changeyourstars8In lieu of a list of resolutions, I'm going to post a quote that I've always liked . . . it's attributed to Mother Theresa. Seen parts of it on a wall hanging, and one of these days I'm going to buy that. But for right now, here's the full thing:
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 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 could destroy overnight . . . build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they 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 it may never be enough . . . give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.
