Being a student means staying open — to feedback, to change, to the lessons unfolding in real time. Being a teacher means applying what you’ve learned with intention and integrity.
You don’t have to master life before you’re allowed to lead yourself. Growth happens in the practice of learning and living simultaneously.
When you honor both roles, curiosity replaces self-judgment, and experience becomes wisdom you can trust.
You are allowed to learn as you go — and to guide yourself forward with what you already know.
