I Would Rather be a Novice in the New...

I would rather be a novice in the new, than an expert in that which is old and passing away.

New tech is being created everyday, and no one can know it all, so we have to specialize. We narrow our focus so that our energy and creativity is released in a more powerful way.

Remember when you were a kid and you had a magnifying glass? When you allow the sun's rays to be bent and concentrated to a point, the effect is much more powerful.

Well, when you launch into something new you don't always feel very powerful, you may seem unsure of yourself and not know exactly what the end goal is supposed to look like. That's OK, we all can feel anxiety when we try some thing new.

If you go to new city, in a new country and you don't know the language, you might be tempted to stay in your room. But eventually you come out and you go find yourself something to eat! Why? Because you are HUNGRY!

When you are Hungry, you will leave your comfort zone. When you first go out you might feel overwhelmed your new surroundings, the architecture, the smells, the signs...but you keep going because you are hungry. We develop routines, because we are hungry. The more we develop routines, the more familiar things begin to fade into the background. Then we begin the notice things we never noticed before, if we are willing to put in conscious effort. How many times have you been down a road and noticed something new?

Well, that my friend is accessing your R.A.S (Reticular Activating System). Google it! If you are hungry enough you will allow your R.A.S. to work for you, Otherwise you will sit in your room watching TV and ordering delivery...
