Where can I benefit most from a beginner's mindset?
Sunday, September 17th, 2023
When we grant ourselves the opportunity to experience 'beginner’s luck,' we welcome one of the fundamental elements of accelerated learning into our lives: play. Embracing the role of a beginner allows us to make mistakes, experience failures, conduct experiments, and attempt once more without the weight of judgment. No one anticipates perfection from a novice. Regrettably, we frequently become entangled in superficial standards that we wouldn't impose on others who are just commencing their learning journey. Consequently, we deny ourselves the chance to explore something new. By moving forward devoid of the beginner's mindset, we forego the opportunity to draw upon our community or network for support in our learning, benefiting from their wisdom and experience.
Below, I offer some recommended resources to assist you with the question of the week. I’ll post my reflection before the end of the week on my YouTube page.?
