"When a wild elephant is to be tamed and trained, the best way to begin is by yoking it to one that has already been through the process. By contact, the wild one comes to see that the condition it is being led toward is not wholly incompatible with being an elephant. What is expected of it does not contradict its nature categorically, but heralds a condition that, though startlingly different, is viable. The constant, immediate, and contagious example of its yoke fellow can teach it as nothing else can".

In this way through childhood we looked for examples of how to do life well, parents and mentors that did their lives in the way that inspired us. We searched out people who were doing and being how we yearned and desired to be.
Consciously or subconsciously we looked for living examples, who's values supported a way of life that would lead us in integrity and authenticity.
Values that kept our life compass aligned with truthfulness, purpose and the quality of life important to us. Guidance so that individually we discovered rituals to embrace and rituals to erase. Because like the elephant we could learn by being in right association.
As children we knew this.. and now as adults it is just as important to seek out those who will uplift us and assist us to be the best that we can.
Remember the personal honour you feel when personal transformation happens. Aim for more of that! I dream of spiritually growing greater than our emotional world and I wish this for all around the world.
Today I express my gratitude to all who extend our work, the facilitators - through you more international sisters and brothers have the opportunity to learn and grow. Thank you.
I began with a big dream. I knew few people. Now - look at where we are, small in our international world, large in how we are expanding.
Personal Development through educational mentoring is key to ours and your professional success. It is right association.
Owning our story and loving ourself through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do.
I would love to meet you via zoom or messenger to support and guide you in making your life a masterpiece. Connect with me here.
Forever,
Sylvia Marina
