Beginner's Mind

Each day provides us with a new beginning. This is especially meaningful when we approach each day with a beginner's mind. If you find you experience some resistance at being seen as a 'beginner' at anything, you may be short changing yourself in the learning department.

Chris Majer, author of The Power to Transform tells us that we start the process of authentic learning by becoming a beginner. The power of this comes out of accepting three things:

• The awareness that pretending you know something you don't

know keeps you away from developing the level of competence that can lead to your success.

• The need for a competent coach, • Authentic learning is more important and valuable than looking

cool.

That last point may be the most challenging of the three. I certainly have become aware, as a result doing the work called for in The Power to Transform over the past few months, that making a decision to learn something new means risking looking very uncool. More than that, deciding to release what I think I know... in favor of approaching everything as a beginner, has revealed to me a much harsher 'inner critic' blasting me continually. And yet it's also revealed to me just how much my assumption that I knew anything, was getting in the way of the real learning that was available to me.

Today, I'm happy to share with great enthusiasm that I am a beginner. I celebrate the new beginning each day brings and know that now I move with peaceful acceptance, letting the process unfold while I practice my way to competence in a variety of areas.

How about you? Ready to start a new year with a beginner's mind? You may be surprised at all there is to learn!

The best thing about network marketing for me is that it asks... even encourages... me to seek out people who are willing to explore and share their dreams and vision. It gives me reason to invite people to share— from their heart— early in our relationship. I love this because sharing dreams and clarifying

vision puts us together in an energy that feels so good— so alive. It opens us up to take inspired action, which consistently results in greater and greater levels of success. What a joy sharing this kind of ride with others! — Mary K.

"What I admire most about Mary K. is that she literally and figuratively incarnates one of my most treasured quotes: Dag Hammerskjöld's "To all that has been— Thanks. To all that will be— Yes!" She speaks about the joy of sharing this 'ride' with others. Mary K. IS the joy— to know and to work with." — JMF In addition to editing the articles for TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com, one of the projects Mary K is involved in is contributing to raising vibrations in partnership with TheMagicHappens.com, a magazine
