“Maybe the most important thing I can share with my own kids and the kids I teach — my nonexpert/expert’s advice — is to hold onto your beginner’s mind. Approach each moment as if it is brand-new and stay open to that newness. You have the tools within you to breathe, to be present, to make choices, and to be kind to yourself. You can practice using these tools, knowing that you will inevitably mess it up and will have to start again, try again. Instead of seeking perfection, looking for an outcome, going through the motions because you think you’ve been here and done this before, embrace curiosity and wonder. See what you can discover and what there is to learn, feel, and experience in each moment when you are a beginner.”
