How does this touch your HEART?

DO IT ANYWAY

Written By Mother Theresa

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 Theresa was a rotten, pushy, old lady. Everyone who worked with her hated her.
