Teachers -- those we learn from; they are everywhere . . . and always have been.

Consider the people of your life -- in your past and those who are here now.

Try to clear your mind of feelings of attachment and/or aversion and ask yourself, with an openly honest heart: “What has this person taught me? How have they influenced me, enabling me to be the person I am today?"

Be patient with this, allow contemplation . . . perhaps you will experience the clarity through which you see and appreciate them (and yourself) in increasingly -- and profoundly -- empowering new ways.

(Length: 13 minutes)
