Episode 72. Outgrowing your teachers

Have you put your teacher/mentor on a pedestal?

Are you struggling with accepting the fact that you've outgrown your teacher and it's time to either move on to another teacher more suited to your needs or realise that it's time you become your own teacher? Are you afraid of offending them or perhaps avoiding dealing with it because it's uncomfortable?

Maybe you are afraid of embracing your own greatness and leaving your old teacher is like taking the stabilisers of your bike as you try to master cycling by yourself. Fear of all the falls, the cuts and bruises, and fear of failure.

It could also be that you still have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and you keep seeking external knowledge and guidance to satiate that, which leads to moving from teacher to teacher, course to course, and retreat to retreat. In this case it could be that it is time to start looking within much more deeply and learning to establish and develop inner guidance.
