Dick Fosbury looked foolish jumping backwards at the 1968 Olympics. But he was willing to be a beginner again on the world stage, and the 'Fosbury Flop' changed high jumping forever. True experts aren't afraid to start over.

With a few deep breaths, welcome yourself to this moment.

Open up your field of awareness, observing with a fresh set of “eyes”, everything that is passing through your mind.

Allow each thought to simply come and go. Becoming an objective observer of your mind allows you to find the space between you and your inner thoughts.

Today, I commit to approaching everything with a beginner’s mind.

I choose to enter the day with wonder.

I choose to open myself to new possibilities.

I choose to remain curious.

I choose to notice details I don’t normally see.

I choose not to compare what I am experiencing to previous experiences.

One of my college essays, found in my late father’s papers. So much to unlearn and learn, then and now. #BeginnersMind

“If the mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few.”

Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind; p. 21.

Is refusing to change a mark of wisdom or foolishness? How do we balance principles and adaptation to keep learning and growing?

"Thinkers through the ages — from Zen master Shunryu Suzuki to Henry David Thoreau — have suggested that we cultivate 'not-knowing' along with learning."

Big Think:
Do you crave deeper knowledge? Go Zen and learn to forget

"For the clarity of a 'beginner’s mind' and a path to true and lasting wisdom, one must fully embrace 'not-knowing.'"

Sooo, hab jetzt mal angefangen, meine Kontakte von der Vogelseite hier zu suchen. Auch wenn ich drüben eh nicht besonders aktiv war: Wird jetzt wohl wirklich Zeit, sich hier ein neues Zuhause zu basteln. Bin gespannt #neuhier #beginnersmind

In craft-based disciplines, you can often tell how experienced someone is by how basic or advanced their questions are when they’re learning something in the craft.

The more experienced they are, the more basic the questions they ask.

The journey to virtue

The journey of the wise to virtue is as a journey to a remote land, or the ascent of a high mountain. People who travel to a faraway place start with a single step, and those who climb a high mountain start from the bottom.
