🔼: [[☀️ Curiosity]] ###### Beginner's Mind (Shoshin) > "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the experts there are few." > – Shunryu Suzuki > "Always remain a beginner, this is the secret of Zen." > – Suzuki Roshi No matter how experienced we are, there is always more to learn and room to grow. Revisit teachings over and over with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Rather than discarding a question when we find an answer, continue asking the question – *live* in questions. By keeping our original attitude of a beginner, our wonder, [[intuition]], and creativity arise and understanding naturally deepens, enlivens, and enriches itself. - We ask Why, why, why and then quickly realize we don't know very much.
