Your Dexterity Is Unlimited

Let Me Explain

There is an unparalleled prosperity that exists within each of us. Meaning, the capabilities that we possess have the potential to become unleashed, but it almost never reaches that point.

The unmatched skill sets that we possess are just awaiting to be discovered. For example, there are those of us who have a unique ability to not only learn how to play the guitar, but once we’ve reached a level of mastery there is a dexterity to the skill of how many chords and notes a person is able to strike given they are playing a sound track that requires an intricate knowledge of memorization in terms of hitting the correct notes.

If we apply this principle to problem solving, we are unstoppable. I never thought I’d be able to discover the ability to take apart a car, clean it and put it back together simply by watching Youtube videos. I never thought I’d discover the ability to reinstall a sink faucet, auger it, and drain it.

I never thought I’d learn advanced computer programming knowledge, namely in the face of application programming interfacing skills with providing documentation.

I come from working in the service industry for crying out loud. I never thought I’d progress into a blue belt ranking in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The point is that it is so much better to be a jack of all trades and a master of just one.

Or you could very well be a jack of all trades and a master of none, but it doesn’t matter because you’ve already gained invaluable knowledge across multiple disciplines if you chose to do that. The sequencing of problem solving arises from understanding of how all things are linked together.

Everything is interconnected and there is always a step by step solution to be followed, you just have to search for it. Here is why it is that simple. You don’t become a teacher by figuring something out on your own. There has been somebody else in your shoes before who’s already had another person that taught them. And hence you are being taught the things this person has learned from someone else.

Obviously, that can be interpreted by aligning a sequence of events that is passed through a chain command of some sort. You become a teacher by learning from someone else. You are able to teach things that you’ve gained through the wisdom of another. This is what propels your dexterity to an unrivaled standard.

There is nobody else that can compete with this wisdom because it is untouchable. Maybe in a figurative sense. And there is nobody that can take away your freedom because you’ve earned it through years of trial and error.

If you apply the concept of problem solution to a practical standpoint, there are normally two ways a solution is reached. There is both the intraneous perspective and its counterpoint of an extraneous approach.

This can simply mean you are either able to figure something out on your own, hence that’s what talent is interpreted as. Or, you are able to figure something out with the help of others. That is where the gift of collaboration is received.

You are able to relinquish your pride in exchange for allowing somebody else to assist you. Therefore, you have elevated your ability to become even further dexterous. This doesn’t necessarily mean you are applying these concepts with just using your hands. It is meant to be implied across an expansive mentality that accepts the notion of delegation for increased benefits of knowledge.

Of course we would all love to be able to figure everything out on our own, and granted there are some of us who do have that rare ability. But, even if you don’t, you probably don’t even realize that your dexterity is unflappable because you have skills that don’t match with many others.

I don’t have the statistical numbers to prove this theory, but there is a likely probability that the things you have little knowledge about, are more than what an expert might be aware of. If you think about it, some of us don’t give ourselves the credit for knowing things that even the brightest individuals in the world would be able to comprehend.

And that’s something worth applauding yourself for because you can’t spend too much time trying to learn the answers for every problem as it will only cause you to run out of time. Sure, you might eventually figure it out, but there are mysteries never meant to be pieced together.

Thank you for reading! Be well.
