Are you hiding from your own power?

Those who can’t ‘do’ teach.

This like many sayings is of course an oversimplification.


Can’t isn’t really an appropriate word.  “Can’t” implies that there is one way to do something, if you can’t be a famous movie star, you end up teaching improv?  Well, perhaps you’ll choose to teach improv, that is of course a choice. 

Teaching can be a place to hide.  From what!? From your own greatness, from your potential, from turning potential energy into kinetic energy. 

It is not always the case of course. 

I personally have ended up teaching many things - not as a teacher, which is a position you need certification for. I have reverence for teachers.  I’ve been an educator for many years. Educating in various areas.  The problem was not in my educating, but in letting this be a shadow appeasement of my dreams and desires to create art. Music. Movies. To Act.

Those who are afraid may hide in plain sight. This is less simple than the above statement, but I believe much truer.

Are you hiding from your fear or maybe your self?
