A Little Inspiration
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
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;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for posting this as it truly is inspirational.
It’s so easy to get discouraged from doing good and this post by unknown author is just what one needs to read once in a while to realize that being discouraged from doing good, helpful and positive things by how sometimes others react would be an unfortunate defeat.
While other do matter and it is also between us and them I think, if they have a negative influence we need to guard ourselves from that.
Keep it up.

Hi Vance,
You’re most welcome.
Yes, it can be discouraging I suppose but if you remain true to yourself it seems to not matter. At least that’s what I’ve found to be the case.
Cheers,
Rod
