To kick off the new year, I thought this article would be helpful to many. Mother Theresa has, and will always be someone I admire. From her generosity and courage, to the way she defended the faith, we can only hope to resemble her ways in our life. I found 10 quotes from her that I feel everyone should live by in their daily lives. Enjoy!
1. “Let us always meet each other with a smile, for a smile is the beginning of love.”
A smile is just the beginning, but can do so much for people. So, smile at everyone. Yes, even the unhappy people.
2. “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
You are so much stronger than you think. Trust yourself.
3. “Spread love everywhere you go; let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”
If we spread love instead of hate, imagine what our world could be like.
4. “The miracle is not that we do this work; but that we are happy to do it.”
Our attitude changes everything. If we think of things in a positive manner instead of negative, we might actually have fun doing them.
5. “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is one drop in an ocean. But, the ocean would be less because of that drop.”
Our contributions help too. Always be willing to lend a hand, you never know how much it might help!
6. “We can not do great things. Only small things with great love.”
Do things with love, it will change you; but it will also change those around you. I promise.
7. ‘If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
We all need this reminder. We are all connected at heart. So, we need to treat each other with this same outlook. Be nice, its contagious.
8. “In the end it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.”
This is absolutely my favorite quote. Why are we worrying about how other treat us, when in the end it was never even about them in the first place? Be you, but also never be afraid to help anyone out!
9. “ If you judge people, you have no time to love them”
So true. We spend most of our time judging other people, and then have no time to see the positives they have to offer! Try in your life to not go into anything judging people, but rather having a open mind.
10. “Yesterday has gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”
We have today! We cannot focus on the yesterdays, but we can change what we do during this day and the ones to come! So get out there and change the world.
Hope this inspires you to live a healthy, happy, and loving 2017!
