Do Good Anyway

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 was never between you and them anyway.

We must put the opinions and thoughts of other people aside and do what we know is right. Don't let other people influence you with their thoughts or opinions. Sometimes it is best to just agree to disagree.
Pin It!

  1. I hate feeling like I need to explain myself to others, when I don't. I have to remind myself of that every once in a while, so thank you for the reminder.

  2. The only person you will ever have to 'explain yourself' to is God. And I'm certain that he will understand and love you anyway!
