Life doesn’t always feel like an opportunity, but each passing moment is a new minute, a new second, an opportunity to step into something new. Nothing that has been has to stay the same. The surest thing in life is change, and when we realize that, life can open up beyond what we used to believe.

Mother Teresa was an iconic figure who exuded grace and service to others. Today’s post is inspired by some of the wonderful things she said and taught.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier.

Mother Teresa

She taught a lot about living our lives for others being a key to happiness and a life well lived. She was definite proof as she practiced what she taught.

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

Mother Teresa

The world around us can be cruel, and when we realize what true poverty is, that’s when we can help the most.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, i think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Mother Teresa

We have a task at hand all around us – to be kind. Living well requires it. And those that live their lives to help others, they live much fuller lives than those seeking only selfish gain.

Yes, you must live life beautifully and not allow the spirit of the world that makes gods out of power, riches, and pleasure make you forget that you have been created for greater things.

Mother Teresa

Great people are the ones who leave indelible marks on us. Even after they have long since passed, we are encouraged and strengthened in our own walks by the way they lived and the imprint they leave on this world. So, if you’re feeling stuck today, look to people like Mother Teresa who gave of themselves and lived full lives. They always point to being a light in this world and giving to others. Kindness and love can change the world – they will cost us things we thought we needed, but they will be worth it every time. Enjoy this blessed life, skywriters.
