ANYWAY by Mother Teresa

                                     






​
​                                           ANYWAY
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
                                FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY
  If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
                                     BE KIND ANYWAY
                  If you are honest, people may cheat you
                                  BE HONEST ANYWAY
       If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful 
                       friends and some genuine enemies.
                                     SUCCEED ANYWAY
    If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
                      BE HONEST AND SINCERE ANYWAY
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight
                                       CREATE ANYWAY
            If you find serenity and happiness, some people
                                       may be jealous.
                                   BE HAPPY ANYWAY
          The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
                                    DO GOOD ANYWAY 
 Give the world the best you have and it will never be enough.
                                GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY
          For you see, in the end; it is between you and God.
        IT NEVER WAS BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY
                                    ---by Mother Teresa
    (I will meet the worst in the world with the best in myself.)
