The first quote comes from Mother Teresa, who is now a patron saint of the Catholic Church and a woman who lived during the 20th century.
I'm going to read it again, even though I'll read it at the end of this chapter.
It's a little bit of a thing that makes you turn because there's a little bit of a twist at the end of it.
And why not be mindful enough to think about how you can impress yourself and your good sentiments upon them so that when they leave you, they're a bit more happy.
Did you know you have innate power to bring happiness to those who approach you? Mother Teresa's quote carries a whopping punch because this servant spent decades practicing her messages and having her own metal tested.
The 20th century Catholic nun founded the Missionaries of Charity, an order dedicated to serving the poor and running hospices everywhere.
The former Nobel Peace Prize recipient who lived and served in Calcutta, India, knew a thing or two about happiness.
While Mother Teresa left several notable quotes in her wake, I especially appreciate the one above.
When we realize the power of our intention, we can make great strides in affecting the world around us.
Each day we encounter people, whether through work, errands, or social settings.
What we choose to do with those encounters can make us agents of positive change.
Our gestures, responses, and more can cause others we encounter to feel rejected or welcomed, devalued or appreciated.
Knowing that we can take a few moments to truly listen in to the pain and anguish of others and respond with gentleness and wisdom can change another's darkness to light.
Be mindful, the next person who passes you at the grocery store, mall, or post office may be the very individual who needs your smile.
