Daily Question, October 1

What am I able to teach others?

  • Susan

    That it is important to trust your intuition. This is what I hope to teach my daughter and grand-daughter. Use your intuition.

  • Hot Sauce

    I can teach others about my knowledge of the environment, why environmentalism is important, and methods we can use to be more sustainable; how to look for patterns in their lives to discern their dharma; how to be grateful for everything in life, especially in the practice of mindful eating; how to have control over situations without over-exerting one's effort or making matters worse; the historical meaning and context of the Torah, Gospel, and Qur'an; what they won't teach you about paranorma...

    I can teach others about my knowledge of the environment, why environmentalism is important, and methods we can use to be more sustainable; how to look for patterns in their lives to discern their dharma; how to be grateful for everything in life, especially in the practice of mindful eating; how to have control over situations without over-exerting one’s effort or making matters worse; the historical meaning and context of the Torah, Gospel, and Qur’an; what they won’t teach you about paranormal experiences, particularly those involving UFOs and extraterrestrials, in school; and about the world’s religions, including many of the less well-known ones.

    That life is ongoing learning.

  • kathleen

    In the classroom of life I am able to teach others by example. On another level I am their teacher if they learn something by their interaction with me.

  • Trevor

    I am not able to teach others anything as I am not a Master. I would be ashamed to assert my ego so far as to try and teach (surely I have made this folly in the past) when I have not achieved utterly complete and irreversible self-mastery.

    Such is my path.

  • Antoinette

    Being that I am a teacher I have certain qualifications which enable me to work as a teacher teaching various subjects.
    I feel grateful for having chosen to be a teacher because it allows me to be around teenagers and to serve in a way that is very rewarding. Having said that, teaching can be a super exhausting job as well!
    Maybe all jobs are?
    I have also been fortunate enough to be yoga instructor and now mindfulness meditation awareness training has been proven to help me go deeper. Curr...

    Being that I am a teacher I have certain qualifications which enable me to work as a teacher teaching various subjects.
    I feel grateful for having chosen to be a teacher because it allows me to be around teenagers and to serve in a way that is very rewarding. Having said that, teaching can be a super exhausting job as well!
    Maybe all jobs are?
    I have also been fortunate enough to be yoga instructor and now mindfulness meditation awareness training has been proven to help me go deeper. Currently, I’m volunteering at a “meeting place” for people who are drug and or alcohol users.
    I have been doing meditation with those who are interested and it’s very nice to see that some people are feeling good because of the practice.
    I really enjoy serving people and if I can share my meditation practice with others I’m happy to do it!
    My goal is to be able to open a outreach program to serve people by organizating “meditation groups” for various types of groups.
    I have started the groundwork for this, but it’s not up and going yet. The next step is finding funding.
    Finally, I think that everyone is my teacher and everyone I meet has something different to teach. It’s my job to be open and grateful for what ever opportunities they being.

    teach by living fully, the life I have been given is a lesson in being my true self…
    knowing, caring and expressing myself are the ways I bring my lessons to the world……
    yesterday at a volunteer event I was having fun , enjoying the company of others and being present to the day…….
    when I got home I was exhausted, ( I am a volunteer but also helped plan and run the event ), and that was my day…..
    smiling, dancing, enjoying being with others….

  • Michael

    Live the questions and don’t worry about finding answers. Enjoy, love, be and take the pain for what it is. Practice equanimity.

  • Michael

    That when I share (teach), I actually receive so much knowledge in return. Teaching n learning are reciprocal. The themes are acknowledging oppressive systems but, not using them as excuses. Building strength n strategies in regards to mental, emotional, physical, and knowledge fitness

  • Sheila

    I feel I am able to teach others ( most especially my family) that I am human, vulnerable and make mistakes, but I can also say “I am sorry”, learn and grow from my mistakes. I recently wrote a letter to my 3 siblings saying that anytime I have said or done hurtful things, it was my own inner pain being projected out to others. I thanked them for helping me to be the person I am today. Blessings to all.

  • Kevin

    This simple little question is interesting. I seldom, if ever, think in terms of what I might be able to teach others. I think in terms of what it is about myself, or what I possess, that I can share or give to others. And while I have lived my whole life working with people, running programs and leading others in various projects, I never considered myself a teacher, either. I share what I know, what I have seen and what I have experienced. But that’s not teaching. It’s different.

    I have enormous respect for people who do teach and who teach well. I admire their focus and passion for their subject and being invested in imparting their knowledge onto whomever is listening and wanting to learn.

    Who am I that I am able to teach others? thats the question which I am holding throughout the day.
    My frist resonance is that I am hesitating to teach – preferably I would rather relate to others, than to teach – knowing that teaching is one of many manifestations to relate to others. Go on for the day.

  • Malag

    I can probably teach anything in my life experience to a willing pupil. Am having that challenge at present with someone close whose life is a bit chaotic at present. I can teach what can help but only she can open her ears.

    • Sieger des Friedens

      Listening to your words, Malag, it creates that humbleness within me, …. yes it is a matter of fact…. others can decide to open their ears or not. I am aksing mySELF, whether I am clear enough, centred, powerful,….. to relate to the one, whom I may teach…
