No matter how hard you try, there are circles you will never enter.
You can work harder, perform better, and even try to align yourself with their ways — but the walls will not break.
Because the wall was never built from stone. It was built from interests.
Inner circles often operate on unspoken agreements — a shared understanding of who belongs and who doesn’t. It isn’t about competence or values. It’s about maintaining control. The members protect their territory fiercely, not out of insecurity, but out of habit — the comfort of power undisturbed.
If your vision is to share that power, to open the doors wider and make room for others, you will naturally be seen as a threat. They will not let you in to rearrange the system that sustains them. And if you persist, they will try to break you before you break the cycle.
But here’s the truth: you don’t need to belong to that circle to create impact. Sometimes, real change comes from standing outside — challenging, questioning, and building new spaces where others like you can belong without permission.
The goal isn’t to enter the circle.T he goal is to redraw the circle entirely
