What others do

Posted on by philipdodson

Often in life, we wait to see what others do.

This is society thing, it comes from childhood, school, and work. It’s ingrained into us.

‘Watch Mary, see how she does it’.

It is born out of the industrialised world making us compliant, interchangeable, cogs in their machine. It has a pattern we need to follow so the system makes sure we follow what’s been done before.

Curiosity is removed and failure or deviation from their ‘curriculum’ is shamed.

The best inventions, creations, art, music, writing, new things come from those who follow themselves and do not follow the pattern.

In an oversaturated, bland, average, mass world, it is the rebels who stand out and shape the world, not those who watch what others do.

Experts

There is a great deal of them to choose from in every field and for almost any subject.

Whether they are indeed ‘experts’ is a matter of opinion.

However, listening to their every word, following all their updates, reading all their books, even paying to attend their seminars will not fix your challenges.

Sure, they can be inspiring, some motivating in the short-term. Of course, our journeys are never intended to be alone without help or guidance from others.

However, do not pass on our responsibility to ourself by looking to experts for shortcuts and certainty. We can not skip the hard work bit by buying others stuff.

Be brave enough to face them and fix them ourselves.

After all, we are an expert on the most important subject in our life, ourselves.
