We shut down possibility.
A beginner’s mind asks you to get clear on the problem before you look at the tools that might solve the problem.
The person who is reluctant to save £500 a month towards a pension, because they don’t have the money, they want to go on holiday and the kid’s fees need paying.
Is the same person who is happy to accept they require a pension pot of £500,000 to provide a £3,000 a month income to pay the bills when they retire.
When we bypass today’s feelings, assumptions, and biases to take in possibility. We get the chance to start again. Only this time without the faulty thinking that holds us back.
