Be open to the new learning. The way to develop and grow is to let go of what you think you know and be open to what is new. Sometimes the beliefs that keep us from learning are very sticky – it takes a lot openness and self-kindness to become unstuck and turn some of the new things you are learning into action. Hang in there.
