Good Intentions

" Life is not always the way we want it to be. What matter is we live with good intentions and give happiness to those we meet along the way." - Unknown 

Have you ever set off to do something for others with nothing but good intentions in your heart, for it to be seen less than good? I have never experienced this until lately, on a few different issues. I have cried for people I don't know very well, and I have lost sleep trying to think of way I could help, worried that I have not done my part. My intentions were always pure of heart, and I am not going to lie, it hurts my feelings that they were not received that way. However, I know what is my heart, and I know my heart was in the right place, and it is okay that others did not see it that way. I will learn from this and in the future I will not wear my heart on my sleeve and I will not be so anxious to jump in head first with my "good intentions."
