. Go all-in. Embrace self-education. Reject all labels. And don’t let anyone give you rules or tell you how to act.

Being undefinable is a silent act of rebellion and it’ll piss people off. Why? Because they will envy your free spirit. You either have freedom, are a slave, or are on the path to earning your freedom.

Stay focused. Find the dark place. Find your psychopath mode. Unleash your creativity and imagination. Dare to dream 10x bigger.

Be undefinable.

Tell me if you love the idea of becoming undefinable and why in the comments.
