Anyway

---

People are often unreasonable,
Illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse
You of selfish 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 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 have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;

It never was between you and them anyway.

~Mother Teresa~

We may have seen this before but it is a favorite of mine and I always like to read it again. Enjoy!

Thank you, JC, for Mother Teresa’s “Anyway”! I had never seen it - and it is certainly a keeper!

I like that, too, Jaycee. Good words to remember and remind us that "..... in the final analysis, It is between you and God; It never was between you and them anyway."

I love this from Mother Teresa.
