I saw a quote on the wall yesterday and it said “If you do good people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway” ~Mother Teresa
While I was waiting, reading this made me think about how true this statement really can be. How many times have you heard someone say that “sue” is only doing that because she wants ….. or that someone did something because of what they think they can get out of it. I mean, have you ever been that person accused? I know I have. Doing good things, being a good person isn’t a bad thing it’s what God wants us to do and sometimes when you’re that person being accused of selfishness or ulterior motives it’s hard to want to show people the good in you. But I like the end of the quote “DO GOOD ANYWAY!”
My thinking. Who cares what others think as long as your intentions are good, unselfish and without motive. Continue to be who you are, eventually those accusing will come around and see you for what you really are. A good person. I know, easier said than done sometimes. I’m the type of person who cares a lot about what others think about me and when I hear that people think I’m different that what I am, that bothers me. But over time I’ve learned, God made me who I am
