I thought you might enjoy this quote I recently received from a person in one of our Organizational Stewardship sessions:
ANYWAY People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of ulterior motives; Do good anyway. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. The joy you spread today will be forgotten tomorrow; Spread joy anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable; Be honest and frank anyway. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs; Fight for some underdog anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; Build anyway. People really need help, but may attack you if you help them; Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have, and you'll get kicked in the teeth; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
