Do It 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 true enemies. – Succeed anyway!
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. – Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. – Be honest and frank anyway!
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. – Think big anyway!
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. – Fight for an underdog anyway!
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. – Build anyway!
People that really need help often attack you if you help them. – Help people anyway!
Give the world the best you’ve got and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. – Give your best anyway!
– Quote. (John Maxwell)
Does the Bible teach this? It sure does.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. …
Think about it and give it your best shot.
