Being a beginner can be frustrating

For me, it’s often not the learning process itself, but the thoughts and feelings of inadequacy that arise from comparing my progress with others. I have to practice letting go, and being in the moment, learning again to be fully present with whatever it is I am working with and learning, remembering why I am chose to learn, enjoying the experience for what it is without the need for it to be anything other than what it is. It is not easy, but it is valuable.
