Some calming words

Copied this off a link from Alex "hur hur hur" Ang's Facebook account this morning :

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
— Mother Teresa

Serves as a good reminder for me because I've been increasingly annoyed with the running program leading up to the year end marathon.  It's hard enough as it is to motivate yourself to do those long runs.  When people around you hold you back or keep you from doing what you need to do - it's got me flustered.  So yeah, good reminder, that "in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway".  I will let it all go.  Ommmssss....
