Consistency is Underrated
Small changes made consistently can transform your life.
We tend to think in terms of big things. Big breaks at works, losing massive amounts of weight, gaining a lot of strength, making a lot of money – we are great at thinking big and stretching ourselves to do a lot to get a lot in a short period of time. Unfortunately, consistency is often underrated.
We forget that sometimes making just incremental improvements on a regular basis will result in utter and complete transformation of our current situation. For example:
Many people want to want to be a millionaire, and will spend a lot of time thinking about ways to get rich quick, but few will setup up a regular direct investment program that puts some percentage (however small!) of their paycheck into a savings account.
Expertise
What makes an expert and expert?
There are a lot of people that seem to be experts, people who in fact call themselves experts, that have studied and experimented and gathered enough life experience to be really and truly proficient in something.
There are other people who talk and even act as if they were experts, but have never had formal training in the subject at hand.
Given that both of these types of people seem to be experts, what really makes an expert an expert?
I think being an expert is all relative. We are all experts in something. In fact, right now there are dozens of things that you can do (or know) that a group of other people can’t do (or don’t know). To these people you are an expert.
The next time you question your own expertise, whether you can do something or teach someone else to do something, just consider that being an expert is all relative. Even someone at the top of their game, like Tiger Woods, has a coach. There is always another level of experience to be had, but that shouldn’t keep you from sharing what you do have.
You are an expert in someone else’s eyes.
