Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

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.

Finally, when you post something kind and uplifting online, people will argue over who actually wrote it, what they meant by the use of the word "God", and someone will try to make it about politics...

... repost kind and uplifting content online anyway..

Love those that hate you and they will hate more;
But love them anyway...

Always be yourself because the people that matter don’t mind and the ones that mind don’t matter.
