St. Theresa had shared (similarly) in the face of life, we are met with many challenges, in such times:
We may be judged, though we have not done any wrong. Still do good anyway.
We may be robbed, even in the process of giving. Still give anyway.
We may be accused of falsehood in the process of proclaiming truth. Speak truth anyway.
In listening to those express needs, we may be lied to. Listen and help anyway.
In reaching out, it may to unrecognized. Reach out anyway.
In loving others, you may be rejected. Love others anyway.
In life, you will have opportunity for many choices that will appear to make life easier -though you recognize the harm it can cause, no matter how small (even sometimes when you believe no one is watching). Choose wisely & with compassion & care, as if everyone were watching, anyway (afterall, God is).
Blessings on your life journey!
The First Peace:
"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
~Black Elk; Oglala Siuox
"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday,
and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow:
Our life is the creation of our mind."
~ The Buddha
