I remember watching my professors while obtaining my doctorate degree.
I remember starting my anatomy master’s degree, thinking I still had so little figured out.
I wanted to know it all – and I wanted to know it RIGHT NOW.
As I taught an NKT seminar this weekend, I saw the overwhelmed face of each student.
They said things to me like this:
“I want to know what you know.”
“I want to have it all figured out.”
I can relate.
I don’t have it all figured out. But I have some ways to help.
But I would never take that feeling away from them.
That overwhelmed feeling sets them up for successful failure. Now, they can actually LEARN something.
I would never take away their learning process by feeding them all the answers.
Knowing what you know is lovely. But the process of learning? That is the result.
Get uncomfortable.
Successfully fail.
Learn something.
Get excited about the process being the result.
