Do It Anyway
Practiced by Mother Teresa
People are often unreasonable, illogical,and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse youof selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win somefalse friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someonecould destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
