Hi John,
I love this and especially The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway. This has happened to me and on several occasions I was on the verge of giving up, but then again that would have been the easier way out.
Thanks Elizabeth. I agree, we can’t always control what happens to us, but we certainly can control our response to it.
Hi John,
That reminded me of a saying of Mother Teresa’s. Loved it! Kindness has a way of always being returned no matter how often you give it away. I agree with everything above.
Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks Ilka. The constant challenge is for us to give unconditional love despite what happens to us.
Very nice John,
I agree, it wasn’t between you and them anyway.
Hale Yes!
Thanks Hale for your feedback, glad it resonated
Very simply put John – I LIKE it!

I have that same mantra/poem/saying – whatever it’s called, sitting on my bookshelf. I love it…an excellent message to live by. Oh, it is from Mother Teresa!
Hi Lori. Thank you, I agree it’s a very good message to live by, but it’s not easy is it. However, if we keep striving towards that standard we can’t go so far wrong can we.
