“Follow your instincts. That's
where true wisdom manifests itself.”
~Oprah
Winfrey
In our personal and professional lives we are constantly
confronted with opportunities to change and grow. Every single day we are forced to make
decisions. As educators we pride
ourselves in continuous improvement and decision making based on theory and research. At the same time we also need to trust our
instincts. We cannot use our reliance on
our gut feelings as an excuse to ignore important information and opportunities
to learn and grow. We need to gather
information by trusting the process of continual growth, examining it through
our basic instincts because in many ways instincts can be defined as an impromptu
manifestation of our core values. We
must stay true to our basic beliefs, and positive change occurs when we
interrogate new ideas or practices against our beliefs. In the moment, the best way to check the congruence
is to trust our intuition! We may make
mistakes, but usually instincts are not random but a reflection of what we know
to be true and right.
Have a great week!
