"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.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It never was between you and them anyway."
~Mother Teresa~
This is a good little reminder for me. I went to Vegas this weekend and it was so much fun! But it did make me realize one big thing..I am so glad I know what I know about who I want to be and what I will and will not do. This quote just reminds me that you can't control how other people react or don't react to what you do and you can't control what other people around you are doing. But despite all of this, you still need to be the best you that you can be. We all know who we should be and what we should do, the trick is sticking to it when a lot of times it would be easier not to. Do the good you know you should regardless of the consequence. I'm grateful I know who I want to be and i'm going to work harder to be that person.
love,
Liese
