| "People are often unreasonable, illogical, 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 false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway."
(Mother Teresa) she inspires me. |

| I am of passion; absorbed in color.
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination.
Look for light and freedom.
Keep something of your original character,
for otherwise one has no root oneself.
It is wise to do so,
for life is short and only time passes quickly.
One must never let the fire go out in soul,
but keep it burning.
-Vincent Van Gogh |

"Watch your thoughts;
they become words.
Watch your words;
they become actions.
Watch your actions;
they become habits.
Watch your habits;
they become your character.
Watch your character;
it becomes your destiny."
~Frank Outlaw
