When The Student Is Ready

The adage continues, “...the teacher will appear.” In some instances, I’m the teacher and others, the student. Sometimes it’s required for me to share my experience, others instances require me to humble myself, listen, and learn.

Over the last few months, I’ve been fortunate enough to play both roles. I’ve been able to learn a bunch of new things. I’ve had the chance to speak with people on four continents, about a dozen or so countries, and get some insights quite different from my own.

When others share their perspective and listen intently, I gain a perspective other than my own. I learn and see things from a different lens. The experiences have been enlightening and I revel in the opportunity to continue on this path. I’m so fortunate to live in this moment of existence. A global society tethered via the internet and social media platforms have afforded us the ability to meet, greet, listen, and learn from those with unique perspectives, without having to be physically present. It’s amazing.

Today, Wednesday, June 15, 2022, I am grateful that:

I was able to meet a few more people yesterday. I’m getting more comfortable with getting active. I haven’t been working to develop business. My focus has been creating, but since that phase is completed, it’s about selling what I’ve created.

Some of my recent partnerships are solidifying. It’s cool to see them forming and I’m excited to see how they’ll manifest over the coming weeks and months.

I’m back to writing. I’m thinking it’s time to start publishing my lists. It’ll be interesting to see the effects of my writings on others. My hope is they’ll prove impactful.

Are you able to discern when you’re the one learning or teaching?

When it’s time to learn, are you humble enough to actually do so?

When it’s time to teach, are you able to transfer your knowledge?

Are you patient and tolerant, ensuring you’re not condescending?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
