Why Mother Teresa isn't your measuring stick

from Tomorrow is Not Today · host Kingsley Colley

This episode explores the idea that true purpose and impact are not about comparison but about clarity and alignment with our unique passions. Using Mother Teresa's life as an example, it emphasises that meaningful work often starts as a quiet responsibility rather than a grand, visible act. The script encourages listeners to identify what makes them feel most alive and useful, and to understand that they don't need a global platform to make a significant difference.00:00 Introduction: The Comparison Trap00:59 Mother Teresa's Struggles and Determination02:11 Finding Your Own Path and Impact02:57 The Misconception of Purpose and Visibility04:33 Reflecting on Personal Passion and Contribution06:47 Mother Teresa's Legacy and Final Thoughts
