"Beginner's Mind"

Over the years, we come to see life as we expect it to be.
We make assumptions about how things ARE.
We make expectations of others and of ourselves based on those assumptions.

"Beginner 's Mind" is a Zen Buddhist term that describes moving past our assumptions of the nature of our life, and really SEEING our surroundings - especially the people we interact with - with new eyes.
