Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.
Interpretation
What this quote means
People enter our lives for two main reasons: to bless us or to teach us important lessons.
This quote by Mother Teresa encapsulates the idea that individuals we encounter throughout our lives play different roles, either enhancing our lives in positive ways or serving as valuable teachers through their interactions. The 'blessings' represent the supportive and uplifting relationships that contribute to our happiness, while the 'lessons' suggest that some experiences may be challenging but ultimately promote personal growth and wisdom.

What I really hoped for, no doubt, was to come upon one of those lives which begin nowhere, which lead us through marshes and salt flats, trickling away, seemingly without plan, purpose or goal, and suddenly emerge, gushing like geysers, and never cease gushing, even in death.
