A note on autonomy rooting from the mind. Reminds me of Nicola Gratteri’s words on freedom - Italian prosecutor, who dedicated his life and career to take on Italy's most powerful mafia, the 'Ndrangheta. Being a high-profile target for the group’s kill list, Gratteri lives in constant danger and isn’t able to live a normal public life, so he developed mental freedom to maintain autonomy.

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. If you live to be 88, after age 11, you have 11 opportunities to be great at something. Those are your lifetimes. Use them.” Do not fall prey to the self-consistency fallacy. Learn something new. Change careers. Take a risk. Reimagine your identity. Live all of your lifetimes."
