Have you ever thought about the people that have been in your life so far?
Some may still be around, while others have either moved on or just no longer in contact
But whatever it is, a part of who you are today is the result of those relationships
There is your family, your closest relation that have been there since the day you were born
Tirelessly and lovingly bringing you up, often wanting the best for you in all circumstances (well, probably more often than not=p)
There are your friends, those that celebrate your joys together and stand by you when all else seem to fail
The perfect companion to just chill out and talk about anything under the sun
And finally, there are also your teachers, mentors and whoever that you are not directly related to but are just willing to share their abundant knowledge and wisdom
Their purpose is to build you up and share their life experiences, the good and the bad, so that you can learn from them
Their hope is to see you grow as a person and they do not ask for anything in return
When I was at a Facilitation forum yesterday, I was surrounded by people who had lived life wayy more than myself and has so much knowledge and life experiences
As they were discussing on ways of transferring their long years of knowledge to others in order to help build the younger people and bring them further, I was reminded of the people that had poured so much into my life
I felt truly grateful and blessed to have crossed path with such amazing people
Be it teachers from school, leaders from church or supervisors from work, I'm pretty sure that I got to learn from the best
These people had willingly spent time and energy in showing their care and also wanting to bring out the best in me
There's just so much that I can thank them for
Whoever said that all human beings are often selfish?
Well, I'm sure that all of us have had those people in our lives at some point
I hope they inspire you to want to be a great teacher to those around
To share what you have so that others may benefit from it...no charges needed=)
