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.

Hey Phil,
I have seen this many times, Mother Teresa was a very wise woman. It is between me and God and I can choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing.Today I'm going to ask God to lead me , guide me, and pray I can do the right thing, and not be self-righteous while doing it. Because I have to remember the good in me is only there because of the Lord.
How are things going in your life Phil, any trips planned in the near future?I pray that all is going well.Forgivness is for me , it lightens the load, clears my mind, and gets rid of the resentments, those things that always gave me an excuse to drink or blame or accuse ,etc...
