Mother Teresa
The Way of Life
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.
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,
all of this is between
you and God.
It was
never between
you and them anyway!
