EVERY single person you meet has something valuable to teach you. It's your job to find out what that "something" is. When we figure out what that "something" is, we either retain it, or when we see this "something" no longer serves us, we can divest ourselves of it. In being aware, we can assess our goals, people and "things" in our lives; altering those that are no longer representative of our preferences and reaffirming our dedication to those that are still important and have value to us; which fosters growth in our inner- and outer-world lives.
