Unrecognized Expertise

In most areas of life 32 years of doing anything would justify the description of expert. Defined as a person who has comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area, there’s only a few areas in my life I consider my depth and breadth of knowledge and skills to be of expert level.

Today marks 32 years of adherence to a design for living. A design slanted towards service and selflessness. A design inclusive of timeless principles that foster an attitude of caring, commitment, and compassion. Principles, not opinions as those change with time but principles are steadfast and unchanging.

Today, Thursday, June 6, 2019, I am grateful that:

Continued commitment to living a life of service has helped me and those about me. It’s been an indescribably terrific journey and my hopes are for at least another 32 years of love and service.

I’ve embarked on another phase of my journey. It’s challenging and uncomfortable and at times my desire to quit becomes overwhelming but I’m reminded this phase is unchartered territory. I’ve got more experience with what I’ve done and what’s comfortable - doing what others think or say I should versus pursuit of my purpose. So few embark on this journey, at times it unbearably lonely but I remain resolute He will place others along my route to provide what I need.

I’m willing to monetize my expertise. Although I don’t enjoy certain areas which I’ve gained an expert level of knowledge, I am no longer willing to work without earning expert level compensation. My expertise is something so few obtain it would be a crime to not benefit from something so precious.
