I’ve started a new endeavor recently. This has put me in a place of not knowing. I am not the expert. I am learning. When working on the project, I noticed that I got defensive when someone started asking questions that I didn’t have the answers to. I felt exposed. My inexperience might show.

And then I took a step back and asked myself, “What’s wrong with not knowing?”. I am at the start of something I’ve never done before. If I get defensive every time I don’t know something I will only do myself a disservice. I will hamper my education.

But if I accept what I do not know and embrace the help of those that do, I will put myself in a posture of growth.
