Over the last several years I have been searching for a way to articulate my own philosophy of life. I’ve been able to explain it to myself fairly often, but I also often struggle to explain it to my children and grandchildren. My wonderful mother once told me that I don’t have to explain it; I just have to set the right example. For years I’ve taken the easy way out and have tried to just that. However, by profession I’m a teacher and trainer. Teachers and trainers also have to be able to describe actions and processes so students can do the same. I guess it’s time for me to get off my ass and do just that.
