anyway

I'm reading this book about authentic relationships. Guess what the book's called...Authentic Relationships: discover the lost art of "one anothering" by Wayne Jacobson and Clay Jacobson. Amazing! I recommend. I read some of it before going to NZ...borrowed it from my young adults leader. I need to mail it to him, but I decided to read it again first, through the eyes of this new and changed "Cara" who is trying to be more open an honest.
In the book, I found this poem or saying or whatever it is that I though was real cool.



anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love 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 false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.


The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.


Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.


What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.


People need help but may attack you if you try to help them.
Help them anyway.


In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
