Anyway

I received this in my email today. You may have read it before. I have seen various versions published; this one is attributed to Mother Theresa. Regardless of the source, it is worth sharing again.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered.
Love them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and 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, people 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've got, 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.
