Do It Anyway.

This was shared with me by a friend last week as we were talking about invested time in others. It is a great reminder on how to live our lives and why we do the things we do. Your character is not who you are, it’s all in what you do.

Do it Anyway

When people are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

When you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

When you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

When you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.

Be honest and frank anyway.

When you spend years building, someone may come and destroy it overnight.

Build anyway.

When you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

When you do good today, people will often forget it tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

When you give the world the best you have, and it’s never enough.

Give the best you have anyway.

You see…. in the end, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa (adapted by AV)

Notes that Resonated

Your greatest limitation is God’s greatest opportunity
If you play the game, you must believe you can win. Belief drives action- which creates a virtuous cycle
Question the default speeds and go faster
You may be able to have it all, but you can’t have it all at once
Be aware of what you give the best part of your day to
Grief is love’s receipts. If you love, you will grieve… you have to morn and move on
Well begun is half done
Your life is like a mosaic: it needs to be sketched out so you can fit in all the pieces beautifully.
Greatness is found in the agency of others - (Scott Galloway)
Wealth is the money you don’t spend
You rise and fall to the level of your peer group
Why the f*ck not? You’ll be dead soon.
