Too many things to highlight in this article. Liminal creativity can help carve a path from disorientation to discovery, from uncertainty to curiosity, from fear to innovation. It can turn scary situations into transformational experiences of self-discovery and self-authorship. In fact, life itself is a liminal space between birth and death. Think of liminal creativity as a conscious act of venturing out of the mind's perimeter of comfort. As comic Bruce Feiler says: “It takes about seven years to master something.

Change careers. Take a risk. Reimagine your identity. Live all of your lifetimes."- Bruce Feiler. Or, as one of my favorite comics says: “It takes about seven years to master something.
