Expand beyond what you’re good at

You like to stick with what you’re good at if you’re living from ego/mind.
 
You like to expand to new skills and explorations if you’re living from soul/spirit.
 
If you’re very good at something it feels great for a while but in time you lose interest. If you keep at it beyond that point, then it’s to prop up your ego or to hold on to the money it makes you, but it won’t let allow the real-self grow.
 
Other people might also continue to see you in the old role and resist your move beyond it. But don’t let others define you or tell you what you’re supposed to be doing or focusing on. They don’t know your heart. Because most people don’t dare venture beyond what they feel safe and cozy with, they’ll judge you when you venture beyond. You’re not here on Earth to appease them, you’re here to experience as much as you can in your short time.
 
If you’re very good at it – quit!
 
I guess that’s the opposite of what the world teaches you. The world teaches “If you’re very good at it, keep doing that for the rest of your life”.
 
Or, if you don’t want to quit it altogether, you could at least delegate it. Have someone else do it on your behalf. That clears up time and mental space to explore and learn new, fresh, interesting skills.
 
It’s entirely natural to lose interest in what you’re good at. Your purpose here on Earth is to keep expanding, not to rest on your laurels.
