Do It Anyway

Mother Teresa wrote this poem – Do It Anyway

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 true  enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest  anyway.

What you spend 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’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never  between you and them anyway.
