The Inner Creates The Outer

November 11, 2009

You can’t plant beans and grow potatoes, any more than you can expect a class to perform when a teacher’s energy is somewhere else.

One of the big challenges of life and teaching is knowing what it is that we want and our willingness to create it.

Teachers who seek greater job satisfaction may want to clarify: 

• The kind of class they want to create
•  What type of energy they want in the room
• The skills they want their students to take with them
• What they want to be known for
• The parent/teacher relationship and its affect on the student

We produce, not what we say we want, but rather what’s in our heart, which brings to light a universal law that we rarely consider, “The inner creates the outer.”
