Words of Inspiration by Mother Teresa


It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.


The Law of Giving (“The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” by Deepak Chopra)

The Universe operates through dynamic exchange…giving and receiving are different aspects of the follow of energy in the universe.

And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.


Applying the Law of Giving

1.  Wherever I go, and whoever I encounter, I will bring them a gift.  The gift may be a compliment, a flower, or a prayer…

2.   Today, I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me.  I will receive the gifts of nature:  sunlight and the sound of birds singing, or spring showers or the first snow of winter…

3.   I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving life’s most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love…


"Words of Inspiration" by Booker T. Washington

A sure way for one to lift himself up is by helping to lift someone else.

May I Have Your Answer by Tyrea Covington

Tell me what should I do?

When I feel alone and I have no one talk to

Do I say, I give up and I don't care?

Or do I jusr hang in there.



People say I'm a strong girl and I can handle anything

But, I just don't see or feel the strength and power within me.



I close my eyese and I think about what I've been through

I say man, what did God put me into

As I continue to see people struggle more and more

My feet are just walking closer and closer to the door.



Just tell me have you ever been through this problem before

Or have your ears heard enough, you just ready to step forth

Well, I guess I have to sit in misery until someone gets back to me.
