Be a Beginner
May 19, 2008 by enchantingsunshine.
You can learn new things at any time in your life if you’re willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you. ~Barbara Sher
It’s wonderfully comforting to feel in control, to feel smart, to feel like you know what you’re doing, but by learning to be comfortable with not knowing, with feeling awkward, with “looking stupid” you can learn so much more. Go ahead! Ask questions! Look stupid! Don’t care what other people think. In the end, you’ll look so much smarter, and gain respect as someone with a desire to grow than you would by letting your ego stand in the way of accomplishing what you want. You owe it to yourself.
