Mother Teresa's Humility List

I saw this on another blog "The Silver Pen" and wanted to share it with you.  Thank you Hollye for sharing this with your readers.  The Silver Pen is a fantastic blog if you are interested.  Hollye shares her breast cancer journey and SO MUCH MORE!

I hope that you are as inspired by Mother Teresa’s Humility List as I am!
  1. Speak as little as possible about yourself.
  2. Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others.
  3. Avoid curiosity (though I don’t think that she is referring to learning, here)
  4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others.
  5. Accept small irritations with good humor.
  6. Do not dwell on the faults of others.
  7. Accept censures even if unmerited.
  8. Give in to the will of others.
  9. Accept insults and injuries.
  10. Accept contempt, being forgotten and disregarded.
  11. Be courteous and delicate even when provoked by someone.
  12. Do not seek to be admired and loved.
  13. Do not protect yourself behind your own dignity.
  14. Give in, in discussions, even when you are right.
  15. Choose always the more difficult task.
I need to work on these!
