Recipe for combating discouragement.

Recipe for combating discouragement.

  People are frequently unreasonable, illogical, and self centered.      Forgive them anyway.

  If you are kind,people may accuse you of ulterior motives.         Be kind anyway.

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

  If you attempt to be honest and frank, people may cheat you.     Be honest and frank anyway.

  What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight,          Build anyway.

  After messing up,  you find serenity and happiness, and others are jealous.     Be happy anyway.

  After asking for forgiveness, and seeking reconciliation, with no results.       love others anyway.

  Try to give others the best that you have,  it may never be enough.    Give your best anyway.

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