Anyway

People are often fearful and insecure. Love them anyway.

If you’re authentic and self confident, people will dislike you, be yourself anyway.

If you triumph through your trials and conquer your goals, you will become a symbol of envy and may be alone. Triumph and Conquer anyway. 

If you’re motivated by love, people may use you. Stay pure anyway. 

Those you spend years pouring into, may be gone in an instant. Pour anyway. 

If you triumph- find truth, purpose, and peace, you may seem delusional. Be delusional anyway. 

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. 

This life isn’t all about you, it’s about your light. So no matter how it makes you or those around  you feel, shine bright ANYWAY.
