A Path of Purpose

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Teresa

Often times we get carried away in the drama of life and our own expectations. How we react to our circumstances determines the outcome. As Shakespeare pointed out, "There is nothing good nor bad but thinking makes it so." When our thoughts become conscious decisions (to be happy, do good, forgive), it is then that we take back the power of each moment and choose a path of purpose.

May you always be conscious of the path you choose.
