Give Your Best

People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.

---

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.

---

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.

---

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

---

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

---

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

---

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