Gurus come in all shapes and sizes. Each one is responsible for my learning journey. There are no labels on experiences, labels on people are there? It is what I take from each interaction that counts.
Some things I have learned this year:
When my students' resources are challenged, when their right to access is hindered, I do not stay silent. I stand up and speak.
When I keep discussions issue based, some people don't like it.
When I stand up for the courage of my convictions, their whispers don't matter
When I work hard at something and people label it is as deficient or 'whatever', I don't beat myself up.
When I do not open the presents of negative labels and comments, these gifts get returned to the sender.
Here it is then: the big learning moment for me. My work, my efforts and my learning are what they mean to me. My mistakes and AHA moments teach me to be more, to see more, to grow.
Everything else is headed for the compost heap. And it makes the soil richer for new ideas and blossoming of positive energy.
So back to sender it is.
Happy day!
