What teachers look like trying to solve all of their classroom challenges. 🔄😩

Always choose kindness!

Ts know what a powerful force love can be. ❤️ (Reminder via T Eugene Pak) #LoveTeaching

The best teachers don’t seek to be the best teachers; they just seek to be their best self. Same is true of the best leaders. Don't strive to be the best at something, strive to be your best self!

About LOVE, for your valentine day, from The Motivation Manifesto: “THERE IS NO BEAUTY IN THE WORLD MORE PERFECT, more awe-inspiring, more human and transfixing than unfiltered, unashamed love. We are at our finest when we give and live in love, and at our worst when we hoard it, deny it, or choke it out of existence. Love, like nothing else, can make us soar to our highest heights or suffer our deepest lows. In the moments defined by the presence of love, we touch the face of our highest self and of the Divine. To stand emotionally open before the world and give of our hearts without fear of hurt, attachment, or demand of reciprocity—this is the ultimate act of human courage, this the ultimate experience of Personal Freedom. Love is our origin and our final destination. Our spirit was animated by the loving energy of a higher power, and as we release our last breath our spirits will dissipate back into that love. With love’s transcendent power, we can be reborn and redirected. When we open to it, life itself can feel newer, more alive, more magical and meaningful. When we ready ourselves for our ultimate destiny, when we release our childish, selfish needs and realign our priorities to those of the heart, we can finally reach those magnificent fields of human empathy, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and courage. We must stop pretending that there is not enough love in the world to give or receive, as though love can somehow be diminished or squandered by human force. Love is a divine energy, always present, accessible, flowing. If we accept this much, we can go further. We can let go of past hurts, for they have nothing to do with the reality of love itself. And we can stop playing our petty games, slowly pacing the release of our love to the world only when it feels safe. Limiting how much love we give to others because we fear lack is an act of cowardice, not divine strength. And so let us now sense love anew, from a different, divine perspective. Let us feel its abundance and let it emanate through us in its full force so that we might soar and serve at levels beyond human imagination. Let us declare: We Shall Amplify Love. LIFE’S ANIMATING ENERGY The desire to love and be loved is one of our most animating energies. All of our desires, all of our meaningful hopes and dreams, rest on and return again and again to love. Nothing remarkable in our personal growth can be achieved without opening to love and unleashing its joyful fire into the world. Life’s greatest victories are won on the fields of love.”
