“I truly believe that everything that we do
and everyone that we meet
is put in our path for a purpose.
There are no accidents; we're all teachers."
- Marla
Gibbs
We are all students, too. This arrangement in which everyone gets to be both a student and a teacher in the
school of life is pretty wondrous.
Let's try to glimpse this happening today. We have to pay close attention because life's lessons are often subtle.
Some are offered in positive, joyful
experiences. But many are presented in irritations and challenges.
In fact, the next time you feel an upset, when your defenses are triggered, chances are "school is in session."
If this happens today, welcome the learning with gratitude and grace, with love, compassion, and wisdom, too.
About when we
are teachers: let's be modest about this.
It can happen when we are doing our best and being a role model, as well as when we are struggling.
The takeaway from today's touchstone is to embrace life and wisely be open to learning and loving in every moment of living.
With gratitude,
Charlene
