Do it anyway

I bet all of us have faced situations where we’re about to do something but became unsure since we’re worry that we might receive a negative side effect from our action. Well, at least I have faced this things uncountable time in my life. Today, I am so relieved since I have found the answer of that haunting feeling through ‘The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness’. On the book, there is a quotations from Kent M. Keith which are written as the following:

THE PARADOXICAL COMMANDMENTS

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

2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.

3. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.

6. 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.

7. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

9. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.

10. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world best you have anyway.

The fifth commandment I typed in bold is my favorite. Hope you’ll find your fave one here too. Stop being uncertain and just as Nike says:

JUST DO IT.
