Discovering YTTC

Today, 26th March 2012, marks the first day of the YTTC aka Yoga Teacher Training Course.

I had a stable job for 6.5 years and the core principle of my job was to provide people a job security with a high pay and higher title. I screen through career gaps and drill them like a criminal. From management ability, to influencing skill-set, to what their husband think of their job, to what they want to see themselves in 5 years' period.

I asked myself the last questions very often - what do I see myself in...6months' period? It was mind bogging and depressing every time I find the answer against the normal path I believe in. Have a stable job, work very hard, earn money so that there is a future for family, etc. etc.

Then it came one final trigger point where, I finally took a leap of faith and sign up on this course. Now, a question - have you ever have been thinking about something that you have been thinking about it for over a year, (yes, it might be the leather bag you have been eyeing for), done your maths, spoke with the other half, love it and just lack the guts to do it? It might be a traveling plan; or, a further education. Whatever it is, I encourage you to logically think through this process and make a logical decision, rather than basing on emotions because honestly, there is no rooms for regret later on.

No regrets because, you gotta know, life don't just ends here if it don't turn out the way you wanted it to be. What if, I don't make a good teacher? What if, I don't like to teach people? What if, no one wants to engage me as their teacher and thus, I don't earn anything? There are alot of What Ifs... but EY always pointed it out rightly that let's leave the imagination of What Ifs and act on the What's now.

What are the options now? What are the resources now? Can I take plan B with this amount of resources left? Can I continue with Plan A even if there is a Plan B?

I'm happy that I made this decision. 7 weeks of my life on yoga.  My goal is to enjoy the journey of learning and gain enormous amount of knowledge to at least benefit myself from it. It always start with self before sharing. That is always my principle of leadership - you need to lead yourself before leading other people.
