We have many teachers as
we go through life. Our parents were our first teachers and then we had numerous teachers through our basic schooling. Then some of us experienced more teachers as we traveled through several years of college. We also learned from many people as we worked at our chosen vocations and pursued our recreational interests and hobbies. Think about some things you have learned and who the teachers were. What stayed with you the most? Is it the things you learned from someone just talking, or the things you learned from someone who lived what they taught? And I am not just taking about learning physical skills but more importantly, learning about who you are and how to live your dreams. Where did your values come from? Where did your relationship tools come from? Who were or are your role models? Who inspired you? The examples we set for others are the highest form of teaching. The examples we take from others are the highest form of learning. Hopefully, these examples are positive, loving and courageous. Seek out only those who have the lasting values that you want in your life. Avoid those who are ego filled and wrapped up in just hearing their own voice. Look to those who inspire by who they are and the life they lead. A much overused phrase but one that fits is, "Do they walk the talk?" Follow those who do more than just teach. Follow those who live the teachings.
