Five life lessons from Mother Teresa
https://www.wordonthestreets.net/Articles/667234/5_life_lessons.aspx)

1. Never Quit. She persevered through all the adversities that she knew in her life.

2. Embrace the Power of Prayer. She said that if you're too busy to pray, you're too busy. For her, it all began with prayer.

3. Age with dignity: She delighted in old age. She knew that she had come from God and she was going home to God and that was the secret to how she aged with dignity.

4. Find Joy in Serving Others: She said that a life not lived for others was not worth living. She lived for others and derived great joy from her relationships.

5. We Need Each Other: She knew that we were made to love and to be loved, and this was our primary need. She lived it out, loving others and allowing them to love her, particularly as she aged and became more dependent on those who cared for her.
