I found this poem on another blog, have a lovely, and it really opened my eyes and spoke to me. I hope you can take something away from this as I did:
"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 with 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've got anyway.
you see, in the final analysis it is between you and God it was never between you and them anyway."
-Mother Theresa
