Do It Anyway

The following is widely credited to Mother Teresa as it was found, written on the wall, in her home for children in Calcutta.  It certainly reads like something she would have penned.

Drink this in slowly.  Each line could be a post in itself...and it might end up that way.  But, we'll start with the whole and see where this goes.

Do It Anyway
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 was never between you and them anyway.

AMEN!
