Thankful Thursdays: Do it anyway!
During the St. George Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon, the speaker recited a quote that spoke to me and inspired me to share with all of you. We have all been let down, hurt, confused, disappointed with relationships or by events in our lives but Mother Teresa puts everything in perspective:
“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 was never between you and them anyway.”
― Mother Teresa
We do not possess the ability to control the actions of others but can only maintain our own. Stay true to yourself, continue to love and give selflessly because that is what truly defines you. And there will be days when you may not feel like it...just do it anyway!
