The People Around Us and What They Can Teach Us
© 2013 GypsyJaguar
People like to talk. And when they talk, they often focus on stories. Some people like to discuss ideas and concepts, while others prefer to socialize about things they've seen and places they've been. But, most people enjoy chatting about themselves and other people.
When a person enters your life, pay attention to what type of stories they like to share to figure out what social personality-type they most fit into. This will help you to recognize what lessons they are bringing into your life. Sometimes they may be someone we don't exactly click with, or see eye-to-eye with. Those are the individuals who will challenge our view of the world around us, eventually teaching us some very valuable lessons.
Those who focus on ideas and concepts are learning about mental aspects of life... thinking, figuring, analyzing. These people ask a lot of questions, are very curious, and are generally profound thinkers. They may spend a lot of time to themselves, pondering thoughts, ideas, and possibilities. You will ordinarily find these people sitting alone, observing or "in another world," thinking. This group of people are made up of only a small percentage of the population. The great thinkers of our world are usually the wisest, yet most misunderstood. They are our philosophers, scientists, inventors, and spiritual leaders. People who generally discuss ideas, thoughts, and concepts can usually teach us about our own ways of thinking and challenge us to look at things, people, or experiences with a completely new perspective.

Individuals who enjoy sharing stories about where they or others have been or what they've seen are learning about physical aspects of life... doing, seeing, experiencing. You will most likely find these people having fun, telling tall tales of their adventures at parties, or traveling the world. This group of people may consist of less than half of any group of people. The jet-setters and take-charge doers of our world generally have the most energy and are envied by their peers for their lack of fear, fun lifestyle and exorbitant worldly knowledge. They are our adventurers, explorers, entrepreneurs and celebrities. Those who enjoy conversing about places they've been, sights they've seen, and experiences they've had can often teach us about the vast differences of the world around us, challenging us to do more, see more, and experience life to the fullest.

The majority of people in any group will be made up of those who like to talk about themselves and other people. These people are learning about emotions, social etiquette, issues and morals. The bulk of the conversations focus on what they or someone else did or said. And the entire purpose of discussion is figuring out what others think and feel about it; whether they think it was "right" or "wrong." The ultimate goal is to decide which side they want to choose to be on.
Those who commonly express their thoughts about themselves and other people will teach us some profound lessons about who we are, the stands we have on issues, and our personal limitations, thereby challenging us to find our true selves, express ourselves more genuinely, learn about balancing our emotions through self-control, and how to diplomatically enforce our personal boundaries.

The basis of lessons in any social circle is learning about balance. Balance of the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional selves. This balance is achieved by recognizing that there is no definitive right or wrong or white and black. There will always be grey areas, exceptions to rules, and happy mediums.
Our social circles may change several times in our lifetimes, as we attract new experiences and lessons we need to evolve emotionally, physically, mentally, and ultimately; spiritually. New social contacts will show up at times we need a fresh perspective or change in our lives. Often, these contacts will end up fading out of our lives after the lessons are learned. Some may stick around for a while. possibly even for several years. Others may just be around us for a few days, weeks, or months. It all depends on the role they end up playing in our lives at the time. |
Each person we meet along our path in life is there for a reason. We may not know the reason until years later, or it may be quite apparent from the beginning. Either way, each of them have an impact on our lives, no matter how small, large, brief, or long-lasting.
