"People are often
unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may
accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest,
people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness,
people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today
may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have
and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway."
-- Mother Teresa
It is so easy to use other people and what they do, what they like and dislike, their opinions and beliefs as excuses for us stepping outside our own personal integrity.
Better to lose everyone else's respect than our own for ourselves. Act on your own conclusions of what is right and be led with a clear heart.
