That just makes me feel too pressured into doing something extra. I don’t like it. It’s good though… just not for me.

Aww well sorry about that. It’s not the intent of the post at all. Doing something good could even be forgiving of yourself the things you can’t do right now. It’s all about perspective ;)

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”

It is a most lovely qoute from a great humble man; and the note from the unknown author, for me it’s another thought/a prayer that this day & all that follow I want to step out of the shadow and allow myself to think good/better about myself. Because it is the one of the many things I want to change.

And Shie, keep the dentist appointment. (just went myself this morning, karma was good & this time I only have one new appointment) Happiness in strange ways.

Just so long as you accept the good and what you may consider “bad” about yourself..we are all not made to be happy and positive at all times…it’s human stuff. ;)

I needed this today.

Thanks Miss-enigma.

I think this fits this post well too. (Fits for me today at least).

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway!
If you do good, people will accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway!
If you are successful, you will win
false friends and enemies.
Succeed anyway!
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building may be
destroyed overnight.
Build anyway!
People really need help
but may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway!
Give the world the best you have
and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway!
