Mother Teresa's Message

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 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.

~Mother Teresa
