"Are You The Teacher Or The Student"

Truth: Living the purpose is far greater than just living……
Here’s the truth…..
Everything happens for a reason. Whether we accept, embrace, receive or believe it, where we are right now at this very moment is where we’re supposed to be. You are not at this place in life by mistake; your exact location, circumstance, or life experience is part of a plan larger than you can ever imagine. Every trial, triumph, connection and encounter was divinely orchestrated by God. The question is, are you serving your purpose? Is the plan for you to be the teacher or the student? Are you living in the now, stuck in the past, or daydreaming about the future? Every experience in life is for a reason, whether it’s for you to learn today in order to be a teacher tomorrow, it’s planned. Then there are those experiences we’re supposed to be the teacher, it’s our plan to pass on the knowledge gained through our experiences to those we come in contact with. Many times we miss it… We can’t see our purpose in our current situation because we’re blind by our lacks, and sometimes our abundance of what we have. We miss out on the reason and find ourselves trapped in situations far longer than we should. The benefit of accepting where we are “now” is that we see the lessons to either be learned or taught. We notice others and how we can learn from them or impact their lives. We see our circumstances for what they are, a lesson to learn. We embrace the fact that “today” is all we have yesterday is a memory and tomorrow is a dream. The truth is… nothing is by mistake. Every connection and encounter is a part of the plan for our lives. Whether we’re supposed to be the teacher or the student, we’re here at this place, at this time, in this season of life for a reason. Maybe you’re in what appears to be a bad space right now; we encourage you to learn all you can from this experience so you can be a teacher later in life to those who are going through it. Or maybe you’re in a place where you’re over qualified, then teach what you know so your legacy will live longer than your physical body on earth. Living the purpose is far greater than just living…… Are you the teacher or the student????
