People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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
unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
~ Mother Teresa
Do it Anyway
It is always hard life right? No it is not meant to be hard, in fact we make it hard. We often want to please everyone and end up pleasing no one. Why?
Because we by nature are a giving person. When we are a young child we wanted to please our parents, our friends and as we grew older we wanted not only to fit in but we took chances to stand out.
Some of course don't want you to stand out, they are afraid they are not going to measure up, they want to hold you back or at the very least even with them. They fear you will leave them or that your success will no longer demand time spent with them. Is this always true.....no. Nothing is always factual for every situation however, the fact is people love to cheer on the underdog in life but they will always follow the best.
Its best sometimes to help the underdog. Teach the underdog and make that underdog your friend. You will indeed find loyalty in that friend because most cheer for them but most abandon them.
When you stand out in the sea of frowns as I like to call it others may wonder your motive or intention. What others think about you is none of your business. Remember that? Smile anyway! Choose happiness anyway. Love and care and share anyway. In the end you will be happy you chose the way you did.
Stand out and stand up in the sea of anxiety. Stay calm and poised and ready to step in for that moment when you can be that light for others. They are watching you, they may be grumbling, complaining, anxious and angry but they are watching. Stay your course, stay on path and love the life you have chosen to live.
A life of dreaming big! Staying hungry and staying foolish.
A life of sharing that sincere smile! Always knowing that the next smile shared may make all the difference to someone.
A life of sharing in laughter! You will breathe deeper and your laughter will be contagious. Share it and watch the light in the room grow brighter and full of energy. Laughter can heal and it can be a powerful too against anger and fear.
A life of hope and belief in the good this world has to offer. Never become cynical. Sure is there bad in the world yes but often it is very misguided and overblown by the media and news outlets. There has always been evil in the world but when we position ourself and surround ourself with the love of our creator and the power of his word we will become in that good place, that safe place and we will be able to discern the negative energy before we become part of it.
Stay in your warmth of prayer and daily meditation and stay in your Gratitude Attitude and watch your day unfold. Start your day with positive words in the mirror and self talk that is only energetic and full of love for yourself and the world. Stop being that negative energy and start to let your love flow endlessly.
Is this all possible? Of course it is and if you stay the course and live a life that is worth living record it. Get your journal or your computer fired up and leave behind your story. Leave behind a record or your children, and their children and for those who really cared to come back to.
A life worth living is a life worth recording! Stay the course : ) Smiles to you and our weekly affirmation placed here for you : )
I design my life of purpose. I will use the power of love and mindful words to help in my design and direction of a life of purposeful love. I will not quit, I am successful in everything that I create as I create with intention to make a difference. I am a winner, I am loved and I will share in my abundance of love to empower others.
Trust in these words this week, Say them, repeat them and each day watch the shift in your beliefs.
Words with power, with emotion and words that will help affirm your design of a better you.
Use your mirror time and face time each day to acknowledge that you are loved.
By your creator, and by the reflection in that mirror. You are loved. Take the time for you! It is within you right now to make your day more joyful, happier, and designed the way you choose. Its your turn to act!
By your creator, and by the reflection in that mirror. You are loved. Take the time for you! It is within you right now to make your day more joyful, happier, and designed the way you choose. Its your turn to act!
Smiles as always sent your way. Today and always. : )
