Do you believe you are here to teach others something?

Life is not a random walk. All the people around you including your family members are the mirrors of God sent to teach you something about yourself. You also learn from them. Because we help each other to grow both physically & spiritually. Even the people you meet on the road is not by accident. Good question.

i do believe that every person we meet and have interaction with we can learn something from and/or teach something to.
the person in the drive up window who is having a horrible day because she works a $6.50 hour job and is wondering how she's going to feed her children ... she's short with you. you can either a) be mean back to her or b) show her a smile, tell her thank you for her hard work and tell her to have a nice day. which one do you think SHE will take away as a positive?
we can learn lessons in life every where we look. each person we come in contact with has value ... they are human beings. they have different experiences than we do and we can all teach one another something.

Yes I learn things from people that are I run in to. But I think that I am suposed to pay attention so that I may help others even more. Every person is a new experience and I know a little more on the approaches that I should take with certain individuals. It is all about helping others and gathering experiences. Good question!

I know im here to teach others someting, just pay attention to what people say and do around you. ask a question in your head and just wait a few hours or days. I ussually get a answer unless its something truly complex like the meaning of life... that may take a lifetime or more to figure out.

Most definitely. Sometimes we are the teacher and sometimes we are the student. Sometimes the student becomes the teacher and the teacher becomes the student. The roles become interchangeable if we allow them to be controlled by the Spirit, the Creator, or God. The name doesn't matter, the surrendering control matters. There are no coincidences, only God-incidences. We are All here to help each other, our sisters and brothers. The only qualifier is, that they have to want our help, if not, there are others.
Peace and Love

Yes I do believe that this is true , although sometimes only to remind me how not to treat others , I don't always understand why people are put into my path but I guess there is no need for me to know everything ! Other times I realize what they have to offer and can learn another lesson in life .

We are all taught or teach people something everyday. Even if that wasn't the sole purpose of the meeting.

I do believe it. I learne from every single person I meet something I have not known or seen or done before. Some people's propblem is that they do not know how to deal with every situation in order to extract the most precious lesson for them.

No. I don't believe people are "sent". Though I do believe there is potential to learn something from everyone. Even if it is how not to act.
I wouldn't make a good teacher. ^_^

i don't know that for a fact but i do know that from each other we do learn a lot and i try to listen to others because you can learn things and see views from a different point it is not good to have tunnel vision we should all keep an open mind and search out the truth
