“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities but in the expert’s there are few.” – Shunryu Suzuki
Your Day 19 Making Time challenge:
For 19 minutes… Try something new
How do you know if you are going to love doing something if you have never tried it? So to do what you love, you need to be prepared to be a beginner. If you make a leap to something new and different, it is inevitable that there will be things you need to learn. And the fact is, you are not going to get it completely right first time. Consider new challenges as stepping-stones to doing what you love, and suddenly they seem a whole lot more exciting.
Today dive in and try something new. Sign yourself up for the class you’ve been thinking about, find out more about that group you heard about, or start reading up on a subject you’re interested in. You have 19 minutes… be brave and feel yourself come alive!
And remember this… It’s NORMAL not to be perfect. It’s HELPFUL to make mistakes. It’s GOOD to be playful and treat it like a game. In order to open your mind and grow, you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. And the great news is, you won’t be a beginner at it forever.
