WEDNESDAY WOW WOMAN: MOTHER TERESA

Hi Guys,

I have always loved and greatly admired the grit, determination, and voracious spirit of Mother Teresa. Maybe it’s because she had a lot in common with my own Mother! They both were named Teresa, and both were hardworking and compassionate Virgos. Virgos are known as the ‘Good Samaritans of the Zodiac’ and with good reason too. They like to feel useful, are pragmatic, and busy themselves doing good, either for their family, animals, their work, their community, or as in the case of Mother Teresa, the poverty stricken and homeless souls. As with all Saints, they leave their own needs for last, and beat themselves up the most!

What I loved about Mother Teresa is that she was a mix of hard-nosed businesswoman and soft- hearted humanitarian. She could have run any company and whipped them all into shape! Good on her! She would meet with big businessmen and try and cut a good deal for the poor and then go out and actually feed the people. No sooner said than done — so acts your woman of worth!

I would like to leave your today with one of my very favourite Mother Teresa poems. Every time I read it, it erases all irritations! Whenever I feel the need to be a Saint in my own life, I read it over and over again!

“People are often unreasonable and self centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”                     

Hugs,

Patricia xxx
