DAY 11

40 Days of Observation

I thought it was cute to include the missing power cord: oh, that's why things have slowed down.

Then there was the power outage. 

Then the Internet continued to be out.

And then, and then, and then all the things that can pop up to give you a reason to stop happen, and you keep going anyway.
You keep writing your novel, whittling away your gluten, listening intently to loved ones, creating a meditation practice, a soccer practice, a walk the dog practice, whatever it is, you do it, anyway.

Day 11: Keep going

              People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

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