I too had a similar resistance to teaching - despite coming around to it now. I wanted to DO something with my life, not just TEACH others to DO. Aspiring to teach, felt like aspiring to live through someone else. But as I get a little older I realise what joy it is to help others on their path and to share what I have learned from my own wrestling with life.
