When The Student is Ready, The Teacher Will Come

In life there are many cliché that you will encounter throughout your daily existence. It is important to keep in mind that each of these cliché were created with an intention to describe an emotion or life experience of someone that may or may not have truly believed in its meaning. Very similar to many of the creations within a person’s life, a cliché not only takes on a life of its own, but also adapts its meaning in accordance with its recipient.

When a cliché is embraced by someone other than its originator, its new ownership is easy to recognize through the owner’s acceptance and expression of this cliché.

A few of the most recognized cliché are:

Early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life.
The best things in life are free
You get what you pay for
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time
The truth will set you free

But my personal favorite of all cliché is “When the student is ready, the teacher will come”.

This cliché has had a dramatic effect on my life and the lives of those that have crossed my path. I have personally embraced this cliché by continuously seeking and sharing knowledge. In my belief in the power and respect of knowledge, I encourage knowledge to not only be available for me to find in books, audio and life experience. But also present itself through others introducing knowledge through their offerings, expressions and experiences.

“When the student is ready, the teacher will come” is not encouraged through waiting for a teacher because a person feels deserving. It is encouraged through application, preparation, acceptance, willingness, growth, confidence and commitment to your own development. In other words, you have the power to welcome the teacher through your own actions and belief.

Growth is obvious to those that are seeking in the same direction of life that you are. It is not the curriculum that attracts the teacher, it is your demonstration of commitment to your growth that welcomes the teacher into your life.

In the nature of how life functions, teachers will always seek students. It is the students choice to prepare for the next teacher, who will be arriving with the next lesson.

How do you feel about the cliché “When the student is ready, the teacher will come”? I’d like to know….
