We can be our best by being a rookie. Rookies start with brimming enthusiasm and a view of possibility and invincibility. They have the self-belief that they can achieve regardless of any challenges. Rookies are rarely even aware of the difficulties, but those are immaterial in light of the opportunity they are pursuing.

How often do we not pursue an idea because we see all the issues or the challenges and believe we cannot overcome them?  That is not the rookie mentality.

If we want to make progress, significant progress, unleash the rookie.  Step into the opportunity, see your potential, and don’t allow much to hold you back.  The veteran may be savvy but can also be jaded and overly cautious.
