"In the Beginner’s Mind, there are Many Possibilities. In the Expert’s Mind, there are Few."
Shunryu Suzuki
When it comes to being told something; some of us are habitually more defensive than others. You’ll know if you are that way inclined if you’ve ever witnessed an internal response that oozes resistance and retaliation, and sounds something like – “I KNOW!”, when in actual fact all that you know is a response; more than likely formed by a pattern of “self-confirmation and preservation”.
