People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

I agree in the end it’s between you and Him. I have lived by my heart, much to my detriment, but I’ve learned a lot. It’s all been worthwhile.
Great post.

THE QUOTE “DO IT ANYWAY” IS FALSELY ATTRIBUTED TO MOTHER TERESA!!! This quote, called The Paradoxical Commandments, was written in 1968 by Dr. Kent M. Keith, a Christian student leader, in his handbook on youth leadership. Mother Teresa hung the quote on the wall of her orphanage in Calcutta without giving credit to Dr. Keith, and many have since falsely attributed the quote to her.

There are two versions of Do It Anyway. The one that Mother Teresa was supposed to have had on the wall of her orphanage wasn’t exactly the same version as Kent Keith’s. Mother Teresa’s version, (which may or may not have been written by her) does appear to be based on Kent Keith’s, but it was altered to be more spiritual. Kent Keith’s is secular, not spiritual. This link has both versions and does give Kent Keith credit for his version.

Thank you dear Mother Theresa. Your words are calming and remind us to do good even though it is hard to at times.
Be loving and forgiving and happy. Forget the past as my Lola Noring would say. Be in love with today and all the future holds.
