Learning From More Than One Teacher

<p>The family road trip to Boulder today with our son at the wheel became fodder for tonight's Coffee Break.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's interesting to me how many times I've fallen for the fallacy that there is only one right way to do things. Seems this is a common one for other people in my circles, too.</p> <p>I noticed today that there were two teachers in the car and growing frustration on the part of the driver at having to listen to either or both of us. I realized then that I was seeing a truth that applies in so many areas of my life.</p> <p>In my career, business path, and life in general, I've had a lot of voices of experience to listen to. I'm sure we all have. But ultimately the decisions we make don't belong to the teachers, they are ours alone.</p> <p>Watching Bodhi navigate new roads with these disparate voices of experience talking into both ears was a stark lesson. He made the decisions he thought best, no matter what the voices of authority said.</p> <p>I think there's a lesson there for all of us.</p> <p>#independence #freedom #choice&nbsp;</p>
