Mother Teresa was a saint who lived in our midst. She was not an ordinary woman but had an extraordinary advice for ordinary people like you and me to become extraordinary people in our own right.
Here, I quote some of her words. See which of it appeals to you:
"We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.
"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
"Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
"Celebrate life and it will celebrate you!"
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
"God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try."
"There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread."
"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
Mother's life was an open book and if we can draw inspiration from her great work among the poorest of the poor of Kolkata as well as her sayings, we may be able to usher in a little divinity into our mundane lives as well.
