I have been having a strange time with students lately. For the last class, I had the one student that I scheduled a strange time for and then cancelled.
Earlier last week, I had another that wanted Reiki 1 and needed it before he shipped out in 30 days. I told him that I could get a class in by then even if I had only one student. I had been asked by another if classes were available. But she was not ready at the that time to take class. I wrote her in case she would be able to take one with this other student. The student that called and I agreed that I would call him by the weekend. When I did, he told me that he had taken class from someone else and that I didn’t need to set up a class.
I wished him well on his path and hung up. I was wondering if he was going to bother to call me. Ok, am I wrong or are people being rude? Setting up a class is not just five minutes on the phone. Usually, when I commit to something, I follow through. I have had people just plain old not show up for class, leaving me hanging. Maybe I should start asking for a deposit. I don’t know.
I know that obviously this is their path, and they will follow it. I also know that this is my path. I guess its just annoying. So I guess I need to get past the annoyance along the side of the path.
