The Paradoxical Commandments

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 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.

--Dr. Keith M. Kent

A positive outlook does me little good when it comes to getting out of bed. I may be realistic/practical to the point of cynicism, but I generally believe in the good nature of humanity and that the world is a pretty nice place.

Doesn't help motivating me to get up in the morning though. Few things motivate me, in fact.

I don't find any help in this... All it says is, this is what you *should* do, this is how you *should* feel, which has been said before. It says nothing about why or how, which is what I would need.
