Why are we here? What are we supposed to learn from this whole thing? Everything. We're here to learn as much as we can from everyone we can. We're here to love each other and soak up the experiences that others have been through and apply them to our own lives. Without each other, we are nothing.
I don't think we realize how big of a part of ourselves is really parts of those around us. When we share knowledge, or a story we are giving another person a part of us. We're constantly grabbing on to and giving away these fragments of ourselves and we don't even notice the patchwork of experiences and perspectives we are becoming. It's comforting to know that all we are is in some way carried by not only those we love but by everyone that comes into contact with us.
A challenge I've been trying to work on is to accept everyone I come in to contact with as a teacher (directly from Eat Pray Love <3 love me some Julia Roberts) there's so much to learn and to see it's actually unfathomable but that's why we have each other, to grow from and to help grow.
Appreciate the fact that you are making some kind of impact. Accept that you matter and what you do matters. And acknowledge that everything everyone else does MATTERS. And make a conscious effort to learn something from everyone and everything. :)
