Do you have the gift of teaching?

Perhaps you're thinking, I really would like to teach. I really would like to share my knowledge with the world, help change people's lives. But I'm not sure if I'm qualified to do that. Well, let me ask you a couple questions and we'll see. When you were younger, did you have this ability or this sense when you'd walk into a room, you could see and feel emotions and things going on that other people couldn't see or were clueless to? Have you ever had answers to people's questions when you overheard their questions, but you didn't want to barge in? Did you ever think that maybe you think too much? Okay, good. So if you said yes to all that, I'm going to tell you that those things that you considered to be a curse back then, and maybe you felt really weird in those environments, I'm going to tell you those are your gift. Those are the gifts of a great teacher, leader and facilitator. The awareness and the mindfulness. To see what other people don't see, to ask questions other people aren't asking, to think where other people aren't thinking at all, and to have that ability to change.
