It Turns Out I've Been Specializing All Along

I grew up believing I had to specialize in something.

That I had to become exceptionally good at one thing, invest in it, build a career around it, and maybe even spend my whole life in the same company, climbing the ladder.

But the world changed.

And it changed a long time ago.

Today, very few people spend their entire lives in the same company. And, thankfully, we've also moved away from the expectation that a person should be just one thing.

The truth is, we never were.

I've changed careers several times.

I've explored many different paths.

And for a long time, I believed that was a problem.

I felt that maybe I wasn't investing in the right skills. That I wasn't studying what I should. That I wasn't focused enough. That I would miss opportunities because of it.

I often compared myself to people whose paths seemed much clearer than mine.

Even after leaving the corporate world, those voices stayed with me.

When it came to painting, for example, I often thought I should take courses, specialize, learn more technique.

I kept asking myself:

"What am I actually an expert in?"

I have so many interests.

So many passions.

But what am I truly investing in?

At the same time, I never felt the desire to take endless painting courses.

Because I paint very intuitively.

Not every technical skill is there.

But that freedom allows me to stay much closer to the creative source than if I were constantly trying to fit my work into a specific technique.

Still, that never seemed enough for those inner voices.

Until one day, something became incredibly clear.

I've actually been specializing for a long time.

I've been specializing in reading energy.

And I continue to do so.

I realized I don't need to find another specialty.

I've already found it.

Everything I study, everything I explore, every tool I learn shares the same foundation.

Reading energy.

There are simply many different ways of expressing it.

Through aura readings.

Through systemic constellations.

Through painting.

Or through any other tool that becomes part of my path.

The tools are just that: tools.

What I'm truly developing is the ability to read energy and use that ability to support self-awareness, healing, liberation and growth, both for the people I work with and, first of all, for myself.

For a long time I called this personal development.

And it still is.

But now I see there's another layer beneath it.

I choose to apply energetic reading to personal development.

I could apply it somewhere else.

But this is where I choose to place it.

And that realization brought me something else too.

I can continue being someone with many interests.

Many passions.

Many ways of expressing myself.

I can keep exploring everything that sparks my curiosity.

Because now I know there is a common thread running through it all.

At the heart of everything I do lies one clear specialization.

Reading energy.

And, interestingly enough, that's true even when I paint.
