Growth. Evolution. Change. Boredom. Any one of these can make for a departure of present circumstances, whether they are in the form of concepts, habits, relationships, lifestyle.
There comes a time when those things that were important or helpful to us change. What was once serving us, can become baggage, a habit, or even detrimental to who we have evolved in to. Then it's time to let go and move on.
As a teacher, it's important to remember that the job is to empower those who study to leave the nest. To fly and become teachers in their own right, with their own voice. It's one thing to let go of our practices, but another to let go of relationships of those who we've grown close to. And that's not just a teacher - student thing. That dynamic exists in any relationship where we have truly invested our Selves. It's a beautiful thing. Keep it beautiful and let go when the time is right.
