The Prayer of St. Teresa

Thanks,Lizzy! ;)

The Prayer of St. Teresa

May today there be peace within.

May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinity possibilities that are born of FAITH.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass
on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of you.

Stay Strong

Master your own self....

"We all go through life bristling at our external limitations, but the most difficult chains to break are inside us."
- Bradley Whitford

One's purpose in life....to be of benefit to others!

"If one sees that the purpose of one's life is to be of benefit to others, and from the depths of one's heart there is a real sense of dedication of one's entire life for the benefit of other sentient beings, and that kind of strong courage and principle – for that kind of person, then time doesn't seem to matter much.

Whether or not that person becomes enlightened, as far as he or she is concerned, it doesn't make any difference, because the purpose of existence is to be of benefit to others, and if the person is able to be of service to others, then that person is really able to fulfill his or her true purpose.

Such is the kind of courage and determination to altruistic principles that bodhisattvas should adopt."

—The Dalai Lama in a talk at UCLA in 1997 in reference to a passage in Nagarjuna's Precious Garland that deals with feeling discouraged over the length of time required to become "enlightened.
