A quote from Mother teresa...
« on: January 30, 2008, 04:20:26 AM »
 People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
Forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish 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

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God
It never was between you and them anyway

Mother Teresa

Dear Bella,

Really appreciate you posting this.

I have this on a butterfly bookmarker.

Rather than seek out a safety net, my choice remains the same, as previously, the only difference, is to have healthy boundaries, for safety.  As I simply could not, generally, shut people out.

In any case, pondering some, someone may be the person, who has something precious, like a pearl, to teach something of value, about life itself.

"Do it anyway" and "Be"

There is one greater than I, who did just that.

Many thanks, for precious affirmation.

Love, Leah
