S01E09 Beginners Mind

Do you remember what it was like learning a new skill as a kid? No? Well, that’s probably because learning was just a part of everything you did! Everything was new and everything required practice. Now, as an adult, you mostly know who you are – you know what your passions are, you have your hobbies, you go to a job every day that you know how to perform well, and you have a pretty clear idea of what your different roles are in life. That comfort, security, and stability is key to a happy life, but often makes it difficult to revert back to the state of insecurity and vulnerability, or the ‘beginner’s mind,’ required to effectively learn new skills.
