The Motivatah

Teacher:  A person who teaches in a school. 


Teach:  To cause someone to know something, to cause to know how, to impart the knowledge of, and to instruct by example or experience. 


I wonder why we would limit the definition of a teacher to one who teaches in a school. The latter defines every one of us. We are all teachers. Every day, everything we say and do has an insurmountable impact on the world in which we live. We are teaching those around us, whether we realize it or not. Not only are we teachers for others, but everyone we come in contact with are teachers for us. 
In the school of life, not all teachers will have lessons that we like. Every lesson in life has meaning and importance. When you come across a teacher or lesson that you do not like, the choice is always yours. If you choose to learn and grow from it, your soul will not feel the need to repeat that exact lesson, and will be able to move on. Your entire life is a compilation of the lessons you have already learned from the teachers that have blessed your life. Every one of us has great power; everything we say, do, and think ripples through the Universe, effecting everyone it touches. Take pride and responsibility in the fact that you have the power to change lives; yours as much as those around you.
