The Paradoxical Commandments

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

The Paradoxical Commandments

by Dr. Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, 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 men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down

by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

May I Please Have Your Attention

Scattering your attention, allowing yourself to be seduced by headlines which are not conducive to your goals, can never be the ingredients in a recipe for success. Get a journal, start a scrapbook and start giving attention to outlining your goals. They should be the last thing you think about when you go to bed, and the first things on your mind when you wake up. Your attention is the source of your power, FOCUS and MANIFEST. All the best.
