Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

Hi Everyone,

 

This is one of my favorite poems, and something we all need reminding of from time to time.  In the end, we are each ultimately responsible for our actions. What you do with this life you've been given is between you and God. 

 

 

Anyway Poem

by Mother Teresa

 

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 your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

 

 

Words of wisdom from an amazing being. ;-)

 

Much love,

Sister Candelaria
