Today’s quote of the day comes from Mother Teresa: Peace begins with a smile.

Peace, in its simplest form, is the absence of strife and conflict. But, peace can also mean something much more profound – it can be a state of mind in which we recognize our connection to one another, to the universe and all its creatures. From this mindset of harmony, everything we do can become an expression of peace – even something as small as a smile toward another person.

Mother Teresa understood that sometimes the simplest gesture can have ripple effects that transcend any physical boundaries. Her insight into the power of kindness reminds us that perhaps peace really does begin with a simple smile.
