Anyway

April 14, 2009 by Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical 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 false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you have spent years building, someone could
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.
