Worry seems to be rampant, especially (ironically) among the most "advanced" members of our society - the talented, the intellectuals, the ones who are often called upon to serve as expert witnesses. Perhaps it is due to our anxieties about the past, or worries about the future. Maybe it is due to unfulfilled desires, or unhealthy attachments to the things and relationships we have acquired. Whatever the source, it is clear that worry is not useful. According to the Zen tradition, worry is a cancer of the emotions - concern gone compulsive. It eats away at body and mind.
An expert witness, more so than others, has a powerful intellect that can regulate the anxieties of the past and worries for the future. An expert witness has a higher calling and does not have time or energy for such worries. Similarly, an expert witness, already esteemed by his colleagues as having achieved mastery of his field, is able to use his intellect to keep the ever-increasing desires of the mind in check. A true expert wtness does not become attached to things and relationship in an unhealthy way.
The expert witness has high energy levels because he has a high ideal: ensuring that the cause of justice prevails in an important legal matter. The world will ever and always be a constant parade of violence, conflict and injustice. It is enough to take care of yourself and do something good for those you meet. That is why it is imperative for an expert witness to answer the call of justice.
If an opportunity presents itself, whether by chance, by your own expert marketing, or by an expert witness referral firm, answer the call. If you are qualified and believe in the cause of the party you represent, do your duty and become an expert witness, even if you are "busy." Help because it is in your power to help. After you have acted, after you have completed your service as an expert witness, withdraw and be unconcerned about it, unconcerned about the outcome. Walk on without ever mentioning it to anybody. Then there is no worry, because there has been action.
