5 Of Mother Teresa's Most Impactful Quotes

Service allows each individual to prove what type of person he or she has become based on his or her intentions. Mother Teresa gained fame through her own doings and her hunger and thirst for righteousness and peace, on earth. She spreads peace to one another. Mother Teresa strived for the goodness of other humans. Through the following quotes each of us can gain the wisdom and courage to be better individuals, and follow Mother Teresa’s example.

1. Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

One small step at a time we can make a difference.

2. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

Make an impact on everyone’s life.

3. Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly.

Be patient. Everything will happen the way things are supposed to. Everything will fall into place. Do not stress about tomorrow while today is still occurring.

Which leads me to the next quote..

4. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

The small cracks we step over are just as grand as the major obstacle of the year. Because with each obstacle we overcome, our true strength glistens making an impression on those around us.

My favorite quote from mother Teresa that truly makes a difference in my daily life is "ANYWAY".

5. “People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway.”

Mother Teresa truly shows the person God made her by spreading the goodness to those around her and making prayerful service go worldwide. One should use Mother Teresa as an everyday example. She left a legend behind her through her work. Mother Teresa’s work showed her compassion and love to the human kind and has been recognized throughout the works receiving a number of awards including Noble Peace Prize of 1971 for her promotion of international peace and understanding. I personally cherish her words and service because not only does she make an impact on the world but she reminds us that not everyday is going to be perfect but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be the best we can be. The start of making a difference is by working at home. By this, I mean through loving and cherishing family. Family will always remain strong if they stick together and work for the greater good of building each other up and reminded one another that no matter what we have each other. Perhaps we are stronger than we think.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
