lately ive been on a positive tip..

my relationship with myself, my mom, and spiritual relationships have yet strengthened and all this positive energy flushed my heart. heres how i see it.. if i do a good deed, whether the receiver is good or not, my deed still is genuinely good from my heart. i know me, my mom knows me, my two best friends know me. hate and envy is a reoccurring cycle, so whats the point of even acknowledging what will always happen. you can only prepare yourself to rise above ignorance, hate, and envy and be a better person. i got this mindset from mother theresa, the famous quote:

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."

she's saying give your genuine best, despite other people. what matters the most is that you do things genuinely out the goodness of your heart. it doesnt matter what people think of it or you, in the end the last word will come from God not them. this is how ive been living for the past couple months.

MS JA SAYS: if your gonna do good, do good cause you want to. not because you are supposed to. ultimately a gift with genuinely good feelings behind it is what matters not the actual deed.
