Why is Growth important for you in Tucson?
The most dangerous sentence for your personal growth is: 'I already know that.' The moment you believe you are a master, you stop being a learner. While your brain loves routines and comfort, it only truly grows when it encounters the new and the challenging.
Maintaining a 'Beginner’s Mind' (or *Shoshin*) means looking at the world with fresh eyes every day, free from the baggage of assumptions and the blinders of expertise. True competence isn't shown through arrogance, but through intellectual humility. When you ask questions instead of just giving answers, you open doors to insights that are forever closed to the 'expert.' Your potential only ends where your curiosity dies.
Today, allow yourself to be a student again. Research suggests that new experiences and 'effortful learning' are the primary drivers of neuroplasticity, keeping your brain young and adaptable.
The Mechanism
Neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new synaptic connections—is highly stimulated by novelty and 'effortful learning.' Conversely, excessive expertise can lead to cognitive rigidity (the 'Einstellung Effect'), where old solutions prevent us from seeing new possibilities.
