You think your instructors can’t see behind your BS, your excuses, your mask… but the truth is they can see right into your soul.
It’s just polite for the instructor to not reveal what they see, so they smile patiently as they listen to the excuses, the distractions and only help or reveal what they see when appropriate.
It’s up to the student to tread the path, to put in the time and effort, to sort out their life and emotions, an instructor has to wait until the time is right to put in their bit.
But don’t think for a second that they don’t see what’s screaming out from your soul.
