Your expertise is not what you do !

Someone in my Linkedin network asked me this question

when i ask my questions, i do not seek answers
instead i seek to expand awareness, both with myself and with other people
i enjoy the responses, not only one by one, but as a flow, a wave of group thought
when too many people respond in one way, the next person will choose a different angle. in this way, i experience the law of large numbers - i do not know who will take the position of expressing the opposite of what has been said before, i only know that someone will stand up to defend the other side
so this is about my reasons to ask questions on linkedin

about niche
i find that by asking questions, i remodel my brain neurology. my goal is to have more fun in life today than i had yesterday. fun means i dont know how to have fun, i dont know what fun is, i am just having fun without really knowing what fun is.
i hope this makes sense

when i remodel my brain neurology, by adapting a new belief for a while to see if believing something will bring me new experiences, and then dropping the belief in order to make room for a new belief, and so on ... so when i remodel my brain neurology, i in fact reshape the "pink glasses" through which i see the world

i dont believe there is such a thing as a niche. your expertise is not what you do, your expertise is the way you look at the world. and this is a totally unique way, that took you your whole unique life to develop. you see, the more proud you are about your uniqueness, and the more you agree with the fact that this vision is found nowhere else in the world but within you, the less you feel you have to do. At the same time, you start to realize how important it is to further develop this totally unique vision into something even more concentrated than it was before.

the exchange office between unique vision and value creation (money) becomes thus independent of what you do. consider your view like a book you wrote - people want to read your book, then they come to you and ask you : "look, i found something in your book, now i want you to see my world with your eyes and tell me what you see." so the true value is in your unique vision, the vision that helps someone else to see yet another aspect of their own world.
