I found something that was written by someone else that has wisdom to it. I realized that after reading it, this is how I attempt to go through life.
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 have anyway.
Because, in the final analysis, it's between you and the person in the mirror; It was never between you and them anyway.
