Embrace the Game of Life with Confidence and Curiosity: Lessons from a Pickleball ClinicThis past weekend, I ventured into the vibrant world of Pickleball. Though it might seem like a mere weekend game, the profound insights I gained were anything but ordinary.
Observing my fellow beginners, I noticed two distinct attitudes. Some players, trapped in their fear of judgment, apologized for every miss and let their self-doubt overshadow the joy of the game. Meanwhile, others approached the experience with beginner’s joy and played with total delight, embracing every hiccup.
Several players confided their performance anxieties to me. Channeling my inner mentor, I shared the same advice I give to my students who attend my retreat to learn Neuro-Lingusitic Programming, “If you were a pro, you wouldn’t be here. immerse yourself in the joy of learning.” ✨
Remarkably, those who embraced their perceived imperfections and played with an open heart had the most enjoyable time. This led me to ponder: Isn’t this a metaphor for life?
Many of us, in our daily lives, are constrained by the fear of looking unskilled or making mistakes. But what if we approached new experiences fueled by Confidence and Curiosity? 🌱
As you play the game of life, approach it with a beginner’s mindset. This approach will make each experience richer and ensure your journey is packed with joy.
Here’s to embracing the beginner within you and finding joy in the journey!
Warm wishes, 💕 Sandra
