A friend sent me these inspirational words last spring. It is a reminder to be true to oneself and oneself's calling. To me it is a reminder that at the end of the day we are responsible to ourselves.
I am responsible to me and my higher self. My question is can I live with the decisions that I make
about how I treat other people and myself. That is a question for us to each think about everyday.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere
people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating,
others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and
happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will
often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it
will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is
between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
