Mother Teresa`s Anyway Poem

Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

~ People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred;

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 ~

Comment by phyllis anne bala on December 28, 2010 at 2:37pm: Good Afternoon Chief Phil,

Today I received nine (9) email postings of Mother Teresa's poem from you in my inbox

So...I figured her words and your intention to help me "get the message" was of supreme importance. So anyway, I am reading this out loud nine times today and sending copies to 9 friends

OK, please rest assured that I'm going to incorporate the big ANYWAY intention into my life PRONTO...for always and in ANY WAY! Sounds like a plan to me, anyway. You are in my heart.

Anyway, mil gracias.

In peace and good health

Phyllis Bala
