If you have not seen or are not aware of the Paradoxical commandments, these are awesome for reflecting and reminding us of what is important as we choose our actions and responses.
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical,
unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them
anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior
motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are
successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be
forgotten tomorrow.
Do good
anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and
women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with
the smallest minds.
Think big
anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend
years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build
anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help
them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world
the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
