Be yourself

I find that often people react negatively especially to criticism. I hope this quotation will be a gentle reminder for us to be who we are in God.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of being selfish, and having 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 my cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may try to 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 have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it’s between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
