You’re not supposed to be an expert in everything.

I married a pretty handy guy. He can fix most things around the house and I’m grateful for it. He’s also game for (most) of the projects I come up with so that’s also a plus. The one thing he won’t go near though is electricity. Why? Well, it’s because he’s not an electrician, and the risk for a misstep when it comes to electricity is just too high. Plus, you really shouldn’t be an expert in everything.

Now, I’m a pretty creative person. I can problem-solve a lot of things and have a pretty good vision for how I want it all to come together. But when it comes to assembling or building, I almost always consult the step-by-step instructions. Why? Because I’d rather get it right the first time and not have to unbolt, re-screw, and reassemble when the directions were there to assist in the first place. Plus I can’t be an expert in everything. 

And neither should you.  

I’m sure you’re great at a good many things. But you’re certainly not an expert in all things.

I have a feeling you have a pretty good idea on what areas of your life need some fine-tuning. Got some fitness goals that look better on paper than in execution? Want a more connected relationship but noticing yourself pretty tuned out? Got some big ideas of what you want your financial future to look like but still have money drain mindlessly from your bank account?

Sounds like it’s time to ask for help.

Find yourself an expert.
Get yourself a plan.
Take a breath and seek out the help you need to move you from point A to point B.  

Remember, you’re not supposed to be an expert in everything. Give yourself permission to ask for help and see what amazing growth can come from it.

I know you can do it.
