I Am Just Going to Leave This Right Here

Happy Friday, Friends!

I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day begins to dawn in my Sweet Home Alabama! I am so excited to live THIS day…it will surely be a great one!

This week’s Happy Friday is going to be short and sweet. I am going to share a quote and poem, place them right here for you to read, and let them speak to you however they will.

The quote:

“It is possible to be honest every day. It is possible to live so that others can trust us - can trust our words, our motives, and our actions. Our examples are vital to those who sit at our feet as well as those who watch from a distance. Our own constant self-improvement will become as a polar star to those within our individual spheres of influence. They will remember longer what they saw in us than what they heard from us. Our attitude, our point of view, can make a tremendous difference.” - Gordon B. Hinckley

And the poem:

Anyway

“People are often unreasonable, illogical 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 false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway. 

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

It was never between you and them anyway.” ― Mother Teresa

Inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta.

A couple of quick notes:

1.      With regards to the quote, What will YOUR influence be?

2.     With regards to the poem, I pray we will never forget that in the final analysis, it is between us and our God.
