It Just Takes Perspective

When I was just getting started as a teacher, I had a lot of nerves.

This job mattered to me. I was shaping other humans.

I'd get this feeling in my stomach like it was twisting and turning before large lessons.

This overwhelming feeling of uncertainty would take over.

"Don't mess this up."

During that same time, I made a friend named Sky - a neurobiology doc student.

After listening to my woes, she told me something profound,

"Nervousness and excitement light up the exact same place in your brain.

The only thing that changes is perspective."

Then, all of the sudden, all that twisting and turning felt a different kind of familiar.

Whatever it is.. however big it is..

you may as well make it fun.

After all, it just takes perspective.

I'm in your corner, reach out if you need me. :)
