Anyway

Nov 22, 2002

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. When you forgive them you chose not to be impacted in a negative manner.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. be kind anyway. Kindness that comes from the heart will keep you from being dragged down to a lower energy field.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight. Build anyway. Build not in fear of having it destroyed, but because you are giving expression to the infinite spirit within.

If you feel serenity and happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. Others may be jealous, find fault with you, and say terrible things about you, but you are free to choose happiness for yourself.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Remind yourself to give love and do good because that is who you are, and for no other reasons.

Give the world the best you've got, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway.
