Do It Anyway
I read this today and found it very meaningful. It is so true, sadly, yet I found it very encouraging to my soul. It also put things into perspective.
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 never was between you and them anyway.
Be Blessed,
-- Mother Theresa

Hi, this is the first time I've been to your blog and I saw your "Do it Anyway" post. I just got an email with that yesterday. I loved it. It was great to see it again.
The day Mother Theresa died, I cried and cried -- I kept thinking, "What will the world do without yet another truely GOOD person?"
Wonderful post.
Hey, I'm finally back online and will have a new post Monday as usual.
Take care.
