Anyway..

(from a sign on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, a children's home in Calcutta)

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you're kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you're successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People need help but may attack you if you try to help them.
Help them anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

My verse of the day:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting."
[ Psalm 139: 23-24 ]
