Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is an adventure, dare it
In her seventies (Mother Teresa) wrote her own resume of her philosophy of life:
Life is an opportunity, avail it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is costly, care for it.
Life is a wealth, keep it.
Life is love, enjoy it.
Love is a mystery, know it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, brace it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is life, save it!
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.words of Mother Teresa

I need daily reminders on those tough days when it seems easier to withdraw and leave the rat races behind. Perfect for a Friday and the weekend looming ahead – thank you!

This is a beautiful passage. If the Mother Teresa Center sold posters with these words, I’d get one and share the link, too.
