Mother Teresa's poem Forgive Them Anyway

What truly matters in life is how you treat the people and environment around you. It does not matter if the people around you aren’t nice, or honest. What matters is that you are doing what you know is right. People are going to take advantage of you, lie to you, be mean, and so much more. But always be the bigger person. Always forgive and be kind, because one day it will pay off.

3 Boring Habits of Successful People

You have to continue to question things to make sure they still have value to you and aren’t useless.

What or Who made the World? And the swans and the bears? What about the grasshopper? The one that flung herself out the grass and is eating out my hand. The one that instead of moving her jaws up and down, is moving them back and forth. She’s gazing around with her big eyes. She lifts her forearms and carefully washes her face. She opens her wings and flies away. I may not know what a prayer is exactly, but I know how to pay attention and fall to my knees into the grass. I know how to be blessed and have a purpose, how to walk through the fields, which happens to be what I have done all day. But please tell me, what else am I to do? Doesn’t everything die and dies too soon? So now tell me, what do you plan to do with your one precious and wild life you have been given?
