Go With The Flow
It’s so much easier to go with the flow. If you have ever been on a rafting trip, you know what I mean. You can spend all your energy paddling against the current and not go anywhere. You can also decide to go with the current and move with hardly any effort at all.
Sometimes going with the flow means that you will hit some rapids or some rocks. These can be tricky but if you are present and aware you can get through the mess. After rapids you usually some of the calmest waters around.
Putting in a solid effort is important to get solid results. However it really pays to put in effort in the smartest way. Instead of fighting the current, go with it, and use your effort to guide you to where you really want to go, using the current as a helper.
If you really are going with the flow of things, life won’t seem so hard. You’ll notice that the wind and waters really are at your back pushing you along, you just need to let them!
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.
