Life is our greatest teacher: Would you agree?

The people and situations we encounter every day have much to teach us when we are open to receiving their wisdom. Often we don't recognize our teachers because they may not look the part,yet they may embody great wisdom. In addition, some people teach us by showing us what we don't want to do or be. All the situations in our lives, from the insignificant to the major, conspire to teach us exactly what we need to be learning at any given time. Patience, compassion, perseverance, honesty, letting go,all these are covered in the classroom of of life. We can help ourselves to remember this perfect teacher each day with a few simple words. Each morning we might find a moment to say something like this: "I acknowledge and honor the teacher that is my life. May I be wise enough to recognize the teachers and lessons that I encounter today, and may I be open to receiving their wisdom." We might also take some time each day to consider what our lives are trying to teach us at this time. A difficult phase in your relationship with your child may be teaching you to let go. The homeless person you see every day may be showing you the boundaries of your compassion and generosity. A flood of lost items may be asking you to be more present to physical reality. Trust your intuition on the nature of the lesson at hand, work at your own pace, and ask as many questions as you want. Our life has all the answers if we will but accept it. Do you agree?
