What We Can Learn

When it comes to those who are in our lives whether family or friends or people we run into there is a reason not only for our purposes but for theirs as well.  

Not only are we supposed to use our purposes to encourage them they are here to encourage us as well.  Our children whether young in age or older we need to teach them about their purposes. For the young ones to discover their purposes and what their gifts and talents are as a lifestyle while the older ones encourage in their gifts and talents.

When it comes to others for us to listen to them where we can give and receive. We should not be looking at just living a life of purpose for ourselves but to learn and receive from others as well. Whether they know it or not we can learn from them in the same way we can give without them possibly not understanding our purpose.

I believe that not only can we mentor those who have asked of help from us we can do so with those who don’t. What I am saying may sound strange or different but people can learn from us as much as we can learn from them. Listening is a very good tool along with speaking. I realize in the past I mostly talked about myself and now I want to hear about others in their speaking. We will learn more about them by asking questions. It doesn’t mean that we can’t talk about ourselves but to have them talk about themselves. We can learn about the similarities and differences with them. We can reply back with the similarities by saying I have done the same thing while with the differences we can say I would like to know more about it. This is really important with those who don’t talk often and are not open to sharing how they feel. We likely will open ourselves to a new world that we have never seen before. It is something to think about anyway. The more we learn the better person we become in the eyes of others.
