Kindness: Such a warm trait that stems from that of a sincere soul filled with compassion.

Kindness is true power.

It is the power to love, the power to live, the power to be genuine.

It is a gift, a light, a pathway.

Mother Teresa often said, "If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway."

Through her words, she speaks volumes.

Recently declared, she is perceived as the perfect prototype of how we should pursue our daily lives, serving for the betterment of others as well as ourselves. Though a prominent figure in Catholicism, she is a compelling inspiration to all—to all who have the courage to embrace her teachings wholeheartedly.

With the great timing of the New Year, challenge yourself to live in the reflection of her works.

“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.”

"Spread love everywhere you go."

"Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are."

"There is no key to happiness; the door is always open."

"Do small things with great love."

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

"The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway."

"If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive."

"People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway."

"We have been created in order to love and to be loved."

"No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work."

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

Be true, stay humble, and offer all the love you can each and every day.

To your family, to strangers, even to those who have hurt you.

You will always come out ahead through your own goodness.

The world is full of good people—if you can't find one, be one.

Be one today and be one every day.

Through your actions, through your words, through your heart.

Now is the perfect chance.
