I really enjoy this reminder of how to live life fully from Mother Teresa. Its so grounding and yet full of possibilities. Take your time with each pearl of wisdom, and notice the one that touches your heart today 💙

A wise owl who reminds me of Mother Teresa

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
― Mother Teresa

    ‘Life is a duty. Complete it’ stands out to me which is strange because I am only just starting to really feel at one with my calling.

      Great to see you here Jennie! I must admit that duty reminds me of the military and doing things on behalf of others…

        It’s a kind of duty similar to when you have a baby. When they wake up gurgling you pick them up and hold them. When they wake up crying you still pick them up and hold them. When I blog and feel that no-one may be listening I keep blogging. When no-one comes to heal through creativity I keep buying paint! Its a kind of grit, it’s new to me and I quite like it!
