Teaching Moments

Teaching moments aren't easy for the teacher or the student.

You might be the member, thinking"Oh man, she's picking on me."

Or you might be the coach, thinking "How the heck can I get this point across? How can I get her to change that movement?"

But you're both in a situation that could be so illuminating if you allow it to be.

Let go of your ego and your fears. 

Let go of the idea that you have to be accomplished in every single moment of your life. Open your heart, open your mind, and learn.

Apply the student mentality everywhere you can today, and see what happens.

There are more experts in your world—on so many subjects—than you realize. They are in your gym, in the coffee shop, in your workplace, and in your neighborhood. And the loudest voice is not always (or even often) the most educated, so learn to listen to the quiet ones too. Seek out those who would share their secrets. Become enraptured by the truthtellers and just smile at the blowhards.

But learn. Always learn.
