Tonight I went out to dinner with a good friend of mine. She had gone to visit a former teacher who was, and continues to be, important to me. It has been a long time since I have attended any of his classes, but no matter. What I did learn from him was paradigm shifting and helped me progress along in my personal evolution. Speaking with her about this, I began to remember the depth of his classes. As I continued, I began to remember classes from earlier in my life. Finally, the memories snowballed into a great amount of gratitude. All of my life, no doubt propelled by my hunger and eagerness to learn, I have always drawn to myself the perfect teachers.
I had the opportunity to reflect tonight on my roots as a child on this planet and the journey I have taken to arrive at my life today. I am feeling more alive, more empowered, more joyful, more prosperous, more **everything** right now, in this moment, than ever. However, I did not get here alone.
Every teacher I have ever had has helped form me in some way. Every person I have encountered, even those who have hurt me– especially those who have hurt me, have been my biggest teachers. In being hurt and feeling pain, I’ve learned to be a more compassionate being. Recently I’ve had the experience of enduring a bit of hurt, only to witness myself come out the other end feeling stronger and more empowered. Those people who have loved me despite my quirks and/or perceived flaws have also been my teachers. Those who have extended their love have been a mirror to me, teaching me to love and accept myself more wholly.
In the last few years I have grown closer and closer in my connection to Spirit and with my Spirit Guides. What a joy to know that there is a “Team” with us every day in our lives, guiding us, loving us and being our cheerleaders. Arranging wonderful synchronicity……….those apparent “coincidences” that happen……..everything falls into place………..with their help. 🙂 I am so grateful for my Team of Guides. They so truly rock.
I give thanks to all of my teachers, physical and non-physical. I give thanks for this journey on earth and the joy of this entire experience.
