Don't look back ... that's not where your going ...

Yes, accept things that have happened in the past,
but pay attention where your going to in the future,
focus on that because that is your life.

"LIFE TRUTHS"

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
LOVE THEM AND ...FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY.

If you do good or are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
DO GOOD AND BE KIND ANYWAY.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
SUCCEED ANYWAY.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you;
BE HONEST AND SINCERE ANYWAY.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable;
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.

The people with the biggest minds and biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest ideas;
THINK BIG ANYWAY.

People who really want help may attack you if you help them;
HELP THEM ANYWAY.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough;
GIVE THEM YOUR BEST ANYWAY.

Author: Mother Teresa.

.... a happy life, is a life full of purpose
a life of openness to new and challenging things
life is continually changing
and without change we do not grow
to grow is to live
if as a person you develop, you gain a level of contentment
and you can love, that is what being happy is about ...

~Crown Princess Mary of Denmark~

may you all have lives full of purpose
