Once You've Been Knocked Down, Whats Next?

As future educators sometimes we find ourselves losing our passion when life knocks us down. While here in school were overwhelmed by: making the grades,working part time jobs, staying involved on campus, and passing our certification exams. This can sometimes consume us where we feel like there is no where else to turn, but I think i might have found the solution. This solution may help some, but I can't speak for all. Every educator has a different path of life they must follow, and different ways of reaching their destination.

 We have to understand sometimes that we may do everything that is humanly possible to do to gain our goal, but sometimes we still fall short. This happens because we are sometimes meant to fail because it is a way of telling us that we aren’t ready yet or something better is coming our way. You can’t force what isn’t meant to happen because if you do you receive something prematurely and you may not be emotionally ready for what comes next.

There is a mountain inside all of us that buries something amazing, that covers a dream, idea or gift that has been there all along waiting for you to use the shovel of choice, to dig your mountain and explore… Knowing you’ll find something within that, give the world so much more.

My grandmother once told me: "It is good to spend 90% of your time on positive things because this will have a corrective effect on the remaining 10%."

A bird asked a Bee: you work so had to get honey and people steal that from you, don’t you feel bad?

Bee replied: no, because they can never steal my art of making honey. So never let anyone steal your Joy because no one can beat you at being you.

So us as educators sometimes must fall, so that we can have these marvelous comebacks. So I say once you've been knocked down.... GET BACK UP!
