We Are All Teachers

Each individual human being is a teacher. In the lives of each of us, there is another that emulates, copies, learns from, and/or strives to be like us. We teach whether we want to or not, whether we realize it or not.

Every action we take or do not take, every word we say or do not say, every minute of our day is a lesson for someone.

What do we choose to teach?

Get Started! Figure It Out Later

Isn’t there something to be said with just getting started?

I mean, one can only think and try to figure it out so long. At some point, that person will have to jump in and get off the dock, or nothing is ever going to happen.

If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
                                                         — Mahatma Gandhi

This is a very common concept actually, in the personal development and financial freedom environment. The general consensus is that it’s best to get started, get it going, and figure it out on the way. See what works, what doesn’t, and what could use a little tweaking here and there. At least this way you are moving forward. I tend to agree with this principle also.

On a personal note, a lot of things I have done this year have been this way. I learn best in the middle of doing. I do a minimum of research before hand to understand the issue and to know how to get started, then I get the project off and running. The learning comes with the doing.
