My greatest teacher is all around me

At the beginning of this new year I have began to notice something about myself. I noticed that I was unhappy and that slowly I was devouring myself. My hatred, my hurt, my loneliness began to consume me and my heart was becoming wicked. It wasn't until my husband left me that I began to see the woman I had become. I Immediately began to search myself to try and find myself. I wanted to know why I had become the hateful, selfish woman that I now saw.
It was then that I discovered that I was looking at life in entirely the wrong perspective. So I began to dig deeper, and now I think I have found the source for my happiness. One word: Love. I had love with me the whole time and it was because I loved that I had learn to hate. But now I have learned that my happiness comes from fulfilling my passions, and my passions are making other people smile. The happiness of other people, digging for a deeper understanding of people, learning why we all do what we do has opened my eyes. I made so many wonderful friends on the internet just for being myself and letting my beauty shine. I love people and I love life.
What is most remarkable is that life's teachers are all around us. The true teachers are ourselves and our inner most thoughts. We are all artist in all forms of the word art. Artist give secret heartfelt messages that only a person who thinks will ever pick up on. There are deep messages everywhere and some people fail to realize it. Being an artist myself, I greatly appreciate the power of words and of pictures. The world is my teacher and my greatest mentors are everywhere. Yes, I believe that my purpose in life lies solely on understanding, and unless I understand things, then I don't have a purpose. This is who I am and how I feel. That is all.
