Multipotentialite

I choose Door #3!

I have called myself many things over the years to express my mode of operation: polymath, Renaissance soul, multi-tasker, lover of variety, generalist...etc. ad infinitum. When I saw the term multipotentialite I thought it was just too difficult to say over and over and even more difficult to explain, but actually it really sums us up nicely. 

The t-shirt would improve my life by sparing me from having to say multipotentialite. :-) People could read it and then ask and I could explain what it means if they don't get it.

The book may make a difference in my life by finally showing me how I can make a living combining all the wonderous things I like to do. Making a living doing something I love would be the ultimate! I have worked for nearly 30 years doing a lot of stuff that was only interesting a small part of the time. On the other hand I have a plethora of hobbies (26 at last count) that I find fulfilling and satisfying. Turning those into a livelihood would change my life forever!



Finally, but certainly the one with the most potential, the hour-long coaching session with the Grand Mistress of Putty herself, Emily! I have struggled with the belief that I can do this on my own for a very long time. I am a fierce individualist and often suffer from the delusion that I can do everything myself. I am admitting here that maybe I can't. I've been trying to do it on my own for a couple of decades now...doing the same thing and expecting different results. Duh! Time to do something different. Someone else's perspective, someone who is also like me with so many different likes and skills, may be the very thing that puts me on the path of different results. Something's got to change.

I am proud to be a multipotentialite...with several multipotentialite friends, who also struggle. In fact, I think I associate more with multipotentialites than "non", yet we seem to be the exception not the rule.

I have also resisted joining the Putty Tribe because of my individualism, but that's about to change too. Time to do something different to get different results.

Thanks for forming the tribe and giving us a place to go for community!
