Called to be Faithful, Not Successful
Although legendary and oft repeated quotes on the internet are sometimes inaccurate, and I have not had the time to verify this one, the statement itself is very true:
God has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful.
Mother Teresa
If you carry His message to the world, do not despair if no one hears you in the present.
If you never seem to get ahead, if you barely keep your head above water – it doesn’t matter in the end.
We are called to be faithful to a divine will, something not of this world. Material success is measured in worldly terms, and is worthless in the end.
So remember what it is you are working for. Let all that does not matter truly slide.

Heh. Nice way to slip a Fight Club reference into a story about a Mother Teresa quote.
