Excerpt: Chapter 4
We live in a world full of fast-paced
technology, where everything is just a fingertip/touch away. Instead of waiting
for the mail, you can now check your email or a website to find the information
you’re looking for within a minute. Instead of waiting for a taxi, you can Uber
or Lyft, and they’ll be there in less than five minutes. Instead of waiting to
find out the sex of the baby, a mother can now choose to have the sex of her
baby impregnated. We, as a nation, no longer bear patience; instead, we yearn
for the next great thing to come within seconds. With a fast-growing world
wanting to reach and accomplish goals, sometimes we neglect to pause and enjoy
important milestones.
Enjoying each small occurring moment can be
more gratifying than that which leads to a grand finale. The process of waiting
to see how something is going to turn out makes life worth living. In other
words, having the patience to keep doing something without losing interest or
becoming anxious can lead to a life full of enjoyable moments.
I read “Enjoy the Ride” by Steven Gilland in
my many readings of various self-awareness books. The book is a self-reflection
of one’s life that talks about the actual ride or events one will go through
while leading up to their destination. For example, in a school year, there are
typically nine months that make up a calendar year. In those nine months, there
are certain events that a teacher/student/ parent will go through before the
year comes to an end. In that calendar year, there’s the first day of school,
the beginning of the year pre-assessments, fall/winter break, mid-year
assessments, spring break, and the end of the year assessments. During those
big, highlighted moments are the different types of school functions and
activities, extracurricular after-school programs, parental night, family fun
night, science fair, literacy night, etc., which one may encounter. Even though
all these events are expected to happen, as predicted in the school calendar,
going through each event’s process will make each moment memorable. By the time
one has reached the end of the school year, success can be celebrated because
of the endurance, actions, and steps taken to achieve a good ending. The point
here is that there will be events in your life that will be predictable based
on what’s been circulated in the past. Knowing what is expected, you can learn
to “enjoy the ride” by embracing the moments and minutes of each anticipated
event.
In this same book, Gilland also talks about
how success is not a thing you acquire or achieve, but the journey you take
throughout your life makes you successful. I must agree with this statement.
Having success in life is an outcome of how you live it. Your approach and
actions on how you use the given time and moments will make you see life
differently.
When I accepted my calling as a teacher, I
went through a series of events that felt like I was on a roller coaster of ups
and downs of emotions. There were days when I felt excited, and there were days
when I didn’t want to be bothered or do anything. My mom, being the woman of
God that she is, would tell me, “Daughter, know that you will go through storms
in your life. You will be either entering a storm, being in the midst of a
storm, or coming out of a storm”. She would let me know this was a part of
life’s journey, and it was up to me how I wanted to react to the storm that I
was currently in. When I processed what she told me, I knew I had to push
harder to overcome those rainy days and drive towards the goals I once set for
myself. In those moments, I realized I needed to appreciate life’s roller
coaster of emotions and be thankful for the more incredible days to come.
Now that the ride of becoming a teacher was
over, I had surpassed that moment. It was time for me to apply what I had
learned through readings and experiences and now use it to my student’s
learning needs.
