When the Student(You) is Ready, the Teacher(Knowledge) will appear!

This famous saying from the Buddhist Proverb is sometimes so misunderstood. I felt it was necessary to write this post to help you to better understand what that this extremely profound quote really means.

Our path in life isn't written in stone, but it is however our journey to get to the same place we were destined to be. I'll say that another way, we have choices in life to go; forward, back, right, left, ultimately leading to the same place, but we are given choices in life to take the easy road, or the hard one. The choices are yours to make depending on what you need to learn in this lifetime.

ONE LESSON Can Change Everything:


Life is nothing more than to experience it, to live it, to learn from it. We take these life lessons with us on our path. Each lesson leads us to another one, but sometimes in our lives we come to a road block, that is the pivotal moment when we need to listen for our teacher to appear. Now when I say teacher, this will come in many different forms, not necessarily a person who teaches per se, but something you need at that very moment to increase your vibration level in life. Something that will profoundly change the way you view things, the change will come from within and at that moment, the world around you will also change as well.

I'll tell you a story about me that was very profound. All my life I've been successful on my own. Didn't finish high school because I knew I could and would do things on my own. Had a successful advertising agency for over 10 years, but something within me was gnawing on my psyche. Something didn't seem right, my success wasn't making me happy, and it was taking me further from being true to myself.

Now I've battled blood disorders since I was 18, none of which ever mattered to me at all, I kept pushing forward, but about four years ago, my conditions threw me a massive curve ball and forced me to stop working all together. This forced me to shut down my business and focus on my health.

This lesson was a major slap in the face. I realized that my true self wasn't to help others get rich, but to help enrich their lives instead.

But I didn't get to that point only because of my health, I was ready to finally listen to my heart and ask the right questions which led me to my faith, support groups, which also helped me to start writing again.

See, there are moments in life that hits you hard, this is the moment you have to listen deeply within, the universe and your guides are trying to tell you something. That you, on the path you have chosen needs to veer to the left or right, a sharp turn for a greater purpose. If you don't listen to those moments and keep on going, you're only going to go deeper into your cave which will take even more effort to climb back out of.

ONE BOOK Can Change Everything:


This one I love to talk about all the time. Have you even been given a book by a friend who said YOU HAVE TO READ THIS NOW, but you just put it on the shelf for later? Or have you gone to the book store, bought 3-4 books and knew exactly which book to read first?

For those of you who put that book on the shelf, you(student) weren't ready to read that knowledge(teacher), until one day you decide to read it. All of a sudden, you're knee deep into this book, you can't put it down, your heart races to read the next page and then you finally finish it.

Something has happened to you, when someone gave you that book, they knew you would plow through it because they saw something in you that, if you just read that book, you would understand. But at the time they gave that specific reading material to you, you're knowledge and spiritual vibration level up to that point wasn't ready for its teachings.

When that knowledge was given to you, there was some profound event in your life that had to happen before you could accept he wisdom inside. It may have been that you needed a bad, emotional, life altering event before you started listening to the wind and being true to yourself. When that moment happened, you(the student) was ready to accept the wisdom(the teacher) and you finally pick up that book for no good reason except is just felt like you needed to (when the student is ready, the teacher will appear).

Now for those of you who know exactly what I'm talking about, how did that knowledge feel? It felt like the writer was speaking directly to you? About you, right? That's how you know your energy level and readiness was perfect. The stars came into alignment for you to finally listen to your soul, to finally give in and truly let the wisdom reach your heart.

ONE PERSON Can and Will Change Everything:


Here's where it gets tricky. When something very profound happens in your life and you don't know how to get out of your sticky situation, this is the moment you need to start listening to people, truly listening to people.

Many of you have those friends or family members that are always giving you advice on life, but you just brush it off every time because you've heard them say it a million times before. Except now, something has changed inside, you're different somehow and all of a sudden, everything those people tried to tell you previously are starting to make perfect sense. Like you took the ear plugs out and heard everything clearly.

When you finally let go of whatever was hanging you up, people in your life will come to you and everything they say will matter a great deal. There's a lesson to be learned, you just have to listen intensively and take in everything they say, no matter how strange it may seem.

By you starting to listen, you'll start noticing other people as well who will come into your life all of a sudden, because what they are saying is also completely making sense to you, you feel gravitated to them. It's at that moment when a real human teacher will appear. Don't be afraid to open up to this person. 9 /10 times, this new friend has gone through the exact same thing that you're going through, that's why the universe put you both on the same path to meet each other.

Letting these people into your life will be life-altering. It may even disrupt your relationships with your family or friends. Don't worry this is normal, you're now changing and your friends might feel like they are losing you. In a sense they are, but it's at that profound moment that they need to change with you, or lose you to change.

Take the Wisdom and Fly:


It's very important that you take all the information you can get, the "things" that you've just learned are very serious and should be explored to every degree. This message that was waiting for you isn't going to change you, this change will come from you wanting to change, accepting this change and flying with the wisdom inside of you.

The more you accept your new self, the more you world will start to make sense, the more things will start coming to you from all directions. People in your life will see this changes and notice you seem different somehow, you're probably smiling more, your connections and bonds are getting stronger somehow. These are all symptoms of increasing your intake of wisdom the universe has provided for you.

Accept your new self, go with it, run with it, don't look back, turn back, step back, revert back, there is no going back!!!

You're the student, soon you will become the teacher for someone else. Be that person people see inside of you, believe in it, show others what you've been shown for now you will find people who are going through the same thing you did just a little bit ago.

Namaste Everyone!
