Learn From Everyone and Everything

Everyone knows something! God put us each on this great planet to interact with our surroundings and affect and be affected. Even within bad experiences there are lessons to learn. Sometimes we learn what not to do or how not to act or react! These can be the most powerful lessons and the hardest to swallow! Be careful what you ask God to teach you. He will send you very difficult lessons to teach you what you want to learn, and if you don't learn it the first time you may have to experience the lesson over and over until you get it! So learn from every experience so that you don't need to go through it again! Sometimes what we learn is so subtle we don't realize we learned it until we see it again and have an 'aha' moment. Sometimes we are the teachers and have no idea we are even on the syllabus.
Be willing to try new things! Expand your horizons. Allow others to experience the moments with you, you never know who the lesson is for or what your reward might be! Instead of running around trying to figure out what the meaning of life is... accept that the journey is the thing!
I believe we get points for learning and for sharing and teaching! Set up your own point system. Get the most points! Have fun! Learn from everyone and everything. Be Thankful for the opportunities to grow and to help others do the same :). Learn from someone else's mistakes as often as possible. It is easy to see both the good and the bad when you aren't in the middle of it all.
Most importantly, don't forget to apply the lessons! :)
