The people who trouble me most are my wisest and most generous teachers.


Everyone is my teacher, introducing me to me. 

The people who annoy or trouble me the most are my wisest and most generous teachers: they’re showing me where I am really stuck. They show me all the patterns of thought and belief through which I hurt myself and they will never stop annoying and troubling me until I clear up what I’m thinking and believing and I stop hurting myself. 

They will never give up leading me to peace

All I need to do is be awake to their generosity and the gift is there for me.
