It is the operating premise of the Great Teachers Seminar that we don't need to call on experts to find the great teacher in each of us because we can tap our own resources. Experienced faculty are one of this system's untapped assets. In "Simple Abundance," Sarah Breathnacht writes "Authentic success is feeling focused and serene when you work, not fragmented. It's knowing that you've done the best that you can possibly can, no matter what circumstances you faced: it's knowing in your soul that the best you can do is ALL you can do and that the best you can do is always enough."
