As I am onboarding a new leader at work and mentoring two other new employees, I’ve been thinking a lot about beginner’s mind and the resistance to change.
I’ve been thinking about where I’m doing things in my life “the way I’ve always done them” and where I’m open to new possibilities.
What would happen if I put all of my assumptions away and looked at my life with fresh eyes? Is that even possible?
What if I wrote down my goals and then had to think of 6 different ways to get there? Would that help me realize that there is no one right way? Would that help me be open to ways that I can’t brainstorm by myself?
As we talk about going “back” to “normal” life the way things were, I’m wondering if this is the perfect time to revisit some assumptions and challenge myself to be more open minded. More creative and resourceful.
Yes to shifting perspective and yes to questioning assumptions.
