People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred
Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway
If you are successful you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
be successful 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.
If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. But give the world the best you have anyway.
You see in the final analysis, it is all between you and God: it was never between you and them anyway.
(attributed to Mother Teresa)
Blessing:
Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the Son of peace to you
Amen
