Unconscious Competence

You know when you've been driving for a while, you can manage to get from A to B without registering any of the journey in between? This is unconscious competence - you are unconsciously doing what you need to do, it's automatic, no need to pay attention. I don't know about you, but I find it slightly disconcerting to find myself at point B without even the vaguest idea of how I got there.

It's odd enough in the 'real' world of car journeys...in the metaphorical world of the journey of life it is really wierd! On the plus side, it seems I am automatically moving in the right direction in my journey, unconsciously learning and growing...it's kinda nice not to have to pay full attention all the time!
