As a journalist, writer, and motivational speaker, I've discovered that inspirational stories and people lead back to the same basic tenants, regardless of faith orientation.
From Mother Teresa, to the Dalai Lama, to a divorced welfare mother of 12 children who put herself through school and "grew a church from a mustard seed," they share 3 basic principles:
- THEY MAKE TIME FOR SILENCE OR PRAYER EVERY DAY.
- THEY LIVE IN A STATE OF ACTIVE GRATITUDE.
- THEY USE PAIN AND LOSS AS A WAY TO GROW AND CONNECT WITH OTHERS WHO HURT.
