Teachers: Empower Yourself to Empower Others

No Comments

 

A super sweet message I received

I LOVE YOU!! YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I replied, “Thanks so much for your sweet note, and don’t forget, YOU have changed your life. Happy for you! xo keep in touch!”

Don’t ever forget when you have a transformation, physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional, that you are helping yourself. You may be inspired by a teacher or a friend, but you are doing the work for yourself. Make sure to acknowledge your self, so you can stand on your own two feet, in your power.

 

Dear Teachers, please remind people when they thank you for changing their lives that they are doing the work on their own.

 

You are a guide, someone who directs a path. You don’t walk it for someone else.

A great way to empower people is to actually empower them. Remind people they have power and are doing a great job. Remind people you are there to help, but you aren’t giving them anything they don’t already have inside.

When you claim responsibility for transforming someone, you are doing psychological damage to them, and to yourself. You keep them in a feedback loop connected to you. It sends out a message that you are needed for transformation – that the person’s own spirit, drive, choices, and power are not in the driver’s seat. It sends a message that you need others to depend on you as a source of your own power, rather than happily occupying the driver’s seat of your own life.

Don’t fear that you won’t have anyone left to teach if you remind everyone they have power. We all see this fear taking hold in the world of teachers. It creates a kind of teaching that makes people – and the teacher – less capable in their lives.

 

When you remind people they have power, you lift them to live creatively, intuitively, inspiringly. You remind yourself to do the same.

 

You will have plenty of people to guide when you refine your intentions as a teacher, and more importantly, as a kind and useful person.

You can only give what you have.

Empower yourself. Empower each other.
