For It Is In Giving That We Recieve

"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
Searching will lead to finding - How certain is the life of a saint so beautifully laid out in the words of Mother Teresa. This is how we are called to live. Called to love and serve. Created to love and to be loved. I think a lot about how to live without negativity and judgement, but let me be the first to admit that most of the time my failures end up defining me in a very real way. I will fall, continuously, but I make my promise as to get up with a smile knowing I have been made stronger.
