Be Kind Anyway

“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

Faith Activity Number "One"

New Testament of the Holy Bible

"Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord", (The Holy Bible, Hebrews 12.14)

Positive Psychology Activity

Having faith in all things is also about being grateful for all things. Life is hard; it is easy enough to sink into that depth of sadness, anger, and selfishness. Being able to rise above and bring faith and love to all things is what takes work.

Expressing gratitude is an exercise that just makes your soul feels good. This activity was designed by Tal Ben-Shahar, Ph.D. Every night before going to bed write down at least five things that you are grateful for. (This can be done at any point during the day.) They can be as simple as the Sun! Studies have shown that people who express gratitude have higher levels of emotional well-being overall (Ben-Shahar, 2007).
