A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Productive engagement comes from learning new concepts. It also involves gaining new perspectives. I relate to this as a lifelong learner.
Today of all days, this quote resonated with me as I engage in new things at work that initially made me feel slightly unqualified.
This is where the magic happens, when you’re a beginner again. You feel awkward, uncertain, but fully present in the face of something new.
It’s the spark that ignites our motivation, driving us to find purpose and direction in a work day that might otherwise feel aimless and unfulfilling.
Today, I will do my best to overcome the apprehensions that often hold me back. I recognize that my procrastinating tendencies along with imposter syndrome is often the cause of it, but I will try.
