We are what we do

"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." Mother Teresa



I am no Mother Teresa. I do bad things, sometimes hurt the ones a love and often forget to say thank you for just being alive and healthy. I use bad words, lie, cheat and can be quite selfish. I am obviously no Mother Teresa, although i'm sure even she has done some bad things too.


We are what we do means that with every wrong action we prove to ourselves that we are bad, and with every good deed we feel better because we couldn't be that bad after all. What will people remember you for when you are passed on? Will it be all that time you spent helping out charities or the man who always knocked on your door for food? Will it be for the smile you always had on your face when greeting a stranger or the way you nurtured and cared for children in the community?


I am a strong 21 year old woman raised by a strong single mother. There is no reason why i can't do more for others than what i'm doing right now. If we are what we do, then i really want to do more to help others. I believe that each person was put on this earth to be extraordinary and now is the perfect time for me to start my journey of giving unselfishly


The perfect way to give, is to give love. I will try each day to take out all the bad and try to be a much better person. This will make life so much more sweeter for me and all those around me.
