It's always good to be reminded that this is part of being human! (All too often I think I'm the only one who struggles with this! So, REALLY, thanks for sharing!

Right now, to be reminded of this, AND THAT IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE "PERFECT" AT WHAT I TEACH, is just the reminder I need right now as I consider a huge change in my career path. I have always been strongly interested in a career involving personal development/spiritual growth--counseling in particular--but I have shied away from pursuing that dream because I recognize how much I need to grow and evolve myself. Numerous recent events in my life have made it clear to me that my current career path is no longer viable or even desirable. Your words give me courage to accept myself and my Heart's dream, and to give myself permission to pursue it--finally. ☺ I am sincerely grateful. All the best-- Cindy ☺ Dear Mike:

Thank you much for your words. ☺

My profession here in Germany is a teacher. I teach English - at the moment not in schools - private tutoring. I have been busy with the language now for 38 years. I like it a lot. But what I notice is that although so many years have elapsed and I am still enthusiastic about the English language - there are new words every day I stumble upon. And very often I have to look up some grammar rules when I have older pupils. I never get to a level where I am full of an exaggerated self confidence. I really see that while teaching, I can learn a lot myself. This idea is really great. I wish you good luck in what you do. Thank you for your ideas. be well, Hedi Dear Mike, I liked that article a lot. My profession here in Germany is a teacher. I teach English - at the moment not in schools - private tutoring.

I am also reminded that what I teach is also what I need to recognize most in myself. I think some times I hold myself to this ridged path that I am on, and that I must live it every second of the day or others will see me as a failure. If that is the case then where is the room for me to evolve, learn, grow, teach. Knowing that I am aware means I am still in process, and growing with you. After all the teacher is only responsible for their path, not mine. Thank you for showing your willingness to be vulnerable. With Great Respect Allen Mike;
