“Let no one ever come to you without feeling better and happier.”

Featuring one of the best souls to ever grace this earth, today’s positivity quote is an intention that will benefit all of our lives and the world. It comes from someone who has embodied love as much as any person in history, Mother Teresa. She says “Let no one ever come to you without feeling better and happier.”

We live in a shared world. The air we breathe is in my lungs in one moment and your lungs the next. The same sun rises to kiss our skin with the same rays. We are more connected than we think, which is why it’s such a shame that the world focuses on our few differences rather than our many similarities.

But in understanding how connected we are we can recognize how powerful we are. The world and its energy exist as a symphony where everyone is a part of it at the same time. Everything you do creates ripples that shift reality for everyone else, creating a universal and global impact. So stop looking around you and waiting for someone else to do it - You are the source of change in the world!

So if you want to see a positive change, Mother Teresa has a great intention for you to consider - “Let no one ever come to you without feeling better and happier.”

You cannot control everything but you can control the way you hope to make people feel. It’s within your control to show up in life with enthusiasm, authenticity, compassion, and presence. While it might seem like a drop of warm water in the ocean, it may not seem like your positive energy does anything. But truly the ocean gets a fraction of a fraction of a degree warmer because of you. 

Eventually, your impact inspires others who inspire others, and what seemed like an inconsequential contribution became something much bigger.

To further this metaphor, the best way you can great that global effect is by adding warm drops of water one at a time in your positive interactions with others. And living within Mother Teresa’s beautiful intention, you’ll play your role in creating a better world.

So my ask of you is simple. If you can find one moment today to be intentional about the way you make someone feel, you’ll have made someone’s day and begin your journey on this path. Just one person, in one moment, is a perfect place to start.
