This quote fell into my lap yesterday. So often I look for quotes
& inspirations for the blog; but, this one was just a perfect gift
yesterday.
So often we hear and say…”but that’s just not fair” and perhaps at
that very moment in time a happenstance is not fair. Is the justice you look
for only for yourself? Is there a lesson for a greater good at work in that
happenstance? Is the lesson of that moment to be patient, kind, empathetic to
the other party?
Or is the lesson for the moment the phrase…”One more time!”
If patterns in life do repeat themselves, and I believe they do,
until we learn from them, then the word that comes to mind is EFFORT!!! Are you
putting EFFORT into your life or are you a floater? Are you just floating…going
with the flow…or watching the world float by completely unattached from your
surroundings? Then the answer for you is simply EFFORT! Do something, do anything, but
don’t just stand there!!! My words are more direct that the poetic
words of Mother Teresa’s, but they are urging you to reexamine each and every
moment of your life as it interacts with you. Why wait for your ship to come in
when you can make it happen. Be your own catalyst. Make a change. Be the
change. As Gandhi said “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.
Maybe as you persist in the higher road suggested by Mother
Teresa, if no other lesson is learned from you by others, it will be that you
gave it…life…your best EFFORT! EFFORT, with high esteem for the life that we
live, will surely reap its rewards….for surely NO EFFORT will not have the same
results.
EFFORT, passion for one’s beliefs, tenacity and sometimes bravery
are all in the biographies of saints, great spokesmen and activists of this
world. These courageous people fought for the greater good of humanity through
their community. They did not sit by in idle fashion.
The highest conviction of all, first and foremost, would be LOVE.
LOVE has always been the greatest catalyst of all. It allows one to look within
to find the strength and direction to proceed outward into the world. I believe
Mother Teresa’s life and legacy are the proof of her EFFORT.
Find your LOVE. Apply your EFFORT. Strength will follow in its
wake.
