Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it - Mahatma Gandhi

Whatever you do may seem insignificant: There’s no such thing as a small job. We must do this because how we do it sometimes matters more than just the what. If you look at it from an external perspective, we can argue that all jobs are menial. It is only when we compare what we do to someone else, that the question of worth comes into play. Each job or work has its significance, value and importance in its own right. The world cannot function without each of us playing our roles.

Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle: This is such a simple thing but we keep making this mistake over and over. Comparison is one of the biggest challenges in our generation, only because it is so hard not to compare. Our social media constantly bombards us with information about someone else leading a better life and immediately we start questioning why we don’t have it. Jealousy is one thing – it tells us what we want. But this causes envy, leaving us with a pang of paying to say that our life is not good enough.

Time isn’t the main thing, it’s the only thing - Miles Davis

Time isn’t the main thing: Today’s inspiration is from a time management quote from Miles Davis. Not only is time the most evenly spread out resource in the world, but it is also the most scarce. In this article, we talk about the challenges of the paucity of time to ensure that we have enough opportunities for the most important things.

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples - Mother Teresa

This quote talks to me about the simplicity and power of good thoughts and actions. One person may not be too big to make all the difference in the world. But one person can create a ripple effect by doing something that the rest of the world joins in. The beauty of this quote is not just in the humility Mother Teresa reflects in the quote. It is also about the belief in others and resonance that can create a ripple effect to cast a wide enough change for the world to revel in.

Some people come in our life as blessings and some as lessons

Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons - Mother Teresa

I love this beautiful quote by Mother Teresa talking about the type of people we encounter in life. We were never promised a rosy life with the best people in the world. The law of averages tells us that you’ll meet a few awful people in life. However, going by the same law, you’ll also meet some incredible people who’ll make you feel that life is a beautiful journey. The point in the quote is – we all have blessings and lessons in life. But neither is wasteful. People come into our lives for various reasons. it feels like there’s a mystical element of unknown to it. But they come into our life, it is up to us to decide how close we let them be. This depends on our outlook and confidence in the initial perception we will have about them.
