Day 11: Everyone You Meet Is Here to Teach You

Good Morning and Happy Saturday, ZAO Community!

What Can You Learn Today?

Today’s inspiration from Richard Carlson’s Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff offers a simple but profound shift in mindset:

Imagine everyone you meet is enlightened—except you. Each interaction is an opportunity to learn patience, compassion, or understanding.

  • The slow-moving clerk? A lesson in patience.

  • The challenging conversation? A call to release judgment.

By asking, “What are they trying to teach me?” instead of “Why are they doing this?” you’ll find more peace and growth in your daily experiences.


Take the Challenge

Look for these lessons throughout your day. Reflect and share your insights in the comments—we’d love to hear what you learn.
