self control

The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least. It’s easier to practice self-restraint when you don’t have to use it very often. So, yes, perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success, but the way to improve these qualities is not by wishing you were a more disciplined person, but by creating a more disciplined environment.

a good mind is filled with good things

We need to learn to guard our mind. Rubbish inputs, rubbish outputs. Be transformed in the renewal of your mind. So we need to input healthy thoughts and healthy inputs.  The monks: does this thought lead me to God or away from God?

trust in mommy!

A boy fell into a bucket of grease along the streets. Mother was very worried. Recommendations from passersby on all kinds of detergent.

you don't need clarity, you need trust

When John Kavanaugh, the noted and famous ethicist, went to Calcutta, he was seeking Mother Teresa … and more. He went for three months to work at “the house of the dying” to find out how best he could spend the rest of his life. When he met Mother Teresa, he asked her to pray for him. “What do you want me to pray for?” she replied. He then uttered the request he had carried thousands of miles: “ Clarity. Pray that I have clarity.” “No,” Mother Teresa answered, “I will not do that.” When he asked her why, she said, “Clarity is the last thing you are clinging to and must let go of.” When Kavanaugh said that she always seemed to have clarity, the very kind of clarity he was looking for, Mother Teresa laughed and said: “I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you trust God.”

poverty

Mother Teresa Please excuse this paper—as I have no other kind.—I am trying a little the Franciscan poverty. It is lovely to be poor and free from so many things.
