    Something I have been trying to embrace recently:

    The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:



    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.

    In my life I have never used others' words to motivate me. I had to do it on my own.

    I just knew I was in a bad spell of creating typos and at that moment I didn't care about the mistakes in my answer here and I didn't fix them. I usually do try to type/post carefully.
    Anyway, the typo part wasn't part of my motivational words but I like it! Ha! Sorry for my creating confusion there!

    I've found that "we're expecting company" motivates house cleaning and yard work.  "We're having a party/event" leads to home improvements and landscaping getting done.  Sorry I couldn't come up with anything loftier, Veena...my back is killing me at the moment...my neighbor is having an open house, and I am doing some long neglected outside work.  :)
