Mother Teresa - People Are Often Unreasonable

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 just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

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

I still find each day too short
for all the thoughts I want to think
All the walks I want to take
All the books I want to read
and all the friends I want to see

I read this a long time ago and it moved me profoundly. I hope I get it right
"You must be the change that you would see in the world." Ghandi

What if you were to pretend that you were healthy, wealthy and wise? What if
you were to decide to be happy, no matter what else was happening?

Take the power of ‘what if...’ seriously, and you will grasp the power to
create a world of your own design. Everything, EVERYTHING begins in the
imagination. Put it to work constructively for you.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his
life by altering his attitudes." -- William James

To counter anger, you should cultivate love and compassion
-The Dalai Lama

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Ghandi

All major religions carry the same messages - messages of love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self discipline. I have Muslim friends, Christian friends. All have these same values.
-Don't know who said this one....my mom sent me some Buddhist quotes and I thought I would share this one

Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway-----John Wayne
