The Paradoxical Commandments


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

If you do well, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do well 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 well 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.

- Dr. Kent M. Keith

But both those methods are only temporary.

The only lasting thing is self-motivation.

Clarity of Purpose … 

Many golfers never stop to think about why they play

The game. To win? To have fun? For social reasons,

Or for the challenge? For the exercise? 

Just as striving to become rich and famous often

Creates frustration and disappointment, few will ever 

Play professionally, and striving for perfection is a setup

For "failure". Know why you play the game and where

You find your satisfaction and joy in it.

- Dr. Philip E. Humbert

Sitting down.

Would you stop and try to save

Are you ‘walking and a-talking’ with the Lord?

Would you lend a helping hand?

To some poor sinner man

Are you ‘walkin and a-talking’ with the Lord?

Are you walkin’, (are you walkin’)

Are you talkin’, (are you talkin’)

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

Are you traveling in the light?

Ev’ry day and ev’ry night

Are you walkin’ and a talkin with the Lord?

If your heart said testify, would the world hear your reply?

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

Would you stand and shout His name or bow your head in shame

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

When the time has come to go, will your robe be white as snow

Are you walkin’ and a-taklin’ with the Lord?

Will He take you by the hand and lead you to that Promised Land

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?
