The Beginner’s Mind

​Do you ever feel like you’re doing the same thing over and over again?  Are you bored and looking to try something new?

STOP.  Before you quit your job, end your relationship, buy a new house/car...ask yourself first:
Do you really need to try/buy something new or do you need to look at something old in a new way?  

Often times, we give up on things too early when we get bored.  We may start to think that we need a change when what we really need a change in perspective.  

If you changed jobs every time you get bored, you may not stay long enough to reap the rewards that you could have had had you stayed dedicated and committed to something.  Imagine changing relationships every 2 years?  What would you miss?

So, how can you change your perspective?  

Go back to a beginner’s mind.  Remember when you first learned to drive a car, you were hyper aware of everything?  You got so excited just to get into the car and were nervous turning it on and you checked every mirror 10 times before pulling out of your driveway.  

How about the feelings you have when you first start a relationship?  The butterflies in your stomach, excitement of meeting someone for the first time.  You got excited about NOVELTY.  

The beginner’s mind is about newness.  See if you can look at your current job, relationships, etc in a new way.  How can you create something new where you are?
