The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

What's the meaning of this quote?

Quote Meaning: This quote speaks to the transformative power of finding meaning and purpose in the work that we do. It suggests that the real wonder lies not in the mere act of completing tasks or achieving goals, but in the deep sense of fulfillment and happiness that comes from dedicating ourselves to something that truly matters. When we commit to work that aligns with our values and passions, we transcend the ordinary notion of labor as something that must simply be done in order to make a living. Instead, we embrace the work itself as a source of joy and inspiration, finding happiness in the very act of contributing to a cause greater than ourselves. This shift in perspective elevates our work from a mere series of tasks to a true labor of love, and in doing so, unlocks the miraculous potential within each of us to create meaningful change and find lasting contentment in our lives.

Who said the quote?

The quote "The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it" was said by Mother Theresa (Bio / Quotes). Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun and missionary who dedicated her life to serving the poor and disadvantaged.
