imagine yourself like a tree of a forest in the wind
just be
bending and swaying and rocking
just be
grounded and confident and strong
just be
relaxed and present and detached
just be

Trail of the Lonesome Pine

Inspiring Text: Mother Theresa's 'The Final Analysis'

People are often unreasonable, illogical 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 false friends and make 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 may destroy overnight...
go ahead and build it anyway!

If you find serenity and happiness, people 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 even that may never be enough...
give it anyway!

You see in the final analysis, it's all between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway!!
