Do it Anyway
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
- Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
- Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some ginuine enemies.
- Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.
- Be honest anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
- Create anyway.
If you serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
- Be happy anyway.
The good you do today will often be forgotten.
- Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
- Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
it is never between you and them anyway.
(From the poem on the wall on Mother Teresa's Home for Children)
