A lot has happened since I last wrote a post, I have moved to Taiwan and settled here. I have longed to come here for awhile now. I think it must have been about a year ago when I started to have the idea of living in the Orient and now it has become a reality. The question that continues to plague me on a daily basis is “why am I here?” There must be a reason why I wanted to be here.
Deep down inside, I feel like I am here because people need to hear what I have to say. I want to teach people about the law of attraction and how break free of their limiting beliefs. I sometimes doubt myself and I would think, “Why me? There are tons of great teachers around.” In these moments of doubt I would remind myself that there are simply not enough teachers around. Different types of students tend to be attracted to different types of teachers. No matter what kind of students are out there, there will be some that will appreciate me!
I am sharpening my Mandarin in preparation for teaching people here. I bought The Secret DVD in Chinese so I can learn how things are translated here. I am playing this movie at the apartment complex I live in this coming Saturday and Sunday and holding a little gathering after the movie for anyone who has questions.
I must admit I feel a little bit scared that no one will show up. Maybe this is pure ego, I don’t want to look bad. With this awareness I know that even if there was no one there I would not take it personally because it would have nothing to do with who I am or my success as a teacher in personal / spiritual development. Anyone who has ever started something new may have once feared of failure. A person starting a business may fear that there will be no customers, a teacher starting a class may fear that there will be no students.
If one person shows up, I will teach one person, if no one shows up, I will go home and teach my son and tell him a bed time story about attracting his favorite snacks :P
