Quotes of the Day

"Bloom where you are planted"

I read this quote today that was enveloped in the most courageous and inspiring tale of a person's survival story.

All of us are survivors. Everyone has a story. There are circumstances that have brought every person exactly to the spot they are at in their lives.

The difference is how we react to what happens to us. When a person finds themselves in a situation that isn't of their choosing, they can look around and see what they can make of where they have ended up.

Making lemons out of lemonade ... or "blooming where you are planted." There is always something good to salvage out of almost anything.

"It is not how much you do but how much love you put into the doing that matters"
- Mother Teresa

This is the second quote that was in the same article that I read. More words that resonated with me after I closed the book.

There is always an endless amount of work that can be done. A person can set lofty goals and strive to achieve them.

But truly, it is more important to prioritize what is important in life. Focusing on what brings you the greatest joy ... "how much love you put into the doing" is what will reap the greatest rewards.
