More Than Enough
Every decision and event led you to where you are.
You were meant for it.
You are more than enough and you are better than you think you are.
Every year, around the month of August, teachers start a new journey. Teachers know some details of the journey ahead, yes, but they know very little about the road closures, detours, and frustrations along the way. Some of us begin this new journey with a bubbling feeling while others feel anxious, experiencing sleepless nights and moments of fear. Whatever and however the journey is for you, remember that you are more than enough and you are better than you think you are!
Teacher, you have the power to rewrite moments: from negative to positive; overwhelming to calmness, chaos to solutions. You have done it before and we can do it again. In times of weariness take an intentional pause then restart the journey. You don’t need perfection for this journey, only endurance.
For this school year, as we take with us lesson plans, varied and much needed materials, favorite snacks to get through the day, whatever it may be, let us take with us the perspective of purpose. Every decision and event led you to where you are.
You were meant for it.
You are more than enough and you are better than you think you are.
