Today's Horoscope

All signs:

The stars want to remind you that everybody learns from someone else. You may be the best at whatever you do, you might be the most amazing in your field, but you had to learn it from someone at some point.

Our whole life there are people we come across that teach us something. It might be something small and seemingly insignificant, or it might be something that sets us on a life course to who we will be.

It starts with your parents, or siblings, or grandparents, your whole extended family, passing their knowledge and morals down to you.

Then you go to school, and while you will encounter some bad teachers, the good teachers will have a huge positive effect on your life. A good teacher can mean so much to your life and who you'll end up being. They can unlock a whole new world for you, and put you on a path to discovering your passion and your life's work. If you had such a teacher, you are lucky.

Then there are bosses and coworkers. Again, there are good and bad ones, but you can learn from either. A good mentor is priceless, and you can glean so much information from them, usually just by the example they set.

Even a bad boss can teach you a lot. They may be lacking in people skills, but they usually are at their position because they are good at it. Sometimes the reason you resent someone is because they possess a quality you are lacking. If that's the case, you can still aspire to copy the good traits while ignoring their shortcomings.

Then there are a million other people you come across that can teach you something if you just pay attention. Little things about life, love, and happiness. Or maybe just fixing a toaster. You can even learn from the horrible people you meet, you can see their failings and learn to avoid those pitfalls.

The point the stars want to make is that you got to be who you are with a lot of help along the way, whether you realize it or not. So you should do the same for others.

Share your knowledge and experience. Don't hoard it or hide it away, and don't be afraid to be proud of what you know and what you've accomplished. Sharing knowledge makes us all stronger and might just change someone's life. So keep that in mind as you go about your day, and take that responsibility seriously.

We are all students and we are all teachers, whether we like it or not, and it's up to us to figure out what kind of each we want to be.
