Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world your best anyway.
-- Meditations From A Simple Path -- by Mother Teresa

Wow, what great words and thoughts.

A simple but brave, ethical, and moral way to guide ones actions and thoughts. I found myself reading and agreeing with each point reflecting on my own values and ideals.

Thanks for posting a thought provoking piece today, I needed it!

I like that quote a lot. It's quite an anchor for the soul, isn't it.

Thank you. I happened upon it while looking for something else. Serendipity.

Thanks. I thought it was a good thing for me to see and hear. Whether or not I'll actually learn anything remains to be seen. And heard. :oD

Yeah. the kind of thing we should all have pasted to our mirror. Of course, if I did that, I'd never be able to see myself. The social and philosophical implications of that paralize me. I think I'll just leave it posted here..... ;o)

I've always thought that if someone DID call a psychic the first thing they should hear is, "I've been expecting your call." lol Glad to know you're a good one :)
